You fucked up. Cables are supposed to be all over the place.

Ah hell, I knew something was off.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

It looks good! Nice and clean cabling.

Appreciate it!

Did it end up cheaper than a pre-built?

Where's the thread where you got all the advice? I'd be curious to see that. Thank you!

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

It was about $850, plus some to replace some cables. The prebuilts I saw in the same price range were a lot weaker. I also got lucky with prime day, got to upgrade a few parts for the same price.

Here’s the thread: https://lemmy.one/post/876670

Oh my bad, I see it's in that thread. I'm reading it now. Thank you!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Oh, very cool, thanks. Does that thread have all the specs of your new PC? I'd be curious what you got for 850. I travel a lot and got a gaming laptop a few years ago but I am curious what gaming PCs you can build from under a thousand these days

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Congrats that's a great build for 850$. Remind me of my first build in 2013 and I only just replaced that.

Nice looking build! What are the specs?

Here’s the build:

Prime day got me a few upgrades from my initial build.

Thanks. Have wanted to do it since I was a kid

Well done. What part did you find to be the hardest?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

The hardest part for me honestly was trying to figure out how to get the heat sink back on the m2 after I installed the ssd lol. Took me an hour before I realized there was an extra screw.

Also took me another hour trying to figure out how to install the motherboard in the case. I finally realized that the case had some standoffs in a baggie tucked away in the psu compartment.

I should have taken the advice I read not to start at 9 PM lol.

Very nice, looks clean without any unnecessary fancy overpriced parts. Great to see builds where usability matters than esthetic. Enjoy it!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

lookin good! Congrats!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Dude, that looks clean!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Congratulations! Build looks clean and professionally done. If I hadn't seen your original post, I wouldn't have known that this is your first time. Happy gaming!
