First build. I've done it!

[xXBelFrostXx]

I have finally done it after 4 years of watching LTT regularly. Rewatching linus and the gangs last how-to video atleast 5 times during the build and it turned out well if I say so myself. Using a 4060 but it will do!

 

Ryzen 7 7700x 

MSI b650 gaming plus

32gb of gskill flare x5

1 TB WD_BLACK 

ASUS TUF gaming 750w 80+ gold

Cooled by the sweet sweet Corsair icue h100li

All contained in the tried and true Corsair 4000D airflow

Awesome!  Well done and have to say it looks pretty great.  Did my 1st build a few months back and there's nothing like the feeling of watching it start up, work, and even turning the rig on and off.  Sounds corny but there's a lot of hidden pride and joy in there.  

 

I have the same cooler as well and pretty much love it.  Also went with MSI for the motherboard.  My original 1st was an itx by Gigabyte but couldn't get it to work so after trying to build and failed, scrapped the whole thing.  I sent everything back and started over.  MSI didn't let me down in my second build and didn't have to wait till 3rd times the charm.    

 

Curious though, was there any particular reason you chose to mount the h100li up front vs. on the top of the case?

That's fantastic! The MSI just stand out ya know :). I mounted it there as it just seemed convenient. Now that you mention it I would like to put it on tip and replace it with fans.

Great little thing. Are the front fans the right way round? Unless those are reverse fans, your front is exhaust and so is rear?

Oof good call. I wasn't thinking. I'm flipping it and adding 2 intakes on the top.
