Description

My first build, which also happened to be finished on my birthday. Runs Overwatch at 144 fps capped on high and 110-140 on Ultra. Can't wait to see what I'll get out of it for Cyberpunk 2077. Not sure if I lost my motherboard’s NVMe screws or if it didn’t come with any, but nevertheless, I had to use a different screw to hold the drive in place. First thing I’m upgrading is the storage, most likely adding a 500gb or 1tb Samsung Evo 860 2.5”.

The SteelSeries Arctic 5 headset is $99.99 on their website. Pcpartpicker was being weird with the prices.

Part Reviews

Memory

Damn do these things look sick.

Case

Case is absolutely great! Comes with air filters and 2 fans, (one rear exhaust and one front) great cable management, and lots of space for extra storage. Decent amount of room in the back, so even if you just cram the cables you’d still be able to fit the back on. The rgb strip and lighting are fantastic, as the magnetic strip fits perfectly to the top of the case where you can’t see the strip itself but still illuminates the case. First time builder, so take this review with a grain of salt, but 5/5. Looks great, functions great.

Monitor

Cant’t beat this thing’s specs for $200. It IS G Sync compatible; you just have to turn Freesync on and off 2 or 3 times to get the “enable G Sync” option on the NVIDIA Control Panel. 27” 144hz 2ms, all for the price point of a good 24”? I’m sold. Bezels are thin, has a slim and non-distracting design unlike the more “gamer-y” monitors, and overall is just a great monitor.

wat kind of a mouse is that?

Logitech G203 Prodigy. It's on the part list, and has worked for me perfectly! Better than the teeny tiny logitech mouse you can get at a Walgreens, which I had been using on a laptop for awhile. Thing didn't even touch my palm.
