Another NES build!

[magicammo]

What's up everyone! I have finally got around to starting my nes mod I've been wanting to do this for years now ever since I say the nes 3.0. I finally have enough cash to get everything I need. My dad had an old nes in his she'd that was in pretty decent shape so I saved some cash there but here's the parts I went with 

 

Part List:

Cpu: intel i3 10100 $80 offerup

Gpu: Nvidia evga gt 1030 $100

Mobo: asrock h470m itx AC $120

Psu: HDplex 200w $65

Cooler: cryorig c7 already had 

Ram: 16gb not yet purchased

Storage: 256gb nvme not yet purchased

 

I'm slowly beginning to prep the NES I started by dremeling out the piece of plastic that looks like a T and a bunch of the screw posts. All it needs is some sanding now. I'm waiting on a 3d printed motherboard tray that subparmixtape on here designed ( thanks to you sir!) This will make the build a lot easier and cleaner.

 

I'll post up my progress

Nice...

But honestly you should just get a Ryzen 3400g / 4350g so you won't need the gpu.

I was thinking about that but the 3400g is very expensive right now and there's no way I'd pay $300 for it . Also its more of a challenge to put a gpu in there. If the price comes down on the 3400g I'd take it. But the price I paid for everything so far $365 can't beat it right now. Also emulation is better in intel chips

Huh?
Where'd you read that?
And what emulator are you going to use?
Also, here's a 4350G:

Intel chips perform better on cemu the Wiiu emulator. Also doesn't the 3400g have a bit more graphical power than the 4350.

You can get it outside US or ebay.

Well yeah the GPU will be the most challenging, i can't imagine where you gonna put it.

Plus you need to work on the airflow, can't put a 120mm fans without making anymore holes.

 

Goodluck, keep us posted with the result.

No, Cemu performs better on chips with better single-core performance.

And in this case, it is Intel, so we're both right

Just noticed that, oops!

 

I'm really curious how this turns out.

Good luck!

Well shit! I didn't think of going outside the US. Not sure of reputable places to buy from anyways but it's too late now . I got a single slot gt 1030 so it will fit imma make some vents for it to breath

4350G is based on Ryzen 3000 / Zen 2, so it's definitely faster than 3400g (zen+).

Yeah but the gpu is lower than 3400g, the cpu speed will make it up for it.

Ahhh got it! I just remember people having issues running cemu that were running amd chips and still have the issues at times. Yea I'm planning on sanding it down today hopefully it turns out alright haha
