When I was your age we had to build the processor with hammers and nails, kids these days all using prefabs, makes me sick.

    I remember when the parts took up the whole space in the case. Now I see people with aquarium sized cases, but the computer is just this tiny little square in the corner taking up 1/1000th of the space in the case.

    Computers these days generate a lot more heat, so when you build them too tight you get thermal throttling and other issues. And lets not forget how video cards keep getting bigger and bigger, like we’re heading back to room-sized mainframe days.

    When i was young and build my first pc's i would always use just whatever cases i got from my friend who worked in IT. It was mainly these beighe/white hige ass server towers. So seeing these builds makes me kind of nostalgic. Some 15 years ago i was obsessed with building the smallest most powerful pc's i could. There was often no room for anything and it was quite satisfying. Now i don't even know anymore. I think i build a fishtank again.

    Congrats! Did you run into any issues? Did you make sure your monitor is plugged into the GPU and set the refresh rate in display settings? Did you enable XMP and reBAR and configure fan profiles in BIOS?

    Looks super clean!

    That feeling when you turn it on for the very first time is a sensation unlike any other. Also the last screw to be screwed in/or component to be placed lol.

    That looks nice for your first build. I was browsing the comments but it was yet to be brought up, so here it goes.

    Whenever you can, and if your PSU has available slot, try and use another PCIE cable going from your power supply to your RX 7700 XT. A single cable powering it might be fine for now but it can be taxing to the cable once you overclock or really pushing the GPU to the limit.

    Nonetheless, great job dude.

    Noyce cable management and specs, I built PC's for 30 years...you sure this was your first build? jk.

    I bought the same cooler couple of weeks ago without the rgb, best choice budget cooler imo. Got it cooling a 7800x3d real good.

    Good job! I've been looking for that GPU for a while but can't get one at a price that makes sense. Enjoy gaming!
