If you enjoyed doing your first build, you obviously didn't cable manage properly.

It was amazing knowing that I'm one of the few people I know that is able to do build a PC. It posted first time I turned it on and might of scared my dad several times, especially with the CPU pins crunching.

Was the most amazing feeling ever, especially after thinking I killed something by accident but it turned on.

So true, my cable management is a bit horrendous since it's my first PC build, but it was better than I expected but far worse than anybody else who has done it for a long time.

It wasnt really anything special tbh it was kind of a pain. mostly because i had some issues but once it was running it was like christmas for a spoiled 3 year old. they didnt get all that they wished for but still got a lot. Since i dont have a gpu yet i cant play nearly as many games as i had hoped but the gpu is on its way so it should be better soon

It was Flamin' awesome, but my anxiety levels go through the roof every time as the suspense of "will it work or will i have to send parts back" kicks in.

 

I think the best part of any build is when the parts are delivered and you have all those new unopened boxes on your table.

It was awesome. Putting pressure on the CPU while installing it WAS THE SCARIEST SHIT EVER.
