Just don't make the following mistakes: Not putting stuff on the motherboard before putting it into the case Screw the ssd into the motherboard directly instead of using the standoff to raise it slightly Put the psu fan facing inwards, choking airflow Not put fans on the radiator Used the long screws on the radiator, effectively drilling holes into the heatsink and ruining it Pull out the socket cover before putting the cpu in Not do cable management If you need any help there's plenty of tutorials on YouTube, look at the ones with a high like > dislike ratio (and definitely do not use The Verge's tutorial).
man i wish i knew more about pcs, like reading half the stuff you wrote i couldnt sort them out for what they are. still, im happy for you getting a monster pc. may not 1 game have a fps drop for you! i got my pc from my brother, the GPU was on life support twice and was revived by a professional surgeon in a microwave facility. yeah idk either. now im playing on a laptop lol.
I dont suggest a NZXT case as they have HORRIBLE airflow and will lower the life span of your parts. I would suggest you a Lian Li O11 Dynamic if you can spare more money
I personally strongly disagree with this statement. From what I’ve heard there’s mixed opinions regarding this topic and few buyers do indeed criticise it for its “poor airflow”. However, most buyers find it handpicked for ventilation. NZXT’s cases have a good design to offer better intake and exhaust. For the price, visual, and function, NZXT’s range is extremely good. Easy to work with Plenty of space for building Little noise from the case fans Balanced airflow High quality Great for cable management Easy to clean Although NZXT cases aren’t the flashiest or the prettiest in the world, they do the job, and they do the job well. Overall great build, I’ve fallen in love with that SSD _
Dang nice build! You found a 9900k for only $320? that's amazing! I would recommend a larger SSD, however... that 2tb drive is enough to hold your games but you will miss the amazing loading times of a better SSD. Trust me, its worth it. Other than that, that sounds epic!
I'd recommend getting a 1000W+ PSU, I have a similar setup with a beefier board, water cooling, more ram, more storage, more fans and i'm upgrading to a 1200W because of some issues.
wow a 3900k is $318 now!?!?! I wish I got that smh. btw nice build, I would go with the 3070 tho to be honest.
but 3080 better (yeah 3070 is definitely better value for your money tho, too bad its selling out everywhere moments after they become available)
whoa! that's a really cool PC Be sure to get really expensive lights in it so you can rub your setup in my face
Jeez, I'm out here playing on my mums laptop. LMAO, nah but you did a good job on it! . Post the pictures once you're done with it.
all parts are bought sitting in my room just waiting to snag a 3080 buts its impossible games and programming microcenter had a crazy deal!
