First time building a PC!

[Edswald]

Hello everyone today I would like to present you my first ever PC build. I have been needing to upgrade for sometime now as my current rig was 8 years old, I was going to go the pre built option but with the way the market is right now I figured I would get a better value if I just built it myself. I hear Linus and all the other tech content creators talk about how everyone should build a PC so I figured I would take a shot at it and I'm happy to report everything went well. Some of the pictures here include my old rig to compare the size difference as when I got my first rig I had no idea how monstrous this thing would be I'm happy now with the smaller case so much easier to handle. I would like to also note that I repurposed my graphics card so that way I didn't need to pay theses ridiculous prices right now, I figure a GTX 1070 is still a good card and I plan to upgrade when this whole market clears up.

Very nice. Great cable management in the front, can only hope the back continues! Only thing that bugs me and I would like to know why, the mismatching fans? 2 140mm and 1 120 in the front? Also looks as if the top 140 and the 120 are zip tied in to the front of the case?

Well the case came with 2 120mm fans and I got the 140mm fans after, I thought the case only had one fan so I thought to get 2 more for more airflow. The fans are not zip-tied I screwed them in, just on one of the 140mm fans did I leave the bottom screw holes empty as I did not have access to them because the case was blocking the holes. Thanks for the comments much appreciated!
