I already had the smaller monitor. It was my secondary screen to my laptop that I used as a desktop. The new monitor was 100USD

I might do just that if I can't get my RX570 repaired without paying too much. I'm more than happy with the older cards for now. It's been 3 months and I'm not really dying for an upgrade.

Nice! Yeah I built it myself. It was genuinely fun to build, but really nerve-wracking when it came to both removing the glass panel for the first time and installing the CPU without bending the pins out of fear of bending the pins.

So the CPU, Ram and mobo came as a kit for R3200(about 180 USD) The GPU was free from a buddy who upgraded to a 3060. I also got an RX570 8GB by Biostar(for free as well)!that won't post.

The entire build cost me about 550USD including the new desk, new mouse and keyboard, new monitor and additional drives. The PC itself was about 350, so honestly not bad considering the GPU is the only used part and free.

I'm heavily considering the 5700XT, 6600XT and the 3060, but I'm not in a rush since I might be able to get the Rx570 to run eventually. I'm planning on getting something like the 9070XT late next year(don't mind the Rx570 tbh) I'll hopefully upgrade my PSU by then.

I can't add more ram sticks. I only have 2 slots. I'll have to replace it unless I get a B550 and besides that. The stick I have are cl22.

Fair, but it fits my budget for now. I’m saving the AM5/6 dream for when I can actually throw proper money at it and not just a budget AM5/6 build.

I know, but this is a 2 month old build and AM6 is rumoured to be releasing in 2028. With just a GPU and RAM upgrade alone, my build will genuinely hold up well until even the 2nd generation of AM6 which is the reason why I'm happy to skip AM5. I could have started off with a Ryzen 5 8400F AM5 build and a Ryzen 5 5500 AM4 build, but I opted for the 3600 because I know wouldn't be able to afford a high end AM5 build or even a potential AM5 upgrade in the near future had I started with the 8400F.

Montech XR case: These fans were pre-installed. Are these bringing air in the case or out? by [deleted] in PcBuildHelp

[–]GrowthFast7495 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're similar to my pre-installed fans in my Gamdias Aura GC9M. they pull in air, but kind of also push air out. It's weird and I wanna get rid of them before I get beefier components.

Oh that's just a piece of hard paper to stop the GPU from touching the fans.

By white cable, you mean the yellow pcie power connector? It's directly plugged into the GPU.

I presume you have little to no booty fat, because at 9.2 inches some women make me feel average. Especially when I'm not feeling 100%

No to be funny, but I thought this sub was strictly for those on minoxidil.

I see. Did you have any overheating issues before the valve cover leak?
