Description
Overall, it was a great experience building a pc for the first time, and now that I finished this one, I want to build another one. Anyways, love how it turned out, and the performance I got out of it was a lot better than I expected. Over 60 fps on most games at high to ultra settings, and temperatures are low considering the overclock and stock cooler. My cable management was eh, that's why there's no picture lol.
Part Reviews
CPU
Does everything I need it to. The stock cooler is better than I expected, and overall best value cpu on the market right now.
Motherboard
Amazing mobo. The power delivery is exceptional, and overclocks were easy. The bios is easy to maneuver and has everything where it needs to be. Great job MSI on the b450 mobos, exceeded all expectations.
Memory
Looks great, runs great. Best part about this is the rgb has a real white color, as opposed to most other rgb products that have a blueish glow to it.
Storage
Only giving this 4 stars because I expected around 10 or so seconds boot time, but I'm currently getting around 15-20 seconds boot time. Still way better than a hard drive though.
Video Card
1 main reason for the deduction of a star. The fans won't turn on unless the sapphire trixx software is running, which can sometimes be a pain. Even when the gpu gets over 70 C the fans won't turn on unless the software is running. Other than that great budget card.
Case
Beauty at its finest. Wouldn't get any other case, except maybe the h500i...
Power Supply
No complaints here, just a solid PSU overall.
Case Fan
The whites on these fans are not white, they actually look like a pale blue color, which isn't good for those that want a white themed build. Other than that the other colors with the software effects are easily the best in the market right now.
Monitor
Best budget monitor. Period. Freesync, ips, 75 hz, all for $80? It's a steal for anyone on a budget.
Mouse
Solid mouse, only complaint is that the sides can get slippery after a while of gaming.
Speakers
Decent speakers for the money. Isn't the best quality, but gets the job done, which is its intention.
Custom
Great look on the wiring. the cable combs are okay, but could be better.
Custom
Best keyboard I've used so far. Everything is positioned where it should be, and the linear romer g switches are better than the mx reds, in my opinion. The software is excellent, but the best part of the keyboard is the wrist rest. This thing is so comfortable, and really makes the experience a lot better.
