pretty hype on this started as upgrade ended in rebuild because strix 3060 ti didnt fit in my compact mid case

here are the parts : https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zWj43Z

ended up using 6x black LL 120 added co-pro and cable mod black individual sleeved modular cables

Damn, nice build you got there.
Props to the cable management, doesn't look cluttered at all even with the 2x HDDs you got behind.

Didn't you consider M.2 SSDS? Didn't see them in your part list.

how much $ this pc worth

i got a normal 2.5 SP 1 tb it like the cheapest 1tb SSD i could find at the time of original build and its one of the few parts i kept just because i had alot of stuff saved on it already

appreciate the props to cable management i re did it like 3 times before i was happy with it. bit of trial and error setting up the commander pro too



probably worth a little less than i have into it because of the scalped prices i paid for 3060 ti. i think i have almost 3700$ into it

i paid 1000$ for the gpu and 630$ for the cpu alone


the asus crosshair mobo i got was a refurb off amazon i got it at about 300 after tax and everything i believe

Damn those scalpers, $1000 for 3060ti is pretty insane.
Unfortunately there aren't much choices due to the shortage.

And to take it to the next level, maybe you could try cable mods.
Go for a black/white patterned cable maybe? It would really enhance the build even more, imo!

white ram and white radiator are a nice touch, nice build

Very clean very nice those cables look like they were placed by a surgeon.

white hoses on rad but black sleeves on cables is offsetting but still looks better than anyone who doesn't sleeve, bill's suggestion of varied colours on sleeves would help

could use a few more cable managers for the sleeved cables

the fan header ran across the bottom/back of the case stands out, if you can re-route through the rear it would look a lot cleaner

the cabling in the back could be cleaner but it isn't usually visible I assume, just needs more time and velcro

nice build

thanks appreciAte the advice ill take you up on that fan suggestion i was thinking that myself because it blocks one of the LED's on mobo

yes the scalping is insane. but being that it is a strix. this was lower end of what scalpers were asking on this particular card. i managed to get a 3060 evga cheap and sold it for well * scalped prices. to offset the step up to the TI i made 200$ on the evga. so in theory you could say i payed 800$


also i did get the cable mod. i was considering getting the white. but the black was a bit cheaper and i could get them quicker. my fans and gpu are black i didnt care too much to be 100% white there always ends up some black showing anyway
