Yeah all in all I am pleased. I will go to NCIX to pick it all up on Wednesday, then it's just a matter of putting it together. I also changed the case, but everything should fit nicely

I'm about $100 over budget but that's fine

That is a sick build for 1k brother!

Omg the case I bought is stupid lol.

Have the processor and video card in place finally

I have it fully assembled now... But I made one huge mistake

The case I bought is a NZXT S340, which doesn't contain a CD drive of course. I planned on just using an external CD drive but guess what... I forgot to fcking buy it when I went to pick up all of the parts

So basically I have to wait for tomorrow to install Windows... I'm an idiot LOL

Or optical drive I guess I should say

Also the case is designed to hide most of the wiring, well let's just say I would have to reconnect everything if I want the wires to be hidden, because at this point in time there are all over the place

Mounting the PSU was dumb and by the time I figured it out it was too late

take the time the make some neat cable management.
drops your temps a lot and it looks 23 times better.

Optical drives are like floppy disks nao,
Just use ur key from the windows Cd, and dl the files online into a USB.

Also, haven't installed my liquid cooling yet, youtubing how to

May get my neighbor to do it

The Instructions make it seem complicated, also want to arrange wires first, but good news is that the pc itself is running and installed
