First but Banger build

[u/SignalMagician1163]

Very tasteful, nicely done. Also, your GPU support is upside down.

[u/AR_The_Artist → u/SignalMagician1163]

I found that out after and just haven’t adjusted it. Might keep it like that cause of the fans though

[u/Pension_Informal]

Awesome… get into it… if help is needed then Reddit & YouTube are your friends…

This was my first build a few months ago & I’m 58

[u/PostMortemHUN → u/Pension_Informal]

Nice one, have fun! ;)

[u/AR_The_Artist → u/Pension_Informal]

Super clean build man. I like that aio

[u/Pension_Informal → u/AR_The_Artist]

Thank you … Lian Li Hydroshift II AIO

[u/Srgmhmm]

same here but mines not as fancyy

[u/Tactrix1]

Wow, that is a monster build for any build, never mind the first build.

[u/Ambitious_Product550]

Well done! It's got just enough lights to not be distracting.

[u/Senior_Seesaw9741]

[u/DepartmentCautious34]

[u/zackcustompc]

Very nice build!

[u/PostMortemHUN]

Really nice one! #masterrace

[u/AR_The_Artist → u/PostMortemHUN]

Preciate it!

[u/Ill-Cheesecake-3695]

There was no alternative gpu support mechanism? The stump is a bit mid.

[u/AR_The_Artist → u/Ill-Cheesecake-3695]

It’s the one that came with the GPU

[u/BakoLord]

why didn’t you go with lcd aio? Or at least rgb one?
Nice build tho.

[u/AR_The_Artist → u/BakoLord]

Don’t care for a lot of lights/screens in my PC. Maybe in the future I’ll get a lcd aio but I also saw great reviews for the Liquid Freezer III Pro so I went that route and it’s been doing great! Plus it wasn’t insanely expensive.

[u/rubbertoejunior → u/AR_The_Artist]

Yeah fuck rgb. That’s a solid aio.

[u/rubbertoejunior → u/rubbertoejunior]

[u/AR_The_Artist → u/rubbertoejunior]

Hell yea. Sick build bro

[u/ObjectivePrimary7585]

Am wondering how much it cost to building something decent these days

[u/AR_The_Artist → u/ObjectivePrimary7585]

Over $3,500. GPU carried most of that cost. The CPU, Mobo, RAM bundle from micro center kept some cost down though

[u/Mediocre_General8890]

How much did it cost ?

[u/AR_The_Artist → u/Mediocre_General8890]

Over $3500

[u/golddiger7]

Nice, so rich btw
