So I got my parts today and decided to build it. And at the end I kind of gave up on the cable management after many problems.

 

Also sorry there aren't many pictures, most were out of focus so I could upload them but they are terrible quality.

 

I shall only post the pictures I managed to salvage and or took after on my phone.

 

Here is my explanation of the title, the wifi card's driver and the card in general broke my windows multiple times, so I am no longer on 8 pro but on 7 after 3 installations. So yeah . . . that is back in the box and an email has been sent.

 

Anyways, cringeworthy picture time!

 

  • Everyone is all together

  • Time for the vanity shots.

  • Completion picture taken after removing wifi card

Time for new and improved cable management!

Res for rants I have to post and such

 

Here is the pcpartpicker list for prices http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/b/FoW

 

RANT TIME

  1. Alright time to rant, the case is terrible for building in, (in my opinion). In order to fit in my motherboard I had to remove my PSU and optical drive, which is just effort.
  2. PSU. The cables are just too stiff and are really difficult to work with, especially with the lack of cable management room.
  3. Wifi Card. As I mentioned earlier it broke everything so yeah . . .
  4. Anyways this took me way too long to build but hey, minecraft actually runs now. Haven't touched anything else yet.
  • Here is a picture of the ram from pcpartpicker, with a nice black pcb, in reality it is green so yeah . . .dhUsXrx.png

I do plan on buying a new case (maybe) at after Christmas when I get my graphics card, considering the 350d at the moment but Fractal has some cases coming out which I like.

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Never give up on cables.

Cable management is life.

I will redo them later when I get a video card. Or just burn everything to the ground in a fit of rage.

Very very very light gaming and schoolwork until I buy a video card.

Also sorry there aren't many pictures, most were out of focus so I could upload them but they are terrible quality.

I shall only post the pictures I managed to salvage and or took after on my phone.

Here is my explanation of the title, the wifi card's driver and the card in general broke my windows multiple times, so I am no longer on 8 pro but on 7 after 3 installations. So yeah . . . that is back in the box and an email has been sent.

Anyways, cringeworthy picture time!
