Upgrading from prebuilt to custom
Sydney Cook replied to Sydney Cook's topic in New Builds and Planning
okay thanks, I think noctua has a good aircooler maybe. I did plan to front mount my rad then have no fans at the top, sometimes I set things on top like funko pops or whatever. Yes I am keeping my SSD but replacing my 2tb hard drive with a m.2 since it is faster and my pc is supppppper slow right now on loading and startup times. -

yes I thought about the airflow version of this case, $5 less and same layout I believe with fans and rgb controller also. for the price of a 3tb M.2 if I remember right was more than two M.2's but I want the transfer process of data to be easy so it I need to spend a little extra I can for the 3tb. as for AIO which one would you suggest? I heard noctua is good but I am unsure if it will fit. I can experiment with the case and different cooler. -

Thanks for the list, I was looking for rgb ram and a white case with fans that will all work together will good airflow. And the cooler is interesting to me since it will be less cables. This list I have will work with my budget I dont know if these cuts are needed but the cooler does sound nice. -

Budget (including currency): currently what I have now in the pcpartpicker link is what I plan to spend Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: photoshop, multitasking, 1440p gaming, graphic design Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): https://pcpartpicker.com/user/squidnee/saved/BP8TYJ I current have a 1660ti that I plan to use until I have the money saved up for the GPU in my pc list I also plan to top mount the AIO and keep the front fans where they are, plus maybe use a rgb fan from my prebuilt to the back of the new one as an exhaust I also plan to transfer all my SSD and hard drive info to the M.2's but am still a little unsure how to do that. I do have a few videos. THESE WILL BE MY PARTS, I PLAN TO BUY THEM NEXT WEEK this will be my first custom build by myself so I wanna make sure everything will go smooth since I am a beginner but I know the basics. Any conformation on these parts would be wonderful! Since I have been saving up for a while to upgrade which is needed. Plz any tips for reinforcing ideas would be great!

Yep I do realize that, but I am not buying a gpu or storage but I might google how to transfer from hardeive to faster M.2 storage which will help a lotttt. As before I’ll upgrade that later and this link is what my build will be. Subtracting what I stated I am keeping -
