My first build

Hello LTT Forum, I just wanted to share my new build and hear some feedback on what you all think. Cable management isn't perfect and there's some additions I want to make in the future but I think it turned out pretty decent.

The RTX 2060 and 3600X being on sale is what did it for me. My wife and I will be playing lots of BL3 and who knows what else :D (Want to buy Metro Exodus and Cyberpunk 2077 when it gets here!)

Only issue is that iCUE and MysticLight hate eachother :(

Thanks to LTT, JayzTwoCents, Gamers Nexus, HardwareCanucks and Hardware Unboxed for hours of great content that helped me build this rig!

@Constantin I plan on adding 1 rear exhaust fan in the near future but I thought 3 intake was enough...?

One rear is not enough, at least 1 back exhaust and all the other you can add, intake, like top, bottom

You want an exhaust fan. I would move the bottom front fan to the rear for the short term.

I have 2 intake and 1 exhaust on my PC, no thermal issues whatsoever 

 

But if OP wants their PC to sound like a helicopter taking off, it would be a great idea

Yeah...No. Front and side are for intake. Back and top, exhaust. It really can't be simpler.

So are you saying I can do 2 intake and 1 exhaust in the top together? like //back to front (1 ex) (2 in) (3 in) - would that cause airflow issues?

Your PC setup? Yeah, no thanks. I'd rather not see something like what The Verge would build.

A turd with an HDMI cable jammed into it is more powerful than a MacBook Air, and up until this year it had a better display, too.
