Is it worth upgrading from the qs 240, or should I stay with the case. Planing to stay m-atx. https://www.aerocool.com.tw/en/chssis/pgs-q/qs-240

What about LitePower gold+ Power Supplies. Those units I would would probably put in C or B, because they are not bad units. The lower end litepower looks pretty bad though.

fair point

following on from what fasauceome has said it also depends on what graphics setting (especially resolution) you are playing at, for instance at 1080p must high-end graphics cards are bottle-necked by the cpu but going up to 4k it turns into the card bottle-necking the cpu

It depends on what you want to get out of the ssd, if you want a fair balance of speed and storage then you want to get yourself an 2.5" while m.2 sacrifices storage for even more speed and size. seeing as the ssd you get is listed as the only one, I would personally recommend splitting the build into either two ssds or even ssd and a hybrid drive combo (Unless anything other than m.2 is a no go zone). This is due to the fact that modern ssds due to the way they work slow down along the process of writing data. The following parts list provided gives you an m.2 240 gb ssd to put quick access files such as your O.S. this gives you about 180 gb to work with (recommended not to fill ssds u pall the way) plus a 2 tb sshd to give you a large storage solution. You may already know this and just want speed, in that case your build is absolutely fine. Alternative parts list: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/NfRw29

I was thinking maybe doing a 16:9 monitor and a custom panel with 5.25” drive bays maybe, would that be a good idea? Also I don’t mean to be mean but it’s measure 55 cm by 41.5 cm which is around 4:3 ratio. thank you for your comment

Currently try to mod a disassembled crt television to turn it into an all in one system. The tv has a 4:3 ratio of around 27 inches (without bezel) but I’ve had no luck in finding a display of that size. Any ideas for alternatives or places to get the screen. any help would be appreciated, I live in Australia for context.

Thanks for helping me me out but I have checked all the the connections and switches and followed the guides that I could find

Not working

I recently went into my first build and onece I was nearly finished then I tested it. Turned out no speaker(speaker didn't come with either case or motherboard) and no light. No fan either so can someone please help me troubleshoot this, no pins are bent.

Hi I was wondering what configuration would best for a budget between 350-400 aud. P.S. This will be the build that changes me to p.c. Gaming Edit: We can also do a 400 to 500 aud price point

Thanks for that space reptile but at a different shop I can get a Rx 460 for 149$ AUD
