Popular Post FireWienie Posted July 30, 2017 Popular Post Posted July 30, 2017 After a few hours of not-so-hard work and thinking I f***ed up, my PC build has officially launched, and working perfectly! I can't explain how happy I am that I now have a modern computer that will allow me to actually do productive work and gaming. My whole life I was unable to afford an actual computer, looking for refurbished hardware was the only way I was able to buy my own computer, but finally, after a long time, my new PC is done! Specs CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 3.2 GHz MOBO: Asus - PRIME B350 - Plus RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 8 GB (4 x 2) DDR4 - 3000 HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200 RPM SSD: None at the moment, will be buying it in the future Video Card: EVGA - Geforce 1060 6gb SC Case: NZXT S340 Elite (wanted to get the original, but local store was sold out and there were no deals with Amazon Prime) Power Supply: EVGA - 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply I also want to thank everyone who has helped me pick out the parts! Ignore the bigass connected to the graphics card, will fix it soon. Sorry for the bad picture quality :/ . When I finished the computer, I thought I f***ed up somewhere (the LED strips would not turn on and my monitor was not detecting any signal), turns out I needed to turn on the strips using the controller first, and the monitor needed to be connected to the graphics card, not the mobo. The goal is to have a theme of black hardware with white LEDs (except the chassy). I've just ordered a pretty nice and cheap RGB keyboard to add to the theme. It's not here yet but will be coming around Monday or Tuesday. I'll update the post with pictures including the keyboard if you guys would like to see it. This is the controller: It changes the LED strip colours. Example (Red): More Pics: That's all for now. The monitor is great but unfortunately it is my older brothers and I'm using it temporarily until I get a new monitor or a VGA to HDMI cable. If you guys have any questions, feel free to ask 10 Quote

FireWienie Posted July 30, 2017 Author Posted July 30, 2017 man u have done a great job and dam it looks so great with white theme. Great job. and nice headphone holders and cable connections are clean. great job . Thanks so much! The funny thing is that holder is actually meant for VR headsets, according to NZXT (it comes with the case). I don't really have a VR headset and don't plan on getting one at all so I thought, "Why not just use this to hold my headphones". 1 Quote

And of course if you have any issues with drivers etc I'm sure we can all help! Actually had trouble with the Wifi and LAN, as for some reason they would randomly disconnect. Turned out the drivers and bios needed an update, now everything seems fine! Glad my favorite Hot Dog is back Glad I'm the hot dog you chose ^^. I'll be sure to download ET soon, as for now I'm installing software I need and other larger games (I'm trying to download games with a larger file first, then the smaller ones. Since my internet is slow, I usually leave a download overnight to finish). I'll be back in-game in about a week, can't wait to see everyone there 1 Quote
