Please see attached files...this is NON-OVERCLOCKED with an old GPU...

Is this a fan that vents inside the case or is this a blower motor card....if it is a blower motor does it vent air out these holes? Only thing I could come up with for the odd hole cut outs under the ports that makes sense to me. LOL

I will likely be using an AMD build for AAA gaming, and will be using all the suggested builds and criticism of parts, etc to choose what to purchase for the AMD box...this is truly for OFFICE, editing pics, youtube stuff...the other AMD build will be for Gaming ONLY....

just wanting to hear the opinions, and exactly what the guy who showed me better value....I learn from my mistakes..and will be educated by the opinions and suggestions from others....and i want to see what my choices render when i start testing it out...

i will consider it....not really using it for AAA games though....mostly for home office, and light esports and some picture editing, and a VERY rare youtube video...nothing really spectacular...but thank you...if I get another stimulous check I may set up one for gaming at AAA using AMD...

Per ASROCK website board supports 9th gen ...i will get cheap 8th gen if bios update is needed only if bios doesn't support bios update via usb. has a boost up to 4.2 mhz from 3.6 mhz, has a tdp of 65w, is quad core, and only cost me 75 dollars plus tax....the case comes with one intake and one exhaust fan out of box...and I am building another pc later when I have MORE disposable cash, and prices go back to reasonable for higher end hardware...

bit high for my taste....was looking for decent but easy on the budget a bit..under $1000....but if I come across some extra green stuff I will consider this. Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions

Brian Matthews, Charlestown, IN Budget is $1500 or lower. To be used as all around (light gaming, picture processing, and non-professional video at times) PC for travel when necessary and at home. Can I just have the thoughts, and criticisms of this proposed build? Waiting on Disability to be able to purchase since internet, and PCs is my hobby, and at home 90% of the time now. I will most likely stick with these components, but if I get strong enough logical reasoning I may consider changing the components. Prices are via PCPARTPICKER, and will likely do searches to verify nothing lower available, but MUST be from reputable source.

Is this looking a bit better?...I THINK this will be the one I stick with regardless of price, etc...I like these parts, but still want the feedback, and thoughts..(I have made up my mind...wont be talked out of it I am going with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, going out of support as of 2020 be damned...I HATE Windows 10...I will run Windows 7 till I cant find compatible hardware/software...)

room on desk, area I have for system is limited...and I am not a big fan of really large monitors anyway...if i could get 1080p IPS for reasonable at under 30" max would suit me just fine

i will keep that in mind
