I got a Ryzen 2600, 16gb RAM, an X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming and an RTX2070 on Boxing Day. Put them in an old case, an FT02, only for the case fans to finally start to die days later. Gave me an opportunity to build an (almost) whole new rig from scratch by buying a new case. I ended up with a Corsair 400C which is just dandy. I did replace all the case fans with Noctua because, well, it's Noctua.

 

Ryzen 5 2600 @ 3.4ghz
Noctua NH-L12S with NF-P12 and Phantek Halos LED ring
2x8gb DDR4-3000 Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro
Gigabyte X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming
Gigabyte RTX2070
2x500gb Samsung 860 EVO
250gb Samsung 970 EVO
Seasonic X850 PSU
Corsair 400C

 

I'm not really a sucker for LEDs or RGB, but something about a very dim purple makes me feel good. Other than the dim lights, it's a pretty straightforward clean build. I wish I could tidy up the cables in the corner but not sure how to better it, I think I did good already.
