My First Gaming PC Build

[DummyHeadGamer]

   The parts for the build were bought on Cyber Monday of last year so I got many of the parts pretty cheap. As you look through my pictures I'm sure you'll see my somewhat bad cable management; It was my first build so cable management was not my major concern, making the computer turn on was Also, my VERY heavy HIS Radeon graphics card does sag quite a bit which you also can tell from the pictures. I overclocked my graphics card to 1100mhz core clock and 1350mhz memory clock with stock voltage. I left my AMD FX 6300 at stock because I was working on a budget and didn't buy aftermarket cooler.

HOLY GOD! You should really make a support for that graphics card apart from that it looks good

Excellent first build! Congratulations, :wub:  I would try and route that 8pin motherboard cable around the back and out the top.

Fix... fix the sagging, please. For the sake of your card, do it.
