This is my first time building a pc, I finally got everything together after around 6 months. I've never done anything like this before, it was pretty fun. I can finally say I joined the PC race. I think i'm going to call this build Storm, since the inspiration was for this build was based on the stormtroopers from starwars. There's not much in the RGB department here but I don't think that's a problem? what do you guys think? I'm debating whether I should add an LED strip or something to light the case up. Also does the case look better with the front cover on or off? If you guys have any other suggestions feel free to tell me. Now I just need the last 2 monitors....

Why is SSD required? Also can my current ram fit with a noctua fan? I prefer the the look of the noctua after I swap out the fan for black and use the chromax white covers.

Ya I could swap out the 2060 for a 2070 super, Maybe swap out the motherboard for a ASUS Prime X570-Pro?

Dropping down a tier sounds like a pretty good idea, though I’m not sure what to swap the motherboard for. I would probably swap the 2060 for a 2070 super.

Unfortunately it doesn’t come in white, though i’ll look into it. It could be an option If I want something better than the 2060

Hey guys, I’m building a computer for the first time. I’m trying to build a black and white computer that’s good for game development, animation and gaming. I’m still a student so my budget isn’t amazing, but I managed to scrap a little over $1500. After I did some research I think found some good deals.
