Heya! So I'm planning a new build since my current computer took its last RPMs the morning of March 24th.. (rip) The build is quite simple, black and white colors to get it as clean as possible. I'll order from one of Swedens largest hardware online store and prices will be compared at pricerunner to minimize costs. The use of this will (ofc) be to play ET but also serve as a workstation with dual screens (I've always wanted that). Le Idea Chassi: NXZT H440 or the cheaper NXZT S340. The S340 I'm a bit unsure if the GPU and cooler will fit. MB: Asus Z170-A this I got already CPU: Intel core i5 6600k 3,5Ghz GPU: Asus Geforce GTX 1060 3Gb RAM: Crucial ballistix 16gb white Power supply: EVGA 650 gold fully modular CPU cooler: Deepcool Captain120 Storage: Samsung 128Gb SSD (got this) + another 256Gb SSD Extras: Sleeved NXZT white led cable with Corsair sleeved cables either white or black ones. In need of buying a legit Windows + Office aswell.. sigh.. Price: 1500-1700$ w/o screens. I'll by em second hand If I come across them. No rush. I would say this is something you won't buy every day, but use everyday so, I see it as an investment. Comments and suggestions are much appreciated since I've only built one PC before. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Results ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Le Specs Chassi: NXZT H440 MB: Asus Z170-A CPU: Intel core i5 6600k 3,5Ghz GPU: Asus Geforce GTX 1060 3Gb RAM: HyperX Fury 2400Mhz Power supply: EVGA 650 Gold CPU cooler: Deepcool Captain120ex Storage: Samsung 128Gb SSD Extras: NXZT sleeved led cable white + legit Win10 Costs Right in the feels! Ended up with a total of 1445$ Evaluation It was a fun build with some thoughts into it. I skipped the corsair sleeved white cables, totally unnecessary for 110$. Bought a legit win10 for that instead. Otherwise everything went fine besides some small things explained down here Problems There's always some things that just wont work the way you want it to. I mentioned the CPU cooler, pumphouse hoses faced downwards instead of upwards blocking some of the view. My expectation Maybe there's an easy fix for it, I dunno. Leaving it as it is for the moment. The chassi It came with 3 120mm fans at the front and 1 140mm exhaust at the back with its connections to a fanhub. The fanhub itself lacked support of fancontrol so I therefore had to drag cables to the MB using some extensions instead. I sacrificed 1 sleeved SATA cable from the PS to sleeve my colorful fan extension cable. You can see it between the radiatorfan and my CPU. Airflow. I had no thought what so ever of this when I ordered my PC. It just struck me when I mounted the radiator. H440 has pretty bad airflow options if you want to have the radiator at the like I wanted. Anyhow I now have the 3 at front as intake, rear radiator as exhaust together with 1 140mm exhaust at top. Think it will be enough. What do you think? Final results here Everything worked out beautifully in the end and even on the first start-up. Overall I'm very happy with it Thanks for reading
