So, I have just finished pimping up my first ever gaming PC. I am looking for feedback and any way I can improve on this build for cheap. Either aesthetically or performance-ly.
Inspired by the idea of Craigslist bargain hunting in Scrapyard Wars and giving myself a budget of £800 (Yup, UK), I set out to get my best possible deal. What I ended up with is the following:
NZXT H440 Case (w. PSU)
MSI B150 PC Mate Mobo
2 x 8 GB Hyper X Fury DDR4 RAM
Nvidia GTX 1080
256GB M.2 SSD
1 TB HD
i7-6700
Concerned at the cooling from the rubbish stock fans I've added the following:
3 x Corsair ML120 in the front
2 x Corsair ML140 in the roof
1 x Corsair LL140 at the back (RGB, but dont have an RGB controller.... yet!)
1 x 120mm RGB fan from some random company I cant even remember.
The case looked really... boring. Plain. I felt it needed some R, some G and some B. So I bought 2 x £10 strips off Amazon and the result is below.
Total cost: £730.00. So £70 under budget.
Please let me know your feedback and if it looks okay or could I make it better cheaper in any way at all. Very happy to listen and learn.
I actually learned quite a lot in the first 2 months of not putting more than 10 minutes a day in. I think I can crack it with another year of practicing with friends in Fortnite haha.
