A first build for a PC convert

[Tubby_Dug]

Ok so my first build, having been looking at building a PC for months, I drowned my laptop so "had" to get my PC parts. I have been gaming and trying to edit video and photos on a 5 year old dell laptop and it just wasn't cutting it so after many many youtube vids I decided that I could go ahead and build my own PC.

 

Success with it powering up and getting to the BIOS first time and installing windows first time. (not a big achievement to experienced PC user but for me it was)

 

Here it is. 

 

Specs:

AMD Ryzen 5 1600 with stock cooler (for now)

ROG Strix B-350 F 

Asus GTX1060 6GB

Corsair Vengeance LPX 8gb 2400 MHz 

225GB m.2 SATA SSD as my boot drive

x2 2TB HDD for games and the second for media

Corsair TX750M

Asus PCIE Wireless adapter

Corsair Carbide 100R

x2 140mm fans

x3 120mm fans

NZXT Sentry 3 fan controller 

 

Dell U2417

Dell U2414 

 

Peripherals: 

Cougar Ultimus RGB with Cherry MX Brown keys

SteelSeries Rival 700 Gaming Mouse

SteelSeries Siberia 840 Headphones

Xbox one elite controller and a steam controller

Damn! I came expecting some questions about a build, left seeing a very well put together build and a very clean set up.

Paint me impressed.

I even like the peripheral selection which is extremely rare

Very nice. Do you leave the light on behind the monitors on while gaming?

Just a heads up, make sure the bottom of your PC isn't on carpet. The carpet will block the air going into the power supply and cause it to overheat. I have had to replace a bunch of power supplies because of this.

Get some cable ties, and submit your build to TechSource and you could possibly win!

Yeah that is an issue. I check the dust filter under the psu every few days and it is always pretty dusty. I assume just a bit of hard plastic would help a lot?
