Was afraid to build a PC on my own – I went for it

By


I always thought it's quite a hard thing but after lurking here for a while, learning and watching some guides I decided to go for it. Made the switch from console. Aaaaand … it's like Lego. So if there's someone like me out there: It's easy. You can do it. All it takes is a free day and some patience to follow a guide properly. (And the money to buy parts of course). Thanks PCmasterrace!

    Looks good! I like that gap in the front fans for the GPU.

    Brilliant. You will nva go wrong with a AK620.
    As much as aio is more popular. Air cool is easier to manage and monitor

    If the temps are ok then it’s fine, but technically speaking you shouldn’t separate the case into 2 chambers with a beefy GPU. Otherwise it looks like a really sweet build.

    Lots of good choices in here. Amazing job my man, especially for a first build

  7. peterthedoor

    Mate, we got the same build, the only difference is i have a AIO and some rgb

    Nice

  8. SwaaaggerGirlz

    I love the white PC case and RGB fans

  9. TactualTransAm

    I’m a simple man. I see XFX and I like it

    I would run the gpu power cable around the back plate side instead of the fan side, but nice cable management otherwise

    Indeed, the first time is always the hardest. Every build and upgrade after gets easier and easier.

    I thought the fan connections to the mobo and daisy chaining them was going to be a nightmare. Luckily, I liked the Fraction Torrent and the fans came mostly installed and with a hub. Setting them up was easy.

    But before building, it was my biggest concern. Everything else was gravy.

    clean af. Id probably brace the gpu with something different that makes room for the third front intake though ><

    I’m always scared to build a pc on my own that’s why I’ve never done it

    Looks very nice, but sadly, the parts are not that good.

    The 7900xt will be fucking loud.

    The A850GF risks to be loud as well, even at low power.

    If you don’t care about the noise, though, they’re totally okay.

    Assuming you’re in the US, you probably overpaid a lot for the ssd.

    The biggest problems are the RAM and the motherboard.

    You have XMP ram with an AM5 cpu on a low-end MSI mobo.

    First, MSI are the worst mobo manufacturers on AM5. You have either fucking long boot time, or high risks for your pc to be unstable (potentially getting a lot of BSOD).

    Second, they are extremely annoying when it comes to the RAM oc profile (XMP/EXPO). It can cause a lot of trouble as well to have XMP ram with an AMD CPU.

    Third, your motherboard is meh at best, and you could have gotten much better for almost the same price, especially since you have enough for a 7800x3d + 7900xt.

    Edit : unless something changed, or you ordered from overseas, you can’t be from the US since DeepCool has been banned there, so the price can be different.

  23. Actual-Statistician3

    I’m proud of you bro. Good job 🙂

  27. reddit_pengwin

    Good component choices, and a lovely clean build.

    Well done & enjoy!

    I have an AK620 as well. Great cooler. Cant go wrong with it

  29. adamkm2130

    What’s the case you got? Congratulations, anyway!

  30. Hot-Opportunity-7960

    I thought this was a joke had to look twice to see the mobo 🤣

  31. TwiggysDanceClub

    Looks really nice! What CPU cooler is that?

  32. Previous_Power_4445

    Well done! You have the bug now 😂
