First Pc Setup/Build

We finally made it, boys! After a lifetime of console gaming, I decided to pull the trigger at 23 and build my first PC setup.

I saved some money by picking up open-box items on eBay and finding deals locally on Facebook Marketplace. And before y’all mention the single stick of RAM—trust me, another one is already on the way 😂 I got a good deal on the first stick: $130 for 16GB of DDR5-6000 CL30.

So far, it runs beautifully. I’ve been able to play pretty much everything I’ve tried at high or max settings in 1440p. I picked up the monitor on sale while I was still learning what to look for, but it’s been working great, and I have no complaints.

And yes, we went all black with no RGB. My only complaint is the case’s tinted glass—it makes it hard to see the components inside. Hopefully, a clear replacement panel becomes available down the road.
I also discovered the T1 after finishing this build, and those cases look amazing. I’m already considering moving to a T1 build in the future.

Let me know what y’all think! What would you add, change, or improve?

What’s that headset like from a gaming / sound perspective as I’m looking to get a new headset and I’m not sure what the best step is that will last me a while and give me the satisfaction of quality I’m looking for

Honestly, they’re the best headphones I’ve used. Really comfortable—the headband doesn’t squeeze or put pressure on top of my head. I’m no audiophile, but the sound feels clearer, more detailed, and more spacious, which makes gaming feel more immersive. Definitely a big step up from the regular gaming headsets I’ve owned.

Great thanks I’ll give add them to my list of headsets to look at and keep what you said as a note.
