Building for a friend

[eg0re80]

Ok building a computer for a friend, she wants to give her 11 year old a gaming computer for Christmas. She was going to buy a Dell from the store but I had to stop her, I told her I have spare parts to throw one together minus the GPU so she would have to get one. With help from a couple friends I was able to get this far. It's an old Cyberpower case that I painted his favorite colors (Red and Lime Green), an MSI b550 Gaming Plus, a Ryzen 7 3700x (a friend upgraded to a Ryzen 9 5950x), an Adata 250gb m.2, a 1tb HDD, Asia Horse fan kit, and an EVGA 650w PSU. Doing a case swap for a friend and he is letting me keep the Phanteks vertical GPU bracket in his old case. Now I just gotta keep my figures crossed and someone near me upgrades their GPU and sells their old card at a reasonable price.

Oh forgot to mention memory, right now it has 2x8gb Corsair but they are only 2400Mhgz (it was all I had to spare when I started) but a friend just shipped me T-Force VulanZ 2x8gb 3000Mhgz since he just upgraded his memory.

What case do you have?

I suggest ocing the ram abit to boost cpu performance

 

The build looks "interesting"  im guessing that the asiahorse fans are not that expensive which is good and the 24 pin has an rgb extension cable???

No name on the case, It just had Cyberpower stamped on it, I found it on the side of the road a year ago, the asiahorse fan were cheap I bought them for a build earlier in the year for about $50 but went a different route, and yea the 24pin is just some kit I got off amazon a while back for like $20

OK not the prettiest but it's done. Was able to find a 2060 for my friend and she went and paid $500 for it.
