Thanks! So.. everything seems to be working but I missed a top corner screw on the motherboard because the screw wasn’t long enough. I loosened up the top two screws and it still won’t connect to the standoff. It’s lined up though.. so I don’t know what’s going on or if it’s worth going back...

Thank you all! I did it! And to my surprise it seems to be working well! I am just using tne two front fans and it seems plenty sufficient to cool the inside. I made sure the power cord was put in tight in the gpu.. didn’t hear much of a click (have severe hearing loss) like the other cords but...

Thank you all! I have finally procured all the parts for this build and will start with that tonight.. kinda of scared but I think I’m knowledgeable at this point! One thing I was just looking at was the heatsink for the SSD. Will the one that comes with the mobo be sufficient? I’m seeing these...

Thanks for the info! That has put my mind to rest hehe.. almost have all the parts here and feel confident about this. One thing though is the RAM.. I keep going back and forth from 32 to 64gb. From what I’ve read 32gb should be more than enough for games, heavily modded games and graphic...

Thanks very much man! I agree, if I can use the ak620 then that’s what I want to do, just wasn’t sure if it’d fit the b650 aurus elite ax.. I got those low profile RAM so idk why it wouldn’t. Guess I’ll cancel that order then for the liquid cooler, I just idk what that DeepCool dude was talking...

Thanks! Do you feel the AK620 would be better than that AIO? I see many people using it for the 7800x3d so I’m not sure what the DeepCool guy is talking about.. The guy at DeepCool I spoke to said if I wanted to use rhe AK620 that I might need to “under clock” the cpu which I’ve never heard...

Thanks for the info! Yes seems like people like to overcomplicate things! I am wondering if this would be a good liquid cooler DeepCool LT720 Liquid Cooler 360mm Multidimensional Infinity Mirror ARGB Block 300w TDP 4th Gen Dual-Chamber Pump 3100RPM AIO Anti-Leak Tech CPU Water for AMD AM4/AM5...

Alright.. so I just got the Lian Li 216 shipped here and it looks great! Has two giant fans on the front and one smaller fan on the back. Is that all that’s needed to keep everything cool? Of course the CPU cooler will be in there too. I’m not sure where I would want to mount that third little...

So.. I’ll probably be going with the auros elite ax b650. I’m now looking at the cpu cooler again, will the AK620 for sure fit on that? I saw someone saying it didn’t fit their b650 tomahawk which is strange as they both have the same am5 chip, no? Thanks! I got the wd-black 4tb ssd btw.. it...

After a lot of research, I’m now leaning towards the aurus elite b650.. it matches my gpu hehe so might make things easier. And the wifi seems reliable Compared to the other brands. I am now looking at SSD’s and trying to figure out what brand I want. The crucial p3 looks like a great bargain...

This is another mobo I’m looking at that got good reviews. ASUS ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming WiFi AM5 (LGA1718) Ryzen 7000 Gaming Motherboard(12+2 Power Stages,DDR5,3xM.2 Slots,PCIe® 5.0,WiFi 6E,2.5G LAN,USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C® Port) https://a.co/d/4otmsEH What do you think? Thanks!

Thanks for your input! .. would you go with that one over the tomahawk? I’m torn between the two.. does it just come down to personal preference at this point? I have no idea what to choose but it seems like multiple people have agreed the tomahawk is a good board.. Edit: it just seems like...

Thanks for the video! Doesn’t seem complicated at all and I’ve got my Sandisk 8gb flash ready. I’ve been thinking about it see this motherboard as well: ASUS TUF Gaming B650-PLUS WiFi Socket AM5 (LGA 1718) Ryzen 7000 ATX Motherboard(14 Power Stages, PCIe® 5.0 M.2 Support, DDR5 Memory, 2.5 Gb...

Thank you! Looks like I’m set! It doesn’t seem like the ram has rgb either. A little light just to show it’s on is all I need. Anyways, after looking at what to do after all the components are plugged in and the pc is turned on it looks like im going to need to install windows 11. I thought...

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tkcTFs This is my current build. I changed the SSD as well to a 4tb one. Is the RAM good? Think I’m down with an RGB version of that unless they make them without RGB? Thanks! Edit: I Think there’s rgb on the video card too? I imagine all those are easy to turn...
