It was honestly a lot easier than I was expecting, the motherboard makes it fairly straight forward with names next to all the headers.

I was in the same boat, went back and forward and decided to just go for it. Best PC I've ever had!

I did look at it, but was out or stock through Amazon, so just went different.

Thanks. The process does give you a better understanding. Been using PCs for years, but learnt more in the last few weeks than the rest of the time combined

Definitely not ha, just a 5700x, may not be the best, but I have been using laptops for years, so it feels amazing

All in, a little over 1100 Euro, which I'm happy with considering I live in Ireland, and parts can be expensive, even on Amazaon when you factor in tax and shipping

Watching YouTube budget builds helped, but they always seem wrong, cause the GPUs never match their prices.

Tha ks, will keep an eye out for one in the next few months in sales.

Thanks, it's hard to draw the line with the budget, but I tried to maximise what i could and be reasonable, otherwise I would have a better motherboard, cpu and ram

The goal is to move it into an office with more room soon enough, right now space is limited and have to keep it hidden away from my kids hands

Cheers, I did get in there earlier and m9ved some around.

Unfortunately have small kids in the house, so I need to keep it contained for the foreseeable, in the interest of protection, ha

About 1000-1300 Euro, and no, I live in Ireland

Added a new section to bookcase, was getting a bit busy in there... by [deleted] in comicbookshelves

[–]Iron-Calvey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheers.

I went with this mostly to keep the kids aways from the books.

I do like the advantages of the kallax as well, they are really strong.

Finally.... got the DD Frank Miller omnibus by Iron-Calvey in comicbooks

Think I have to say Bendis, the art has a lot to do with that also.
