It's been years since I built a PC. How long? My last one had an FX-8350. I've been starting to do more video editing now so I needed something other than my laptop. It's nice to see RGB being a lot more integrated nowadays. But I also see why Linus complains about all the cables. Wow, there's a lot. Way more than when I built my last PC. I wasn't just going to build something simple. I always loved making something unique. Even if it's just a paint job on the case, it's enough for me to say that this is a one and only. I'd really only ever build one ITX PC once for an HTPC years ago. So I decided to go this route this time around for my main PC. Even though I chose what seems to be the biggest ITX case on the market 😅 After hours of research, I decided on these parts.
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X
Mobo: ASUS Crosshair Impact VIII Impact
RAM: G-Skill Trident Z RGB 32GB
Storage: Sabrent Rocket Q NVMe 1TB
Graphics: XFX 5600XT
Cooler: Noctua NH-U12S
Case:NZXT H210i
Power Supply: Silverstone ET700
The graphics isn't the highest end but the computer is mostly for video editing. Plus with Nvidia and AMD both coming out with GPUs soon, I didn't want to invent to much in it just yet. For the case color I chose one of my favorite car colors. Honda's Phoenix Yellow. I had the paint mixed at a local paint shop and then I applied it in my friends garage. Don't think it came out to bad. A little rough spots around the edges, but was able to wet sand them down to smooth them down a bit. Do need to thread my cables, don't really like how the combs separate the cables. But overall very happy with this build. Was also looking at getting the Chromax Noctua cooler but they do seem to be out of stock. At a reasonable price anyways. Overall, had a lot of fun building this one. Brought back memories to all the computers I'd build and cases I'd mod. Was always an AMD fan and really happy to see them doing great these days. Let me know what y'all think. Maybe I can get back into more case modding 👀
