felt like blowing some money on a friday so i can motivate myself to work harder next week.

nzxt h150 - 65$
amd Ryzen 7 3700x -300$
asus b550m plus - 160$
sapphire nitro rx 6700 xt - 800$
crucial 16gb ddr4 3600mhz - 99$
samsung 980 nvme m.2 500gb ssd - 65$
wd black 4tb hdd - 100$
evga 750w modular gold psu - 120$

i purchased the case, psu, mobo, ssd, cpu, ram all at once, after purchase they offered to sell me a rtx 3060 or rx 6700xt same one i just bought from different store...
i declined...



try scalping that... $1100 at a cerified retailer for a card that costs 800...reference card is 479$ msrp...

hopefully ill have time to set this bad boy up tonight.

i dont like the color but good luck trying to copy that build.

still tryin to decide on the fan and cooling configuration... those god damn argb headers, thankfully this mobo b550m plus has both 3 pin and 4 pin rgb headers. Anyone have any tips on how to connect 4 pin argb header to 3 pin rgb if its even possible?

dont try, theyre different voltage
you can get away with some mismatches with fans and just lose speed control
dont do it with lights, youll burn out the bus
if you have both 3 and 4 pins on your mobo, double check that theyre actually for lights then get a splitter and have one of the busses pull double duty
various rgb control boxes do same thing but often have additional problems of their own
anyway, good luck we bought alot of the same parts (i ended up cutting my case to fit a 360mm rad)
post your fini

Because the 4-pin RGB header is 12V and the 3-pin ARGB is 5V, you could be pumping from 12V header into a 5V fan. That's one reason why you shouldn't.

Second reason is they fundamentally work different. I think 4-pin has three pins to address color while the fourth pin is is the power/voltage. The 3-pin works differently - one pin for color, one pin for ground, one pin for power/voltage.

And did I read that correctly, a 4-pin ARGB header and not 4-pin RGB header? I thought ARGB exists with 3-pin only.

You can also buy a RGB hub that converts 4-pin RGB header to 3-pin ARGB fan. Those do exist but I do not have any experience with them.

no room for gpu


this is as good as it gets.

couple notes...

the asus b550m plus mobo doesnt not have a usb 3 gen 2 port on the motherboard...
nzxt h150 case is very compact tight spaced for a radiator and 3 fan gpu or im just doing it wrong.
still need to mount psu and gpu and im too lazy today.
