Gaming Computer Specifications?

They're needed on mine to be fair. Just make sure you orient them the correct way when you're installing. If you're sticking with 2, make sure one is pulling in from the front/bottom, and the other is pushing out the back at high level.

Aye I figured that’s how they would go in. Makes senses

I finished this about a month ago. Couldn't get it to the post (Building machines is not new to me, I was fuming). Had to retrace every cable back to the PSU, and it took until the last one to realise that I hadn't plugged the motherboard in :rolleyes:

Good luck

I remember when I built my first pc, after I powered it on the screen was orange. After checking the cables and having the same issue I took it apart and re built it but still had the same issue.

It took me 3 days to find out it was because I had only connected one 8 pin power connector to my GPU and it needed 2.

I got the same samsung SSDs as you during the black fri sales, the m.2 is installed but im just waiting for the 870 to be delivered.

:( I hate cable management. I got the nzxt s340 elite because cable management is supposed to be easy. It does have some nice channels for running the cables but the PSU enlosure on the bottom doesnt leave mucch room to fit the bigger cables, even less now I fitted a bigger power supply.

I had to untangle all this and re do it, took me hours.

\o/ Finally up and running again though with my GPU after everything that could possible go wrong went wrong.

Graphics cards are the main expense and will or break how good your gaming experience is. They're man expensive now because bitcoin miners using them for profit. Annoyingly screwing over gamers in the process.

Linus Tech Tips

Have a watch of a few of this bloke's videos. He'll give you a good idea of what's worth paying the money for because a lot of the "new" generation cards are simply old technology rebranded with small software performance gains.

The mining craze is over now tbh, they have dropped allot in price. Most are bellow the retail price prior to the mining shortage

It can be very frustrating at times! I haven't taken any recent images of mine, but this was it built and before cable management. The back of yours looks very similar to this In-Win, although I could have done with that channel!



I've changed all of the lighting colours as well.

I had all good intentions of using the TV on the wall to play through, but it's just too big and it doesn't sit right me. I've just got back from Falcon with a new monitor :lol:
 
is there vents on the bottom of the case allowing air to enter for those fans, never seem them mounted like that before

Looks like you have your psu mounted so thats taking hot air from the case.

Although if you keep your pc on carpet its probably for the best.

Yeah, where the 2 fans are on the bottom, there are 2 120 dia holes cut out with a dust cover magnetically stuck on underneath.

If I didn't have the 2 140's on the rad, you can fit 3 120's on there as well but it looks a bit pap, the bottom fan on the rad would be overlapping the fan on the bottom of the case

In-Win 805. Bit of a knacker for cable management. Took a while

Volume licences, like what schools buy. Pay for one, but you can chuck it on loads of machines.

Cable management might be the least of your worries. Air flow is very poor.

Same case, it just has lights on it...

They are totally different in terms of build. The infinity has a closed front end to house that stupid never ending light, hence air flow issues.

The normal 805 has an open front end. No air flow problems.
