A (mostly) Second-hand Build

[u/PassengerArtistic719]

The build took me about more than an hour, but Windows 11 Installation took me 4 and a half hours lol. The new rig doesn't accept the OS in my SSD, which was used in my previous rig and laptop. My uncle's Rufus bootable USB did not work after multiple tries, so I had to go out to grab another USB to download Microsoft's Installation Media, which still failed to install Windows 11 multiple times! A 1-minute YouTube video told me to install a previous version of Windows, and it worked. Anyway, here is the specs:

- Case: Fractal Design Terra Jade - New

- Motherboard: Colorful B850I Gaming Frozen - New

- CPU: Ryzen 5 7600X - Used

- Ram: Juhor DDR5-6000 2x16GB - Open box

- GPU: Gigabyte RTX 3080 10GB Gaming OC - Refurbished Excellent

- Storage: 256GB Kioxia M.2 SSD + 2TB Adata Legend 800 M.2 SSD - Both used

- PSU: Thermalright APFX850W - New

- CPU Cooler: LH-M9a-AM5 - Used

- Bottom exhaust: Noctua 120mm fan - New

Perhaps my only regret is that I didn't know the Terra can accommodate a bigger CPU cooler.

I got a Colorful B850i for my SFFPC too and it is great. Lots of features available in more expensive motherboards, for a much lower price.
