Small showcase post of my custom build. Parts obtained in what I'd call "unorthodox" ways (nothing illegal). Total build cost, around $1,400 effectively.

- 9800X3D

- PNY 5080 (925@3000+1500 daily profile, around 8900 Steel Nomad)

- Thermaltake ToughRAM 32 GB CL30 6000mHz manually timed

- IDK like 20TB+ of SSD (NVMe + SATA) storage (yes, I need that much)

- Some Thermaright AIO with a display that I barely look at but it was on sale and is quiet and I can put my wife's face on it

- No name fishtank

- No name (Dark Flash?) ARGB fans connected to a fan hub with a controller because I'm allergic to bloatware

- 2B. Because 2B.

A human sits here (Moonlights into mostly these days). Won't get a lot of likes because it's not an Instagram build. But it's mine and I love it.

I bought the gaming keyboard from scarp market in just $3 around 280 INR. I cleaned the keyboard with petrol & diesel and washed the keys . And removed the keycap with the help of spoon at home. It is working fine like a brand new keyboard.

I built my first PC for $1100.00 in August of 2026. I got lucky…

I picked up a prebuilt cyberpower on Facebook Marketplace for $180.00. It was an ET8880 with an R3 4100, gtx 1650, 8gb of ram and a 500gb SSD.

Same day I scored on an Omen 30L that wouldn’t post for $200.00. Turned out to be a motherboard issue. Stripped the parts for upgrade.
(R7 5800x, 3060ti, 16gb of HyperX DDR4, 1TB SSD)

Threw that all together with a Cooler Master Core 240MM AIO, and 3 new Artic P12 Case Fans.

Finally, a close friend of mine mentioned he had an extra 5070ti that he would sell me for…. $500.00. Lightly used.

I bought it immediately as well as an MSI MAG A850GL
PSU.

It’s been running great and feels awesome to finally game on PC!

Gamdias GC9M Aura Build

46 Upvotes

Tried the Gamdias GC9M for a client recently and it turned out great. For the price, I was genuinely impressed with the case.

Airflow has been solid and the finished system looked much more expensive than what the case actually costs. The glass and overall layout really show off the components and RGB nicely.

Client was extremely happy with how the build turned out and I haven’t heard a single complaint about thermals or anything else since.

Definitely a case I’d use again for another build. Great option if you want something that stands out for it's compact size without paying the mini ITX tax.

Is this build good to hold me off for a couple years for making vids, streaming, and gaming on heavy games?

Best RGBIC Led for PC?

Post image
13 Upvotes

Hello, can anyone recommend RGBIC for my PC? I don't like RGB fans inside because that's too much for me, so I'd like to have understated lighting from above and below.

Edit: I chose the Corsair LS430 because it fits perfectly into my case. Pictures are available after the installation 😁.

My first desktop pc in 26 years

Post image
17 Upvotes

Last time I was given a desktop was in 1999, when I was 5 years old. It was a IBM. My family subsequently used laptops. Today I got my first desktop pc in 26 years. I’m really happy about it. While I like laptops, the fans are loud and they often overheat. My last laptop I bought was in 2023. I got it for 250 bucks on Amazon. I really needed something to get work done so I didn’t think of gaming. It had 4 gbs or ram and no dedicated gpu. I couldn’t play any games on it. I am really eager to explore new games on this pc. I’m really happy with my purchase.
