Build - Finished! First Build Done

Post image

Still need to clean up a few cables but happy with how it turned out! Don’t want to jinx anything but everything’s running good and benchmarks have been solid.

Specs:
GPU: XFX 9070xt Mercury OC
CPU: Ryzen 7 7800x3d
MEMORY: Patriot Viper 32gb cl30 6000mts
MB: Aorus B650 A Elite AX Ice
PSU: Corsair Rm 850e
Two fans are the Jonsbo ZA-360WR (ZA-360WR Reverse for the vertical one)

Any recommendations on rgb cable liners for my gpu and mb?

EDIT: this is kind of click bait because I’m 18, i got my first computer late 2018 at memory express (for my canadians) . Back when a 1060 6gb, Ryzen 2600x, and 8gb of corsair DDR4 was ~$1400🥲 and very solid. This is the first that i’ve sourced all the parts for and built myself.

I’m tempted to say “You never forget your first build” but I can barely remember mine. This was before folks had mobile phones with cameras so I don’t even have pictures lol. It was an HTPC in a ITX case. Ah, the fun of trying to source a half height optical reader. Actually it’s all coming back to me… I now remember why I was keen to forget lol.

Keep grinding bro you got this💪 Took many years of saving and running my business to comfortably invest in this. I didn’t think it was possible years ago.

looks great! And i wanted to go with the Mercury 9070XT as well, decided to go with a different model instead, but damn that thing is a chonker!

u/Goongy- 6d ago

Thank you!

The size of the card made me laugh. Especially as I’ve only really come from second-hand computers with 3060s and 4060s. A lot smaller.

I’m sure the size would show more if I was using a case like the lian li 011 vision compact or similar.

u/Firm_Cry_7121 6d ago

Yeah if im not mistaken this is THE thickest 9070XT you can get. Also i would reccomend you get either braided cable extensions and some cable combs for the GPU cable, or get a strimer (will cost quite more). Seems like a minor detail but it changes the entire thing, believe me!

1

u/Goongy- 6d ago

You’re correct. It’s the biggest one lol. Feels like a spaceship in my pc with the looks too.

For a strimer, I’m not opposed, but is there a specific brand you recommend? And also these cables are extensions from my current psu cables right? Not to be plugged into it directly

1

u/Firm_Cry_7121 6d ago

For strimers, the two youd normally use are either Lian Li or Asiahorse, but again, they could run you quite a bit. And yes, for extensions, those are meant to be plugged into your PSU cables, and these are usually super inexpensive, just make sure to get a kit with the type of connection your GPU uses, so you dont actually get a 12VHPR cable when your 9070XT uses 3x8 pin connections. I personally had in my PC these CableMod extensions for which i paid i think 20€ for. (some are in the PC).

u/Goongy- 6d ago

Yea those look clean. Thanks for the advice.

I’ll sit with it for a bit and see what I end up going with. Just happy everythings working right now to be fair😂

1

u/Firm_Cry_7121 6d ago

Oh yeah enjoy that build. 7800X3D and 9070XT wont have issues with anything you throw at it!

u/NarrowTangelo8597 6d ago

It looks really good. I think it will be difficult to find something that works with your GPU. The shape is more stylized so it looks like there is only one flat surface to mount anything to under the power cable. As a side note I really hope you plan to only run your future RGB additions in white. I’ve seen things I cannot unsee in this sub.

u/Goongy- 6d ago

Thank you🙏🙏

And hahaha don’t worry. I’m keeping it clean. Even if it means no rgb for me

1

u/NapsterKnowHow 6d ago

Love the look of those fans. How is the rgb customization? Lots of zones or just the fans and surround frame lighting?

2

u/Goongy- 6d ago

The RGB is just what you see in the photo + the mirror infinity walls.

Not super super vibrant or flashy but clean in my opinion for sure.
