I’m back, pics and updates weekly!

[RadeonMike]

Was on the forum years ago helped out anyone I could contributed a decent amount, have been gone from the pc scene for a while I’m back! 
Found a deal that got me back into the whole thing, ryzen 5 1600, rx570, 16gb ram, b350 msi board. All running for $160. Using that as a platform for my new system. Already upgraded a few things, xfx 5700xt (most likely a temp card until I get the sapphire 5700xt and use this for folding) seasonic prime ultra titanium 650w with cablemod cables, took it out of its case and got a meshify mini c.  plan to get the asrock x570m board, dark rock tf with fans removed, five pure wings 120s for the case. Ryzen 5 3600 or a 7 unsure yet. And 32gb of ram considering dominator platinum right now may change that not doing much rgb on this build. Going to be a black and silver accent build as clean as I can get it. 

thisnis the system the way I got it. Not very attractive:

 

No pics of case swap next i got to the cables, psu and gpu this weekend. Starting to look a bit nicer, runs a hell of a lot better, old connector and new cables shown for reference:

 

 

let the pile of boxes begin, many more to come. 
 

Added some bonus pics of my old system for fun, and to show why I don’t want rgb this time around

I hate how perfect you got those PCIe runs.

 

I picked and prodded at mine for 2 months until I said fuck it, and bought 24 pin combs, cut them down to 16pin, and ran my PCIe as 1 big cable.

They actually just ended up that way when I did the runs this morning didn’t take much messing around used the combs that came with it have some new ones on the way to go with the asrock board with the silver on it.

I am so harpy when people choose Seasonic, the best PSU in the market!

PS: Nice build man, enjoy it!

Ever since the Ltt sleeper pc using one I fall in love with them, no cons from most reviewers and a solid unit I don’t mind paying the price for it don’t wanna mess around with a cheap psu!

That looks solid man. As seen below I could never get my runs to go straight, and stay even with eachother. So my fix is below as well.
