First time ever build - Ryzen mITX - Abomination inside.

[jeffery7466]

Hello all.

 

After much conversing and intelligence gathering, I have finally built my first every PC - my ticket to the master race. I went an ITX build because I want to take it to LAN parties, even though many people have voiced their opinion that master race newborns should not dabble with ITXs.

 

Anyhow, here are the parts:

 

CPU: Ryzen R5 1600

Graphics card: ASUS DUAL GTX 1070 O8G

RAM: 2x8GB Corsiar Vengeance 3200MHz

Storage: 250GB SanDisk Ultra II SSD

Storage: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM HDD

MOBO: Asrock Fata1ity Gaming/ITX AB350

PSU: Corsair SF450

Case: Silverstone SG13

CPU cooler: Noctua - NH-L9x65

Front intake fan: Noctua NF-F12 PWM

Exhaust fan: Fractal design R3 50mm

Monitor: LG23MP68VQ

Keyboard: TurtleBeach Impact 600

Misc:

SFX to ATX power supply adaptor bracket PP08

ASUS SDRW 08D2S-U LITE

Tights, 20 Denier

Corsair CP-8920190 Sleeved SATA Cable, Red/Black

 

 

TAAADDAAA~~~

 

You have no idea how excited and happy I was 

 

Of note: Asrock have 'fixed' their VRM heatsink-thermal pad issue:

 

White GPU, Red/Black mobo, Poo-y CPU cooler... Yea, the colour scheme is all wrong and miss matched. But who cares as long as I like it!

 

It's alive!!!

 

Now time to prep the case:

 

I do like Asrock's IO shield:

 

At this point, I thought cable management will be easy. I mean, there is so much room. What's all the fuss about?

 

Errr getting a bit cosy now...

Note: I had to get a different Corsair's SATA power cable as the one that came with the PSU aren't flat enough. I do like the red and black, and also the fact that its individually sleeved though.

 

ARGHHH cables everywhere! And why do they have to be so stiff??

 

This is the best I can manage. Not bad for a first time builder...?

 

 

And here is the finished product!

 

 

 

 

What's the abomination I hear you ask?

Well.

I used lady's tights as dust filter, and it is SO hard to get right. It ended up looking like this form the inside:

 

Yea...

 

Next up will be benchmarks and my attempts at OC!

Thanks for reading!

Nice. This is pretty much the exact system I will build if I ever get about $1500.

compared to my old SG13 build, this is fantastic

your cable management is excellent considering the tight confines

The whole setup costs £1400. Inc. all peripherals.

It does look like you need an upgrade.
