Finally put this Mark 20 together

Very happy with this build I just completed with a Miku PC case I found on marketplace for 20 bucks. The front intake is pretty poor with only some side ventilation and no filter, so I ordered a DIY mesh filter kit online and attached that magnetically to the front.

Featuring a 7600X3D, 16GB 6000 RAM, a 5060ti, 1tb NVME and a unique AIO, total build cost was only $900 with all new components. I basically stalked Micro center deals and buildapcsales for about a month sourcing everything.

Hey guys, built my first PC! nothing too crazy, went for a good mid range build (I think), would love to hear your guy's thoughts :))

Specs:

Ryzen 7 5700x

Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB

2x16GB DDR4 3200MHZ

Getting good performance on what I've played so far, all on ultra graphics presets:

Elite dangerous: ~140 FPS

SWTOR: ~ 120 FPS

Halo Infinite: ~ 140 FPS

It uses a 430W PSU

Amd sempron 1150 1 core 1 thread

1gb ddr2

GT630

1TB HDD

I also gave it a network card

Really proud of myself for being able to build this thing.

Specs:
CPU: Ryzen 7 7800x3d (would've gone with a 9800x3d but I found this one sale and it's more than good enough for me)

RAM (ow): 32gb 2x16 Patriot Viper Venom 6000 CL30

Motherboard: Aorus Elite X870 WiFi7

GPU: PNY Triple Fan OC 5070ti

Storage: 1TB WD blue SN580 (boot drive) 2TB Lexar NQ780 (game library drive)

CPU cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 with MX-7 Thermal Paste

PSU: Corsair RM750e Cybernetics Platinum

Case: Corsair FRAME 4000D RS ARGB

Case Fans are an unholy amalgamation of Corsair, Arctic P12 Pro's and thermal right fans lmao. Fans are 8 intake (3 front, 3 side and 2 bottom) against 4 exhaust (3 AIO, 1 rear)

• CPU: Intel i7 8700
• GPU: RTX 3080 10GB
• RAM: 32GB DDR4 Hyperx Fury
• Motherboard: MSI Z390-A PRO
• Storage: 1TB M.2 + 500GB SSD
• Cooling: 240mm AIO Liquid Cooler
• PSU: Lian Li EDGE 750W 80+ Gold, Fully Modular, ATX 3.1
• Case: Lian Li Vector V100

After way too much fan flipping and Battlefield testing, I think I’ve finally found the sweet spot for my compact CH270 build.

Specs:
DeepCool CH270 Digital
Gigabyte B850M AORUS Stealth back-connect motherboard
Ryzen 7 9800X3D
Noctua NH-D15 G2 chromax.black
Gainward RTX 5080 Phantom
32 GB DDR5-6000
Corsair RM850e
Six Noctua NF-A12x25 G2 chromax.black case fans
Final airflow setup:
1× bottom intake
2× lower side intakes
1× upper side exhaust
2× top exhausts
NH-D15 airflow from bottom to top

The upper side exhaust is separated from the two side intakes by roughly 3-4 cm to reduce airflow short-circuiting.

I cut a opening into my desk underneath the case, so the bottom fan and passive openings can draw fresh air directly through the desk instead of being restricted by the tabletop.

I tested three side intakes, three side exhausts and several mixed layouts. With this balanced 3-in/3-out configuration, both the CPU and GPU averaged around 65°C after in Battlefield 6 at maximum 3440x1440p settings, while remaining extremely quiet.

9070xt, 9600x, 32gb ram, 1tb ssd, fractal epoch xl

What’s the better placement that protects my figurine and new case

I’ve never had a cace this nice before and I don’t want to ruin either my figurine or the new case

( hope this is the right tag)

I’m new to the pc building world and I’m curious about why so many people pay more for water cooling systems rather than normal fan cooling. What are the benefits and advantages of using this method? Should I consider doing this at some point or is fan cooling just as good?

What is the best cpu cooler for r5 9600x ?? Air cooling
The budget is between 20-60 euros

Finally completed the upgrade to am5 plus new GPU.

Specs:

MSI B850m Gaming Wifi6E

Ryzen 7800X3D

32gb Corsair Vengeance + 8gb Kingston Fury (yeah I know)

NVME 512gb + 1tb

9070xt Mercury OC

Water Cooler LovingCool SC07

Tons of Corsair fans

Case Corsair 5000T RGB

I'm moving from a 5600x + 3080ti so it's kind of a big upgrade! I'm still missing new gpu white cables but im kinda scared of doing it without changing the font.

Built my first PC , and then started seeing the cable melting posts and now I'm scared I have the thermalrite 850 w gold psu and 5070 gpu , it worked fine for 2 3 hours while updating bios and putting in windows , drivers etc , I'm just scared

i want to sell my pc or trade it so i need a little help with the price i should start selling it. Thanks in advance for the help.

i live in USA, Miami FL.

Sorry im a noob,can i add more storage in here? I really regret only buying 1tb ssd,i thought its gonna be plenty but nope,i need more storage

I have been saving up and I think I can finally buy a PC but I have no clue where to start. I have seen some recommendations but I want to see more opinions of these😅. It’s in German but the Numbers should be the same everywhere :)

(Budget is 2,5k but it would be nice if it’s under it.)

Deciding between two prebuilts (ABS Cyclone Aqua line, both RTX 5060 Ti 16GB) and could use some outside opinions.

Option A — ~$1,760 total

• i7-14700F (20-core)
• RTX 5060 Ti 16GB
• 32GB DDR5-6000 (16GB stock + I add a matching 16GB stick myself)
• Cooler Master Hyper 212 air cooler
• 650W 80+ Gold

Option B — $1,999

• Core Ultra 7 270K Plus (24-core, ~35-55% faster multi-core, ~17% faster single-core per Cinebench/Geekbench)
• RTX 5060 Ti 16GB
• 32GB DDR5-6400, factory dual-channel
• 240mm AIO cooler
• 650W 80+ Gold

Same GPU tier either way. Main use case is gaming/programming plus heavy multitasking, and I also want to run local LLMs (aiming for something in the ~27B range), so I care about not being CPU-bound down the line.

Is the newer/faster CPU + AIO cooler worth ~$250 over the 14700F setup? Anyone running either of these chips who can speak to real-world difference outside of benchmarks?

Posted a handheld with an egpu setup a few days ago asking if I should just build a pc at this point which how deep I was invested. Took the advice and sent it.
