told you building your own pc is better

for the same specs a premade would have been double that
for the same price you'd have at least 4x worse parts

save all your boxes and serial numbers and register your hardware btw. just in case something breaks or gets stolen

and monitor your temperatures the first few days too. especially under load


Yeah, I never trust things that are built for you. Some of those pre-built's are put together by Hellen Keller lol.

Will do. I save everything >:). Working on getting my OS on there right now. Forgot to bring a flash drive with me when I got my orders..

Stupid question but.. Should I be getting x64 bit or x32 bit windows. Assuming 64 since 32's are usually older pcs.

okay sweet. It's downloading now. Thanks!

I'll go ahead and take some pictures so yall can roast me on how bad the back of the case is haha


the back looks really bad because, like I said, some of the cords are criss/ crossed because I was just trying to get the stuff in there. Didn't know which order. So I may re-do

Route that 8 point cpu cable behind the case and tuck the wires and it'll look pretty well done :)

:)

Pull the gpu cable straight down and then just reroute the others where the ssd is.

Besides that you did a good job for first timing it

Dang didn't read the thing about pulling it straight down.

I think I fixed things a bit though.





damn they're blurry. Sorry.

Pretty much I unplugged most of the things from psu, the put it back in the right order so there's no criss-crossing. Ran CPU wire behind, just used a little tie to keep it from touching mobo. Annndd put the black cover back on the back and put the screw back in to keep the gpu still.

Also, take the wire from the Hyper 212 Plus and bend it like this and stick under the fan...

Use a zip tie to keep the wire bundled.










/e I had to do the same thing...
