I wasn't sure what to post here or how to contribute to the community, but when I got home, I realized I had something to share.
I started working in 2023, and now, after almost 3 years, I finally began building my own PC. Of course, I’ve had other achievements along the way, but this one took time and planning — and it’s still not finished.
I decided to save a bit of money each month, and once I figured out the system I really wanted, I started buying the parts.
PC Specs:
CPU: Ryzen 7 9700X
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Halo White
RAM: 32GB DDR5 XPG Lancer
Motherboard: MSI B650M Gaming Plus Wi-Fi
PC Case: Aigo Arc1 Mini
Power Supply: MSI MAG A850GL
SSD: 1TB Kingston NV3
I also bought a separate kit with 3 Cooler Master fans, but I'm still not sure how to install them properly. The USB 3.0 cable and the PSU cables are getting in the way — they hit the fans when I try to mount them on the right side.
Still missing a few parts, but it’s coming together!
I'm still deciding which GPU to buy — I've been considering between an RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, RX 9600 XT 16GB, or an RTX 5070. And so far, I’ve spent R$6,479 (Brazilian reais).
Drop your specs — what are you gaming on right now?
