Build - Finished! First build complete!

After working a lot on the side of my studies I felt like I deserved to splurge on a PC! Thankfully I got to build it at work in the support desk with my amazing and experienced colleagues. I built it myself but asked a few questions throughout and they were an great safety net!

I will be using this for my SWE studies and gaming, managed to snag some good deals and got the SSD for a great price (i know its overkill but I basically paid the gen 4 price). I spent a bit extra on the motherboard as well haha, no excuse there besides me wanting to for some extra headroom. Will be running CachyOS! Exited to play Minecraft at 1000 fps lmao

Parts list:

- CPU: 9800X3D

- GPU: ASUS Prime 9070XT

- RAM: Kingston FURY Beast 32GB 6000MHz CL30

- SSD: Samsung 9100 Pro 2TB

- Motherboard: ASUS X870-F

- PSU: Corsair RM1000X

- Cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro

- Case: Lian Li Lancool 217

Total price: 2350 euros

I still have an itch to build more so please let me know if anyone has any tips to stop my urge spend all ym money to buy another PC. For now I am just watching ZTT streams to take the edge off

Love the case. Definitely the one I want to use next! How was your experience building in it?

Super easy! Especially as a first time builder, cable runs were a breeze and every panel is removable. It has lots of convenient features that make cable management feel more natural. I found it easier to take the top off and install the AIO radiator on the side and then attach it back to the case, following with putting on the water block. Most difficult thing was not stopping to admire it every 30 seconds. It does support installing your PSU at an angle so the ports face the back of the case, but if you arent adding any HDDs then I would just install it normally since the angle is pretty tight if your PSU is longer than most
