First Ever PC Build - Inspired by Scrapyard Wars

[EmperorClone]

Hi everybody! (hi Doctor Nick!)

 

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:

 

1. NZXT H440 Case (w. PSU)
2. MSI B150 PC Mate Mobo
3. 2 x 8 GB Hyper X Fury DDR4 RAM
4. Nvidia GTX 1080
5. 256GB M.2 SSD
6. 1 TB HD
7. i7-6700

Concerned at the cooling from the rubbish stock fans I've added the following:

1. 3 x Corsair ML120 in the front
2. 2 x Corsair ML140 in the roof
3. 1 x Corsair LL140 at the back (RGB, but dont have an RGB controller.... yet!)
4. 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.

 

Have a great day!
