Hello everyone, this is my first ever Desktop PC, i’m using it as a workstation and occasional gaming.

SSD: Samsung 990 Pro 2TB
MB: MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk MAX WIFI
Cooler: Cooler Master 360L Illusion
Fans: Cooler Master Halo 120mm Fans
Case: Mars Gaming MCV3
Thermal paste: Noctua NT-H2 3.5g
Total: 1650€
Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster T220HD 22 Inch TV (14 years old).

_____________________________________
I will buy another pack of 3 Halo fans to fill the gaps in the case (you can see the cables), and also a new 1440p 170Hz monitor as well as a new Keyboard and an UPS.
Tell me what you think!

Sweet build. I hope you got a good deal for the 5900x as I would recommend a 7600x because the upgrade path and the similar performance from what I’ve heard
You need a new keyboard and monitor like this instant dude lmao
hey thats a good setup, I had that specific monitor for years but sadly i broked down before pandemic started, the colors got black and white
This is very creative. I really like the color scheme and the layout of your desk. Congrats on your success in building your first desktop PC 🙂
Congrats brother
nice placement of the keyboard and mouse sir, can i ask for your dpi?
2 new ips monitors will , improve your experiece 10x
What mouse is that?
unfinished without the monitor and keyboard, dont know how you can use this
The monitor made me literally lol
Pls upgrade your monitor asap
Looks clean! My first setup was not even close to being as nice as this. This is awesome and I’m excited for you to keep upgrading when you can OP! No rush, always take the time to enjoy your hardware.
That monitor would bottleneck the PS2 as well
Damn I remember when that style of monitor/TV was all the rage (Samsung was one of main companies responsible for that glossy black look, but others did the same thing such as LG)
Welcome aboard! Yea, monitor is one thing, but you’re already doing that. I myself use 42 inch sony tv as a monitor thou… I don’t care about latency that much 😀
a lil bit of patience for a new monitor and your setup will be stellar, still, grats OP for the setup, liking the placement of mic.
I had that same monitor/TV and the panel was horrible, i don’t think I’ve ever seen worse.
You are just pointlessly having bad ass hardware with that monitor my friend
Dang, looks nice. And any problems in it, you already seem to be planning on addressing. Have you decided on a monitor? A 27” 1440p should be good for pretty much anything, but 24” is also good, especially for ESports.
If you have a low budget, maybe get something that has a wide Color gamut over a feature like HDR. But if you value deep blacks in your image, maybe get some kind of an OLED (QDOLED, WOLED). 144Hz should be more than enough. Ofc, all this goes out the window if you are an ESports gamer and only care for low latency. Then get something with High refresh rate, low latency and good pixel response time. And a 24” monitor is likely ideal to easily view the whole screen at once.
I would highly recommend researching thoroughly before getting a monitor as it is the part of the PC you interact the most with. I got a 27GL850, and mostly happy. The blacks are horrible but it makes up for it with low latency, good Color reproduction, wide Color gamut and 144Hz refresh rate.
i hate people who have the best monitor and the worst 1hz 1000ms 1 pixel monitor
Bro put the best pc with the shittium monitor💀
I am confused between the thought of Pc being bottle necked by the display and keyboard? Or the other way around.
I don’t trust that PSU.
You just need one fan on the back exit, save the other 2 for the future. (Dont buy more, you dont need more)
I have the same tv. It was my main tv for quite a few years, but now it’s in the bedroom. It’s still going strong. Good luck with your new pc. Eventually you’ll keep upgrading bit by bit. You have a much nicer setup than I did with my first pc. Welcome to being a pc gamer and enjoy your gaming.
Budget for a new monitor when you go through such an upgrade. That 7800xt is going to be underutilized with your current monitor. Congrats on everything else!
