Nah fuck that guy

Ah hell, I knew something was off.

Here’s the build:

Prime day got me a few upgrades from my initial build.

It was about $850, plus some to replace some cables. The prebuilts I saw in the same price range were a lot weaker. I also got lucky with prime day, got to upgrade a few parts for the same price.

The hardest part for me honestly was trying to figure out how to get the heat sink back on the m2 after I installed the ssd lol. Took me an hour before I realized there was an extra screw.

Also took me another hour trying to figure out how to install the motherboard in the case. I finally realized that the case had some standoffs in a baggie tucked away in the psu compartment.

I should have taken the advice I read not to start at 9 PM lol.

Appreciate it!

Thanks. Have wanted to do it since I was a kid

Thanks!

I ended up going with the Samsung 980 Pro. Prime day sale had it for $50

I just started playing DnD a year ago for the first time at 31. I’d always wanted to play, ever since I was a kid, but never had the chance. So I decided to grab my wife and a couple of my wife’s friends and DM a short one shot, just to see if we enjoyed it. I spent a lot of time watching videos and looking at the DM communities, and after a couple weeks, we played it. It was a blast, and now a year later we’ve finished our first module and are midway through our second, and I’ve loved every second of it. We have three more players, two of which have played for years, and I’m still DMing.

If you’ve got some friends that play in person and they have an open slot, I’d 100% say go for it. Let them know you’re a total noob and just follow their lead; everyone was new at some point.

I ended up not ordering the cooler based on the recommendations here. I should be able to start building sometime next week. Thanks!

That’s awesome, I’ve got the parts coming in the mail now. Excited to start building

I saw that, I was considering it. I ended up picking up the 5600x today instead, as it’s cheaper than the 5600 that I’d budgeted for.

I think they sell mosquito nets specifically for this too, it can catch a ton.

With an AM5 build, wouldn’t I need to upgrade a few of the other components as well?

Edit: nvm opened the link and saw the build. I’ll need to spend some time considering this lol

I think I’m going to end up going with the 5600 after all the recommendations. Appreciate it!

Are those solid manufacturers as well? I saw that sapphire was recommended so just stuck with that.

I’ll look into that; it’s clear I have a lot more to learn about PCs. And I’m a software dev lol

My current pc is running on 8 or so years with the only upgrade being an ssd. I’ll probably run this one into the ground as well lol. That is good to know though, thanks. I’m hoping the next pc will be a little more high-end.
