New build!

[FearTheCow]

Decided the fx8320 wasn't doing it anymore, went with
Case - Corsair air 240
MB - MSI b350m mortar
Ram - g skill 3000 16Gb
CPU - Ryzen 5 1600

Re used
SSD - 500GB
HD - 1 TB WD blue
PSU - EVGA
Cooler - H100i
GPU - rx460 (next on my list to replace, damn GPU prices)
I just need to do a clean install of Windows now, so far so good, really liking it for how cheap it was to put together.

Replacing the girlfriends 8 year old celeron so she can actually play games lol.

Edit: oops, using an rx460, also just ordered 2 corsair ml120 fans to see how they do.

Bought 2 Corsair ML120 pro white led fans, then realized I had some blue led fans, with the red led lights on the MB my computer is now Red, white, and blue lol.

Just for funsies, a little update, finally settled on fans/cooling.

2x corsair ml120 pushing air through the h100i
1x corsair ml120 pro pulling fresh air into the side panel
1x corsair ml120 pro exhausting out the top
2x noctua 80mm redux pwm exhausting out the back

All fans run between 500 and 800 rpm at idle, cpu temp is about 28c. I have each group set to ramp up at different temps to keep positive air pressure in the case.

My temps after a couple rounds of bf1 top out at...
CPU - 42c ish
MB - 52c ish
SSD - 38c ish

So nice having a quiet, non space heater pc lol.

Edit: Did something I swore I never would, put leds in the case, bought the corsair lighting node pro, really digging it!
