Hey all,

this is my first ever PC build.

i am using this rig for casual gaming and some internet surfing.

 

Ryzen 7 1700x

MSI x370 Gaming pro Motherboard 

MSI RTX 2060 Ventus XS OC

2x 8gb G-Skill Ripjaws V 3200

1TB M.2 Cosair

500gb Scan Disc SSD

Arctic Freezer II 240 

Sharkoon  Silentstorm SFX Gold 500w

Anidees AI Crystal Cube AR v3 case.

 

Any suggestions on if I should upgrade anything or if you see any problems let me know please.

 

The Camaro in the bottom of the case is to hide some cable as I have tried to keep the rig as tidy as possible and this case has no cable channels at the bottom

Very nice looking build, especially for it being a first time one. The only thing I would recommend is cleaning up that Camaro. It looks quite dusty compared to all of the other components.

wow this is very clean and nice build especially for a first build.

like the idea you have to use up the space on the bottom of the case, nothing worse than a huge case with nothing in it. 

at least later on if you upgrade your GPU to a 2.7 or 3 slot GPU you have all the room you need.

nice case not seen one like that with the double wide fans on the front.

Sorry about the dusty Camaro, I was rushing to get the photos taken 😅. I will have it dusted forthwith!

Many thanks for the praise.

When I was selecting a GPU I had to take into account that I am a casual gamer and one of my main games is War Thunder. I must admit though since completing this rig I have started to look at more graphics intensive games, so upgrade of the GPU in the future could be a possible factor 😉

My issue with GPU's is the price, it is hard to justify the spend to what I am physically doing with the rig!
