My First Ever PC Build

[Shizzmoney]

Cable Management needs a little more work (thank you, maze of RGB light header cords) but the thing's posted, and works and no issues!  

 

Also got some sweet mini deals on New Egg (CPU, Case) and Amazon (the rest, minus 3070 which I got at MicroCenter in store).  Also get 5% cashback on this build from Discover, so that's an added bonus (which will probably be immediately spent on games lol).

I would def try to organize the cables. Other than that everything seems okay

Nice looking build, great work!

Nice and you managed to score a 3070, only criticism is it does look very cluttered and the aio pipes look awkward, that being said I don't know how I would fix it

Yeah, a big issue for me is I went thrift on the power supply, and while the Silverstone Essential 750 Bronze 80+ has a good rep for performance/quality, it's not a modular power supply which I will def get next time around for easier cable management for a Micro ATX case, as it's easier to do so when you only use PCi and SATA cables a la carte.

 

I will also add: the 3070 is awesome, but man that PCi cable connection location.  Ugh
