    Do you fancy getting electrocuted? Cause that's how you get electrocuted.

    For computer construction, you need both a PH2 and a PH1. Don't cheap out; good screwdrivers are not very expensive. If you get just a PH1, you will have trouble with slippage, which damages screw heads and can damage screwdrivers, whenever you try to install and remove 6-32 screws, which are used for mounting 3.5" HDDs and most MOBO standoff screws. ODDs, 2.5" drives, and the MOBO standoffs of a few case brands (such as Lian LI) use M3 screws, which works best with PH1.
     
    It doesn't hurt to have various lengths of screwdrivers, either. I have PH1 and PH2 screwdrivers in lengths from stubbies (around 3" long) to 24" but the ones that are around 7" long are the ones I use the most. Those are not the only screwdrivers I have (I have a large variety of Phillips, flat blade, Robertson, hex, and Torx screwdrivers and 1/4" hex shank screwdriver bits) but the 7" long #2 and #1 Phillips (in that order) are the ones that get used the most.

    PH2 isn't very common in computer cases, but I have seen a few. In most cases, PH1 / PH0 would work anyways.
     
    You need PH0 and PH1. PH00 is a nice-to-have - I'd call it necessary if you're doing component disassembly (like GPU).

    That's pretty decent.
    So what's your budget for all this? You have all the storage, the PSU, and the case, so that gives you more wiggle room.

    KingBlue72 reacted to Jurrunio in Cherry MX Brown vs Cherry MX Speed   
    Brown is the all rounder switch, Speeds are the gaming switch. Brown has longer keystroke than Speed and a bump as you press it down, i.e. the rebound force drops at the middle of the stroke so you feel like it sucks your finger in.
    Speed is just red with shorter keystroke, so I'm not sure why it's not recommended.

    seems fine. Might want to go for a 650W PSU if you plan on overclocking.

    KingBlue72 reacted to Majestic in Is G-sync worth the price?   
    No not really. At 144hz tbh it's hard to tell the tearing. And due to the refreshrate there is much less chance of tearing anyway.
    I explain it in a single image in my signature.
     
    Get one with Freesync, so you atleast have the option later down the line. Though every 144hz display probably has freesync.

    You could go for 2933mhz or 300mhz RAM since Ryzen benefits from the higher speeds otherwise it looks pretty good.
