First Real Custom PC

[Marcus Kemp]

So I just built my first ever computer from scratch I like the hardware choices and I love the way it turned out.

So I have added a few other things like some spray paint and painted some logos and pictures on the side, I added two corsair af 120 fans red led, I added some rando fan that matched them well with red leds, an nzxt hue+, I also added a fan splitter to make a three way extension for the fans I bought. I will be adding a 500 gb WD blue in a couple of days but tell me what you guys think,

Still value in your post. I'm a linux user looking to set up a second HD to boot windows from so I can regain access to the other 4/5ths of my Steam collection and I dont want to spend 200 bucks setting it up.

 

Thanks for the link

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I give a fuck why? I literally could not give two shits about that card. 1 it isn't even out yet. 2 the person I am giving this to doesn't play super hardcore games. 3 the rx 480 is supposed to be prized on its vr performnce and the person I am giving this to doesn't play vr games.
