RIGEDEN IDENTITY
Enter the Eden interface.
A darker, quieter gaming aesthetic: charcoal space, pearl-white illumination, drifting mist and restrained ice accents. Color is reserved for information—not decoration.
☁
Mist & atmosphere
Soft layered fog and white volumetric-style glow create the Eden identity without interfering with readability.
◌
Pearl illumination
Buttons, selections and hover states use silver-white bloom instead of traditional rainbow RGB.
◇
Functional color
Ice accents indicate interaction while amber and red remain available for compatibility warnings and errors.
BUILD KNOWLEDGE
Know what matters before checkout.
RigEden is designed to make the important PC-building constraints visible instead of burying them in a parts list.
PLATFORM
Start with the socket
The CPU and motherboard must share a compatible socket, and the board must support the memory generation you select.
- CPU ↔ motherboard socket
- DDR generation
- Board form factor
CLEARANCE
Measure the physical build
Powerful parts still need to physically fit. Case limits matter for GPUs, tower coolers and radiators.
- GPU length
- CPU cooler height
- Radiator support
HEADROOM
Plan beyond bare minimums
A build should leave practical room for transient power demand, cooling and future component changes.
- PSU capacity
- GPU PSU guidance
- Cooling capacity
RigEden verification principle: compatibility guidance can narrow the risk, but manufacturer specifications remain the final source of truth before purchase. Reference prices shown during this preview are planning values, not live retailer quotes.
RIGEDEN BUILD ACADEMY
Compatibility without the guesswork.
A practical reference for the checks that cause the most expensive PC-building mistakes. Use it alongside the builder and Planning Lab.
CPU + BOARD
Platform check
- Match the CPU socket to the motherboard.
- Confirm the motherboard supports the selected CPU generation and required BIOS.
- Match the board's DDR generation to the memory kit.
CASE + GPU
Clearance check
- Confirm the motherboard form factor fits the case.
- Compare GPU length with the case's available GPU clearance.
- Account for front radiators or other hardware that can reduce usable clearance.
COOLING
Cooler check
- Verify the cooler supports the CPU socket.
- For air cooling, compare cooler height with case clearance.
- For liquid cooling, verify radiator size and a supported mounting position.
POWER
PSU check
- Estimate total system demand rather than adding only CPU and GPU ratings.
- Leave practical headroom instead of targeting the bare minimum.
- Verify required GPU power connectors and manufacturer PSU guidance.
Before purchasing: re-check the final component model numbers against current manufacturer specifications. RigEden's preview tools are decision aids, not a substitute for final manufacturer documentation.
RIGEDEN BUILD ACADEMY
Learn the build before you buy the parts.
Ten practical guides covering compatibility, GPU clearance, PSU headroom, cooling, DDR5, storage, cases and build budgeting.

BUILD WITH CONFIDENCE
From parts list to a rig that fits.
RigEden helps you plan around the checks that matter before you buy: platform compatibility, physical clearance, cooling support and sensible power headroom.
01 • START
Choose your target
Start with a gaming goal or build from scratch. Your budget and performance target give the rest of the build context.
02 • VALIDATE
Check the fit
RigEden checks CPU socket, memory generation, case form factor and key component clearances as your build comes together.
03 • REVIEW
Understand the warnings
Hard fit problems are separated from advisory guidance such as PSU headroom and records that still need manufacturer verification.
04 • VERIFY
Confirm before purchase
Final specifications, prices and availability should always be confirmed with the component manufacturer and retailer before ordering.
COMPATIBILITY ENGINE 2.0
Know what fits before you buy.
RigEden separates hard incompatibilities from recommendations. Socket, memory and physical-fit failures block a build; PSU headroom and unverified data are surfaced as warnings.
Choose components in the builder to generate a compatibility report.
How RigEden treats component data: Technical specifications and compatibility rules are kept separate from pricing. A component can remain technically compatible even when its retailer price or stock changes. Reference prices in this preview are planning aids—not live retailer quotes.
COMPONENT DATABASE
RigEden product catalog
Browse the product records powering the builder. “Verified specs” means the technical record has been checked against a manufacturer source. Reference prices are not live store quotes.
PRODUCTION DATA LAYER
Real product catalog foundation
RigEden now separates product specifications from pricing. MSRP/reference prices are a starting point—not live retailer quotes—and can later be replaced by retailer/API feeds without rewriting compatibility logic.
🗃️
Structured product records
Stable IDs, brands, SKUs where available, sockets, form factors, power, dimensions, memory type, capacity and other compatibility fields.
💵
Price provenance
Each item carries a price type so MSRP, reference pricing and future live retailer pricing can be distinguished.
✓
Verification state
Catalog records can be marked as specification-verified while unfinished records remain clearly flagged for research before publication.
BEFORE YOU BUILD
Common questions, clear answers.
RigEden separates compatibility guidance, planning estimates and retailer information so you can see what is known—and what still needs verification.
Does “compatible” guarantee every part will fit?
No. RigEden can check known rules and dimensions, but exact model revisions, mounting positions and manufacturer requirements should be verified before purchase.
Are the prices live retailer prices?
Not in this preview. Prices labeled as reference or MSRP are planning values. They should not be treated as current retailer quotes.
Why leave PSU headroom?
Headroom helps account for the rest of the system, transient demand and future changes. The Planning Lab provides an estimate rather than a guarantee.
What should I verify last?
Confirm exact model numbers, CPU support and BIOS requirements, physical clearances, cooler mounting support, PSU connectors and current manufacturer specifications.
