My 2nd build ever and first time building on my own. I was happier than a pig in mud when it power on and posted on the first attempt.

My build (nothing fancy, just for some 1080p gaming):

  • 32 GB G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5
  • ASRock AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT
  • Gigabyte B650 X AV V2 Motherboard

  • Cosair RM850e Power Supply (850W, Gold)
  • Cosair 3500X Mid Tower Case
  • 2TB PNY XLR8 NVMe Gen4 M.2 Drive*

*Edited: Forgot to add the storage.

Very cool build! That is such a cool case. If I built with it, it would be so covered with fingerprints though haha

    I wore nitrile gloves the entire time i was building and setting it up, but that was mainly because i have overly sweaty hands.

    It also helped all of the glass had a protective film too.

    Yknow, now i feel weird for not doing this. I already have the gloves too (i use them for cooking, constant handwashing destroys my hands and i like hot peppers)!

    Ill definitely do so from here out! Need to work on my server and i just got a new (used) laptop i wanna dismantle and do some upgrades on at some point (primary ram slots are not accessible without pulling the whole board, as well as 1 of the 3 M.2 slots).

    Oh ya the gloves will be nice when doing a teardown.

    It's nice not having to worry about getting grease or oil on the various connectors!
