What kind of GPU did you get? I’m curious because you may want a bit more than 850 watts. Also, in my opinion, you’d want to get a PSU from a reputable brand. Someone that’ll back their PSU with a substantial warranty, like a Corsair, Asus, or Seasonic for instance.

That case is also pretty large. You may end up with a lot of empty space if you don’t intend to cram it with a million fans. Would also be good to consider the dimensions and how much of your desk it would potentially take up.

What’s your goal for PC gaming? Meaning what resolution do you plan on playing on.

The H9 is a dope case. I just mentioned the size because not everyone has a large amount of desk space to allocate to a case. You don’t want to do the build and then realize you’ll have to rearrange everything to accommodate it. Also with a large case, if you don’t fill the space then you could’ve saved yourself some money by going with something smaller.

Check out the Lancool 216. It’s one of my favorite cases and it can be had for under $100.

Putting action figures in the extra space :obama:

But will definitely do measurements before I buy anything, I'm open to other cases if this one isn't practical.


Edit:H6 Flow

I'm buying all this overtime for sure, don't plan on dropping it all now. I just got excited with some prime day deals and already purchased some stuff.

What do y'all think about all the controversy swirling around Intel and their 13th/14th Gen CPU’s?

I can’t say that I’ve had any issues with my processors. I OC’d the fukk out of my 13900KS and never had any problems. All my blue screens were usually related to memory overclocks that needed to be adjusted.

I’ve had a 14900KF since the beginning of the year that I’ve undervolted since day one and it runs like a champ. I did OC it for a couple months but then I went back to locked cores and an undervolt.
