The chosen CPU cooler for this build is the Alpenfohn K2 Mount Doom which we have previously reviewed here. It is a different choice over the beloved Noctua NH-D14 and it is nice to see that something else is used instead. They perform very similarly so a change is welcome in our eyes.



A pair of KFA2 GeForce GTX 680 EX OC 2048MB make up the graphics card configuration in this system. They are certainly very powerful and come factory overclocked. They run at 1111MHz on the core instead of the 1006MHz which other cards run at. The only downside to these cards is that they only feature 2GB of VRAM which may be limiting in some of todays and future games at higher resolutions and detail levels.



The storage in this system consists of a Samsung 840 solid state drive which is 120GB and a Seagate 1TB drive. Considering how much this system costs, we feel a 2TB drive would have been better suited to this build.



The power supply is different in our sample from what is stated in the specifications list on the product page. As mentioned previously, it is most likely that a modular (either semi or fully) power supply would be preferred in such a build.
