Building a PC for a birthday

[@J.D_7]

Nice video. Have to ask why did you stick with the stock CPU cooler over the custom? My build last year I got lazy with my 3600x and just used the stock cooler. Temps weren't good and this was stock clocks.

Thank ya. It was a way to save money. Temps wont be an issue for its use for awhile.

@@PCGoblin Ah cool, I thought as much as that was the only logical reason but it was because you already had the custom cooler I wasn't sure. Also the 3600x ran fine, it's just that I might have maintained slightly higher clocks with better thermals. On 5600x now and shipped the 3600x, mobo and RAM for a friend in America as he's out of work. Congratulatiosn with the new home. Wish you and family all the best.

Yeah, bout the cooler, I spaced that it came with one and when I was getting ready to build I saw the one it came with and left it up to my friend. :) That was very nice of you and congrats on grabbing a 5600x. What are you cooling that with? Thank you so much. :)

@@PCGoblin Ah I see, great that he had the choice. Also pretty cool that your video of it actually getting built is on the internet. Thank you, stock was an issue so had to buy a 5600x bundled with an extra motherboard. All the parts were out of stock apart from the M.2, crazy. Cooling it with EK 360mm AIO and so far I'm impressed (my first AIO). It's about the same performance as Artic Liquid Cooler ii 360mm based on Gamer Nexus review of it.

I havent seen anything on the artic cooler, but I reallly love my 360 ek aio. It does a great job.

Why only 8 gb of memory?

To save money and it can be upgraded later if needed. Which at the moment its not.
