Description

Well this is my first pc build, calling it Snowfall (for obvious reasons)

When first building it(about a month ago) it took me 6 hours in total to put it together and install the needed software lmao. At that time I had a red and black Phanteks p300.

But today I finally (what I consider) finished it since it now has a white case to match my setup.

I'm gonna be upgrading my ram to 16gb once prices go down (hopefully)

(The led's on the fans look blue on camera but they're white)

Part Reviews

CPU

Intel - Core i5-8400 2.8 GHz 6-Core Processor

Great cpu, can easily handle my 1060 6gb

CPU Cooler

CRYORIG - H7 49 CFM CPU Cooler

Keeps my cpu very cool, also looks nice so that's a plus

Motherboard

MSI - B360-A PRO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

Great budget motherboard from what I can tell, nothing wrong with it so far

Memory

Crucial - Ballistix Sport LT 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) DDR4-2666 Memory

Looks great and performs even better

Storage

Kingston - A400 120 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive

Extremely fast, especially coming from a laptop to a full desktop

Storage

Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Quiet, and pretty cheap for the storage capacity

Video Card

MSI - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6 GB GT OCV1 Video Card

Can handle every game I throw at it, high ultra, 60-120fps

Case

Phanteks - Eclipse P300 Tempered Glass (White) ATX Mid Tower Case

HOW IS THIS SO CHEAP?? 10/10 Looks amazing

Power Supply

Cooler Master - MasterWatt 550 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

Quiet and fits in any case

Case Fan

Corsair - Air Series White 2 pack 52.19 CFM 120mm Fan

4/5 I was a bit disappointed the led's aren't exactly the white I wanted, but other than that they're great

another question: how do you control the rgb light strip thing? i might also get that case (i'm not trying to copy you, just want to know about the case(probably getting the black version))

Permalink
Shiloh_ submitter 1 Build 1 point 6 months ago

Sorry for late reply, There is no rgb light strips on the case, the lighting you see is from the two fans that are shown on the list

And if you're talking about the strip of led lighting then theres a small button that controls the colours on the top of the case, it has basically every colour lol

just looking at this set up makes me claustrophobic

Shiloh_ submitter 1 Build 1 point 6 months ago

Very nice build, love the clean feel of your set-up. How do you like the mouse mat? I've been back and forth on whether or not to pick it up on amazon.

Permalink
Shiloh_ submitter 1 Build 1 point 6 months ago

Thanks, spent alot of time working on it

As for the mouse mat, Its great, It gets a bit dirty so I wash it once or twice a month. The only downside is that there are still a few wrinkles in it from packaging(Which might be a one time case) but I can live with it considering there's no other white mouse mat that's this cheap lol

Awesome! Thanks so much for the reply, I think I will snag it then. Good luck and hope my build turns out as nice and clean!

How did you get your cpu to run at 3.9?!?

Permalink
Shiloh_ submitter 1 Build 1 point 4 months ago

It turbo clocks itself when possible, the max is 3.9
