My 2nd build ever and first time building on my own. I was happier than a pig in mud when it power on and posted on the first attempt.

My build (nothing fancy, just for some 1080p gaming):

  • AMD Ryzen 7 7700X
  • 32 GB G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5
  • ASRock AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT
  • Gigabyte B650 X AV V2 Motherboard
  • CoolMaster Master Liquid 240L Core ARGB
  • Cosair RM850e Power Supply (850W, Gold)
  • Cosair 3500X Mid Tower Case
  • 2TB PNY XLR8 NVMe Gen4 M.2 Drive*

*Edited: Forgot to add the storage.

      Oh ya the gloves will be nice when doing a teardown.

      It’s nice not having to worry about getting grease or oil on the various connectors!

          Speaking of thermal paste! I actually forgot to purchase some thermal paste, but Cool Master included a nice syringe of thermal paste in the box of the 240L.
