Building New Computer!

[Scorpion Ghost]

Recently I made a thread here about buying a new computer - https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/buying-new-computer-thoughts.1189880/

Well, I bought everything and it all arrived, and now it's the time to get my hands dirty.

---

What we're working with:

Box - MS Industrial Spider

SSD - ADATA ASX8200PNP-256GT-C

CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, 3.7 GHz (4.3 GHz), 8 Cores/16 Threads, 16MB L3 Cache, 12nm, 105W, Wraith Prism with RGB LED, Socket AM4

RAM - Kingston DDR4 32GB (2x16GB kit) 3200MHz HX432C16FB3K2/32 HyperX Fury Black

Motherboard - ASROCK B450 Steel Legend

GPU - Asus Strix R9-380 4GB

PSU - Chieftec ELP-600S 600W

---

Everything is brand new, only the GPU is second hand. But the guy that sold it to me is reliable, so I'm confident the GPU will work fine.

Ok. The moment I've been waiting for. Wish me luck.

Let's do this thing fellers!

Happy to hear buddy! Nice addition.

Okay. I mounted the power supply. Tightly screwed, but not too tight. Like you know, about 97% tight

Ok. I guess the motherboard goes next...

Great specs. What are you going to do with this giant?

My recommendation is that you put everything into motherboard outside of the case and test that motherboard boots up without any problems. After you confirm this you can install everything into the case.

R9 GPU will cost you a lot of electric. Use nvdia 1060 instead

Open Firefox, surf the web

I probably should, but sometimes I'm like a donkey. I only know 1 road to my destination. And in this case that means installing things and testing once it's all nice and tightly screwed

It's over now bro. But it doesn't matter, electricity is cheap in my country.

Total costs?

 

[Scorpion Ghost]

Total costs?

About $900 as is. But I'll probably shell out another $100 or $200 to add 16GB or 32GB more ram. Will see how it performs after it starts working, but I suspect I'll need at least 16GB more ram.

Say a round $1,000.

It's a mid tower case, I wonder how many Firefox windows I can do with my Phanteks Ethroo Pro Full Tower + 2 Xeon server CPU + 64 GB of RAM on my latest build?

Now 4-5 years no worries you made good use of the money

Thank you kind sir

But I'm a little stuck. The box has those golden screws in all spots, except the 3 spots on the right.

But with the box I only got 2 of those gold screws (I think they're called standoff screws), but my motherboard has 3 slots for those screws on the right side. Do I just put 2 in place or what? I also got one screw with the motherboard that's also a standoff screw, but the screw part of it is a bit shorter, and it's more white than gold.

I like everything in your set-up. Congrats on this
But one thing i noticed, why you choose this SSD? (SSD - ADATA ASX8200PNP-256GT-C)

Don't know anything about setup man

The price was right. It's pretty powerful. I ran it by a friend and he said it's ok.

haha all right. I'll figure it out.

 

[DE_GAME]

$1,000

Where did you choose to use this route? is it not better off buying a complete set of HP monitor and system unit, a $1000 of HP desktop must be powerful

No way lol

 

[DE_GAME]

No way lol

Can you or @Scorpion Ghost give a reason why, would like to learn from you guys

Just spread the stand offs where they will support the board good without it bending when you plug something in. All the corners if possible and 1 in middle. Its just so the back of the board doesnt touch the board plate and essentially wire everything together.
