Looks: 8/10, would be much nicer hardline custom watercooled, but that's expensive, it's maybe a little OTT on the gloss white IMHO?

Component choice: 8/10, I would have gone for more storage, and matt white cables (Sort of looks as well)

Overall: 8/10. It's a very nice build, and looks way better than either of mine.

8.8/10

 

4x4 RAM doesn't allow for expansion to 32GB, but 16 is usually enough (0.2 point down)

Water tubing loops strangely, doesn't look great (1 point down)

Yeah I would have liked a custom loop too but I'm only 16 and didn't have the money lol I had to meet a budget otherwise I would have gotten higher quality cables and a better gpu backplate however for my first build I'm pretty satisfied

9/10 for the budget.

Too much white IMO and should have gone for 2 DIMMS instead of 4

10/10 nice build

I know the feeling. I'm 15 and building a full home server network, in addition to trying to stay current with my 2 PCs. I am broke most of the time. Hopefully, Christmas will change this for me.

Psst. Wrong section.

 

Parts: 9/10.

1.Nothing stupid (Yay!). 

2. 4 slots of RAM is fine with me. I get it. It looks better. 16GB should be plenty.

3. Really no need for more storage. What do people even do with a billion hard drives in a personal PC? Hm...

4. Any shot of the open back of the case? Just so we can see the cable management. Looks decent in the front.

 

Aesthetics: 7/10. This is super critical, because I think you can do better. Not to be rude . 

1. Cable extensions seem off-white. Don't know if you can do anything about that... but yknow.

2. SET THE NZXT LOGO TO WHITE. Please. The blue doesn't fit. Unless that's white... Could just be the camera.

3. Can the radiator go the other way? Cable probably looks better that way.

4. It is true that you could go custom loop, but there's no need to. I air cool, looks pretty good IMO. 

5. If you want to take it to the next level, buy a can of spray paint and paint the metal sides of the rad and the top  cooling block. Seems there's a little more black than white. Mostly bc of the PCB of the mobo.

 

Overall: 8.5/10. Feel like you can do better on aesthetics, but you don't have to. Great build overall.

The cables are actually pure white it's just the camera same with the logo Yeah I wanted to get a different motherboard but it was 150 euro more so I couldn't And that is the only way the radiator can go without getting g in the way of the gpu, thanks for the feedback
