    Hello! I am AirSocial and I am a pretty old user on the forum. In mid 2018 I made a post showing off my PC at the time. It had a i3-8100 with no GPU and 8GB of ram with just a 120gb SSD. Everyone was extremely supportive and only told me nice things and help me improve it. Now here I am today in 2022 now 18 with a job and able to purchase parts. This is what that one post inspired me to do. The way people reacted proved to me to just make what I like and I would enjoy it more. She now has a i5-9400f, with 32GB of Corsair Vengeance RGB Ram, with a Gigabyte GTX 1060 6GB, a Gigabyte H370 Aorus board, Corsair H100 AIO, and a Corsair CX650m. With the desk setup being a Corsair K70 Mk.2, Corsair Glaive, Corsair Void Pros, and the RGB Corsair extended mousepad (Forgot the name lol). As you can tell I enjoy Corsair a lot showing almost anything that can be Corsair is, down to the power supply. Also, the AIO is a 240mm but do to ram clearance can only fit 1 fan. This may seem like a waste but the i5 stays pretty cool averaging about 23C on idle with just the one fan. I basically bought the AIO for future proofing. I hope everybody enjoys the progress! Here is a link to the old post. Shoutout @Crunchy Dragon for believing.

    So this is my first PC. I am 15 years old and don't have a job. I've been saving for around a year now for just what I have. I'm planning to get a GPU later on. Here are the pictures. So first things wrong is The colors. I have a RGB strip set on lowest brightness of blue for like a mood theme. I have a red fan that came with my case and a JetFlo 120 Blue Led fan in the back. My end goal is to get the Blue Fans all around.  I will also get custom cables (Again its hard to get money) that would be black and blue for my GPU and my Motherboard. Gpu end goal would be a 1060 or something better. Also I am looking to upgrade from 8 Gigabytes of ram to 16 in the beginning of next year. Tell me hat you think so far and how you think it will turn out. Also let me know what you see wrong and what I should fix

    Also sorry for the pretty awful picture quality. The iPhone 11 pro max doesn't like all the lights, In my first build cable management with a big issue and you can see that cables are basically invisible besides the AIO lines.

    So in my mind I have wanted to have a Button Box for a very long time. To buy one made is at least over $100 to have more than 2 buttons on it. I've been researching and found out for a decent one you can make yourself can be a end result of $50! Huge difference from something that would be $200 since it is all decked out. I plan to use it for games like American Truck Simulator and ETS 2. I made it all into a amazon wishlist. If anybody has ever built one of these before please give me and tips that you can.  Its going to be my first time attempting something like this. I will be posting status updates on my page. Please stay tuned if you want to hear how it goes.

    Adding to this, you can see how this company https://prosim.no/shop/en/button-boxes/222-buttonbox-pro-26-ready-labeled.html charges $200 for a box, if you look at my list, IT HAS THE SAME EXACT switches. On, on, top and bottom, off, off left, right

    Update On my Box, So me being dumb, I ordered Normally Closed switch which means it turns off when you press it, its reversed from what I need. Also my On and Off switches I just found out you have to hold them, they just dont stick into place. I am getting the rest of my stuff today. In addition I messed up when I first ordered everything.

    I bought a HP 8100 with a i5-750 4gb ram, sold the I5-750, bought a Xeon X3440 then bought another 4 stick. And bought a 10 dollar cheap gpu For $70 dollars I had a PC with a Xeon and 8gb of ram. The benchmarks are in my desc.

    They seem like the same exact thing only different colors. Only the CL15 is a little newer I believe.

    I would go to the store and see what you think looks better. In something like this we can only tell you specs of the TV and our opinion. If I was you I would just go to a Best Buy. Those screens are running almost 24/7 so if you think it has burning issues it will be there.

    You should have a surge protector hooked up to your PC. Its seems dumb and not worth it but it can save your PC from stuff like this. They are cheap too. Any ways it sounds like when you PC draws power it crashes. That could be a power supply issue. Do you have another PSU to test? Sorry just read how you said you upgraded. It sounds like it would be the mobo then.
