Just ordered everything but the monitor
Bought a used MSI Gaming X RX480 8GB for 220$.

Got my hands on a coupon. For a purchase of above 236$ I save 47$.
Found out I could use this coupon multiple times, so ended up using it 4 times. Saving a total of 188$ or about 18%.

Still waiting for the PSU in the mail.
Also missing the AM4 bracket for the cryorig cooler, thankfully it's free http://www.cryorig.com/getam4.php

Monitor won't be bought for another week or two.

The PC has been up and running for a week. She's loving it. we went with the monitor LG 27UD68P https://pcpartpicker.com/product/JhkwrH/lg-monitor-27ud68w



Here is the brackets to hide the PC under the table, can't do this before I get the free bracket for AM4 from Cryorig, the Stock cooler is 2CM to high.

Yeah my dad and I :)

Finally got the AM4 bracket for the cooler!

At the second picture I hadn't tired up the cables, so it was a mess.
the third picture have I taken of the top of the case, over time the case started heating up, even the SSD's got into the 50c

A picture of the how the setup looks.
She just got a steelseries mousepad from me for now, probably going for a better looking one.
Also considering spray painting the foot on the monitor to match the keyboard and mouse.

- Looks good, cheaper and more powerful than the Imac she wanted, she's happy with the build :)
