It took a little longer than we would have liked, but we’ve finally got the AMD and Corsair sponsored Raven Ridge giveaway system built up and ready to ship off to the winner! We put together a short video of the build process for those of you that would like to see how the rig came out. As you’ll see, with all of that beautiful Corsair gear and a streamlined AMD Raven Ridge APU setup, the system is super clean and tidy...

The complete parts list for the system included:

We cover a couple of the “gotchas” that could crop up when building a system like this, but overall its was smooth sailing from start to finish. Working inside the Corsair Crystal Series 570X chassis is awesome – especially with a setup like this one that didn’t require a ton of cabling. Even with glass on all visible sides of the 570X, the smart design of the drive bays and cable channels, keeps things looking neat and clean from all angles – if you take some time to wrap up the cables properly, of course.

After a BIOS update, a couple of Windows patches, and installing some drivers, this rig was ready to roll. We hope you enjoy it Beholder88! It will be in your hands soon! When you’ve got everything set up, be sure to share some pics so everyone can see it in action.

And now it’s time for us to put together our next giveaway. Stay tuned!
