hi Carbonite friends/family.
Been on here for a little over a year now and finally had the financial ability to build a starting pc for myself. Was lucky enough to have bought a CPU off Aucor a while ago and was stressing a bit if it works or not and over the weekend i got very lucky with a 2nd hand pc that only required a CPU. So with some luck, i picked up the pc on Sunday and had it working on Sunday afternoon. Everything below, except for the CPU was purchased from the same buyer.
Specs:
I7 9700 3ghz CPU
Asus Rox Strix Z370-H motherboard
8gb Ballistix 2400mhz ram x 1 off (will look for another one)
4gb Samsung 2400mhz ram
Has a 128gb NVme. (going to be honest, this is very new for me, so would appreciate some advice on this in terms of how it works and if i should go for a bigger one and how to use it to its full potential. Currently have my OS on it)
128gb SSD hdd, but will upgrade later and add another normal HDD
Antec NX110 box, which will also be replaced at a later stage.
400W power supply.
Things I’d Like to upgrade in the future.
Add another 8gb ram to match the one I have. Maybe look at going 2x 8gb 3200mHz ram
Bigger power supply.
GPU of course, as i do not currently have one
Another case perhaps, but not now.
Better cooler system for it. Would air cooling be fine and if so any recommendations or would liquid cooling be better?
I have looked at a one fan liquid cooling CPU system, which would be quite nice perhaps.
I guess we all have to start somewhere right😅
If someone has some recommendations on what to do regarding adding more fans etc, please feel free to let me know, would love some input from people with a more knowledge than i have.
