That PC is clean 🔥 nice job.

[@jrmyquartararo90]

the tiny screw on the front ssd slot has to be removed, that screw/nut thing holds the nvme into the slot and allows another screw for the black heatsink to be screwed into, 990 pro is a gen4 ssd, only the slot at the front is gen 4 the one at the back is gen 3, which basically cuts performance by alot

[@MangosMelons]

That was my first case. Good choice

[@phatbunda2323]

amazing build! my only thing is that you got rgb fans yet you cant even see two of them! unless you didn't and im just imagining it.

[@PeytonToenjes]

I did get 4 rgb fans, yes I cant really see the 2 front fans when im sitting at my desk, but the light from them still light up the inside of the pc a decent amount so I don't feel like I wasted my money!

[@dukoo81]

I get the price, the videocard and case and psu are the expensive parts and these loose fans are not cheap also. its a perfect price for a build like this, now one month further you could have go for an am5 kit like this for the same kind of money but that is now, and that was then, so still an awesome build.

It surprisingly has really good airflow. On the side and bottom of the front panel, there are vents so the front fans can pull in air. And for exhaust, the back and top also have vents! My gpus max temperature at full load has only gotten to 72c, and cpu 70c

[@PeytonToenjes]

[@Javysayajin]

Everything is fine. It looks great. What I don't understand is why you chose the ryzen 3600, you added 20dls more and you could choose the 500 which is more modern. I think that instead of buying those 29dls fans, you could have bought from another brand that was cheaper but not for that reason of lower quality and got a better processor. And you could buy windows on those pages where they sell them for 15dls and if they are valid, original and have no problems (just in case you change the mother board and possibly lose that license), why spend 110dls on windows? Did you buy it all in one payment? Or did you buy things over time?

Just a quick tip bout ur mobo and ssd u shouldve checked if ur motherboard can utilize the MB/s of ur ssd because now u have a fast ssd but ur mobo cant fully use the ssd speed

[@PeytonToenjes]

That is a good idea that I never thought of. Though I did just try to find the max ssd speed for my mobo on Pcpartpicker and couldn't find it... I also only really had 2 options for a mini itx mobo, and one of the 2 was out of stock :/ EDIT - nvm I found it, it supports 6560 mb/s, and my ssd can do 7450. That sucks but I'm fine with it, 6560 is still crazy fast, and I didn't really have a better option anyway. Thank you for pointing that out, though!

[@thescoffe]

@@PeytonToenjes your mobo cant actually support the speed of the SSD. Your SSD is a PCIe 4.0 SSD, but the slot on the back (where you installed the SSD) is only PCIe 3.0, which limits it to about ~3500. I know this cause I have the slightly worse version, 980 pro, and its in a 3.0 slot and its limited to around ~3500.

Nope, not at all. Surprisingly, at least for me, this cases airflow is great!

Otherwise, I haven't had any overheating issues or anything close to it! I hope this helps!

@Javier Reyes I didn't really have a budget, so saving on one part and spending on another doesn't really apply to this. I just bought what would go good together and would let me do everything I wanted. Pcpartpicker said my mobo wasn't compatible since it needed a bios update that I didn't know about. The 3600 is good enough anyway. I went with the 3060 because it actually fits in my mini tix case and is great. I also much prefer Nvidia for their reliability, the raytracing, and I'm just more knowledgeable about their gpus
