BitFenix Prodigy M build - Part 1: Introduction

This has been a long time coming, but the final parts have arrived for our new BitFenix Prodigy M build. We're going to do this build in a multi-part series, which will better show off the system itself, and our building and testing of it. What better way to show off our new system, than taking a video of it through Google Glass? Here is our new system #throughglass.

The new system will be used in a variety of ways, with different benchmarks being run on it. We'll be doing some testing at 4K, and triple 1440p, too. We're hoping to get some more 4K displays, so that we can do some triple 4K, or 12K testing - that's when the fun will really begin.

The parts we have for our new Prodigy M system:

• Case: BitFenix Prodigy M
• CPU: Intel Core i7 4770K
• Motherboard: ASRock Z87M OC Formula
• RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance Pro 1866MHz DDR3
• Storage: SanDisk Extreme II SSDs (2 x 240GB, 1 x 480GB)
• Cooling: Corsair H80i
• PSU: Corsair AX860i

Below, we take a closer look at the Prodigy M.

And the obligatory pictures, of course!

There you have it, the introduction to our new BitFenix Prodigy M build - with the next part coming in a few days. We'll take out the 5.25-inch bay, and get the motherboard, CPU, RAM and cooling into the system, which is where Part 2 will come into play. Until then!
