This is my second time I build a PC; overall, I use it for gaming, light video editing, browsing the web and watch movies.
Any question, feel free to ask. :)
Part Reviews
CPU
Such a good CPU, it can handle a lot of stuff without any problems.
Thermal Compound
One of the best thermal pastes out there, it helped lowering the temps with the stock cooler.
Motherboard
No complains, it's a good MoBo. Only thing I changed is the wireless card, the realtek was not bad but I purchased an Intel AX200 to have Wi-Fi 6 (Even though I'm always using a wired connection) and Bluetooth 5.1
Memory
Good pair of DIMMs for the price, and if you like RGB, they look fantastic.
Storage
Nothing special about it, it's ok. I have this SSD for a couple of years but I'm using this while I get a good NVMe.
Video Card
I got this GPU back in December last year when there was stock, and prices were good. I'm happy with its performance, I can run most of my games at 1080P with ultra-settings at high frame rates. For those who may be wondering, I haven't had any driver issues. This GPU barely fits my case, I got trouble trying to install it, but I saw based on other people who has this case that I needed to remove the backplate to install the GPU.
Case
Pros: -The layout inside the case. -Such a good air flow for an ITX case (If you pair it with 2 80mm fans). -It has good space to install regular size components, considering its form factor. -You have good options to route your cables on the lower chamber. -Good quality considering its price.
Cons: -Lack of dust filters on the side panels. -The acrylic window in the top panel scratches very easily. -CPU cooler height; you may not be able to install a large tower cooler, but I had seen some towers that could fit this case without modifying it and give good temps. -Lack of noise deadening materials on the panels.
Overall, this is a good case, despite all the cons I mentioned, I recommend this case.
Power Supply
Excellent PSU, it's cool and quiet, very efficient, its length is nice because I can do a better cable management and fully modular.
Case Fan
I used to hear good opinions about Noctua fans, only complain was the brown color, but thank God they had released the chromax black swap. Pretty happy with this fan, moves a lot of air and you can barely hear it working, even at full speed.
Case Fan
Such a good fan, it has good air flow and it's very silent (Considering its size).
Monitor
This is not my monitor but is closest thing as mine, which was not in the list. Mine is the MSI Optix MAG240CR. Image quality is good; the viewing angles are excellent; it supports up to 165Hz without FreeSync working (144 if you enable FreeSync); it has a curvature of 1800R, which for gaming is nice to have it; this monitor has RGB in the back, but you can barely notice it.
Keyboard
Good keyboard, very comfortable and robust. This one has Cherry MX red switches
Mouse
No complains, it's comfortable, solid and the extra keys make it a good choice either for gaming or regular usage.
Speakers
Good pair of speakers, they sound nice and clear considering the price.
