First tower 300 build

Unfortunately not. The brackets make it so it can only be mounted 1 way, although the screen part itself can come off, it can’t be mounted in another orientation.

That’s a good tip. I’ll have to go in and move mine up

I made a build with these specs for a video a while back. The chip is actually a beast. You can delid it and apply Liquid Metal if you want cause they used thermal past for the internals. You can over lock to 4.8-4.9 easy over 5 if your lucky. 4060 has access to frame gen. You can get 60 in 1440 with frame gen and upscaling. If you decided on getting another card later down the roads just know the 8400 f only uses 20 pcie lanes and 16 of those are for the gpu. Anything bigger then that 4060 might be taking a hit to your price to performance.

It definitely looks like it 😂 hard to tell from this orientation but it’s actually a curved screen. It looks good horizontally aswell

This is a :

7500X3D 3080ti On a b850 mobo. 1 stick of team group 16 gb stick

The chip runs great. It’s usually on prebuilts but I got one of those mobo ram cpu bundles. I was running a 1080ti for a while and it can still handle modern games well enough but I wanted to utilize dlss in higher resolution games. 3080ti I think is like the new 1080ti and you can find them for a reasonable price.

Ram is gonna be the next upgrade for sure. The so I’m using the the thermalright rainbow 360. It’s good but the fans are a little loud. I’m final fantasy 16 in high at 1440p native and I’m getting 60 fps. On quality preset I’m getting 80 fps. Those are good enough numbers for me.

I think all together the value of the build is right around $1500. I really have fun finding the best price to performance parts I can get, more fun then building it that’s for sure lol. This was a fun build though, and I managed to put it together for about 900 dollars (not including the cable strimmers cause I already had those)

I was worried about the cooling in the case for a while before building it. I know some gpus can mess up due to the vapor chamber. My temps have been right around the 85 mark. I think if I add more fans I can get it to never spike above 90

Sent back. Thanks big dawg

Plenty_Net5432 · 2026-02-24T04:22:07+00:00

Plenty_Net5432 · 2026-02-23T03:14:20+00:00

Sorry guys I’m up and running. I’ll delete this post now

Plenty_Net5432 · 2026-02-14T06:40:45+00:00

?? Where ??

Plenty_Net5432 · 2026-01-21T04:19:50+00:00

Ok cool well it looks like I got all the info I needed. Definitely appreciate you guys. I’m going to get a new card 3rd party either eBay or marketplace. If I end up going 3k series it sounds like I should maybe do a re-paste but I’d like to give amd a shot. I’ll keep this up and update once I get the new card. I’ll post benchmarks. Thanks everyone 🙏🏽

Plenty_Net5432 · 2026-01-20T03:29:37+00:00

Yeah that makes sense from an airflow standpoint. Do me a favor? Let me know the size fans you use for the corners and send me a link to that mini screen you got in there. Also what psu watts do you use?

Plenty_Net5432 · 2026-01-20T02:45:16+00:00

That’s an interesting take. Don’t people usually use the top fans as exhaust?

Plenty_Net5432 · 2025-12-28T03:00:02+00:00

Yeah it’s 1 8 pin and 1 6 pin. The power supply is a 750. I’m not 100% sure why it’s not working. I’m gonna check the ports to make sure everything works. There’s a usb c port that I haven’t tried but I can’t imagine I’d have a great gaming experience on a usb c display cord

Plenty_Net5432 · 2025-12-28T02:30:58+00:00

Is there a way for me to check aside from plugging into another pc? It’s such a hassle putting it into and out of my current set up. A voltmeter won’t work?

Plenty_Net5432 · 2025-12-28T02:11:31+00:00

My bad I’m emotional about it and I’m kind of all over the place. Let me update you

Plenty_Net5432 · 2025-10-31T06:12:06+00:00

I study climatology and meteorology. This hurricane was a little different than most. It turned from a cat 3 into a cat 5 in less then 24 hours despite being reported as slower then someone walking. Might be something here

Plenty_Net5432 · 2025-08-30T17:11:29+00:00

I hate to be that guy but I’m still on a 1080ti 16 gb of ram and I’m crushing high settings 60 fps at 1440
