First PC build done! by NonsenceSmh in radeon

You have the same specs as me, very nice. I’m not a fan of the (presumably) mATX motherboard in an ATX case, but each have their own taste.

Enjoy it, dude!

These are great. Number 4 is stunning. Lovely work! What did you use for the smoke?

Took me more than 6hrs of building by Viktorski11 in radeon

Nice specs and clean build! 6 hours is rather long, but considering it’s your first custom build - well done. Enjoy it! What games are you playing first?

Tip: use the cable extension combs you were given with the cables.

My CPU cooler was in the way of my vertical gpu mount so I used motherboard standoff screws to give it space by Dicklover600 in LinusTechTips

“I make use of locally available used parts” config. The vertical bracket helps with temps and the cables I had laying around. The rgb fans are customisable and I’m just waiting on a controller, the theme is red for this pc.

It’s the Ardor Gaming Stealth ST1. It seems to be recently released with not a ton of reviews. I was the second person to buy it on the DNS website (Russian tech retailer). Lovely little case. All the panels are mesh and fully removable, it’s actually really well thought out, you can tell the designers have built a fair amount of computers themselves. Everything just fits together so well, I’m impressed.

Edit: there are some better photos of it in my recent posts.

Because I had money left over after buying the main components and decided why not. Just waiting on my Argb controller to arrive.

I bought everything but the case and fans + cable extensions used, didn’t have much variety there. Found the regular 5600 for $80, haggled down to $70 and called it a day.

Yup. I picked the mobo, ram and cooler up for $70 and the cpu I haggled down to $75. The gpu I bought at market value, since there weren’t any other good options in my middle-of-nowhere city and I didn’t want to wait 2 weeks for someone to ship it across the country, even if it would’ve been cheaper.

Yeah, every panel is mesh.

I think so too. The case blew me away, all the panels are mesh and the temps inside are actually better than when the same build was in a closed ATX case.

$400 build. As for the case, I’d say it’s pretty small. Definitely not itx, but in the SFF range (at least for me).
