You could. I probably will too at some point later on, but BitFenix is cheaper where I am. For the first iteration of my build though, I'll stick with ghettosleeving with electrical tape. Just putting it out there - that's also a viable option if you're on a tight budget.

I mean, ill have 900-800 USD, but i also want an ultrawide monitor, new GPU, the whole desk thing, so idk, ill save that stuff for last I guess.

If you're building a desk, I would really recommend not having a small budget. 

 

If you're desperate for a PC, don't go for a desk. If you're willing to save up for a while or ask your parents for financial help, then make the build look good and function really well.

 Unless of course he doesn't have a desk yet. That said 800 USD is pretty tight. Of course, US hardware prices are also lower.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.

800 is tight for a desk? it wont cost that mutch... but with a gpu and monitor....

I do have a desk, but my screen wobbles when i type, and my computer is kinda to heavy for it.

In my book that is pretty tight. That said, here in Europe hardware prices are higher. I paid more than the equivalent of 200 dollars for a Corsair K70 here. Shipping not included.

Yeah my k70 was 130$.

The monitor and the GPU will set me back 470$ leaving me 330-440 for everything else I need/want

I feel like you're going to run dry on funds... But maybe try to gather more while you build?

School is over, exams and then I can start the build. New plan, I will suffer with my current monitor and gpu untill the price comes down and i have enought mone for the 34 inch ultrawide 1440p monitor.

So that puts me with 800-900 just for the desk, so ill have enough. Maby even enought for water cooling....

Whoa. Water cooling. I have know idea when it comes to water cooling apart from it looks cool and it needs stuff like rads, water blocks, pumps, reservoir, tubing and of course the actual water/liquid that dose the stuff :) anyway if you put water-cooled in the title soooo many more people are going to join in.

Sounds awesome and the desk looks good but what about the IO ports on the mobo & gpu.

if you want to plug something in now you'll have to take it apart or there'll have to be some sort of door
