Beginners luck

So yeah! I set out on my childhood quest to finally commit to creating something from nothing! My definition of luck is when preperation meets opportunity and well, here we have it!

I always dreamed of having a watercooled pc so that was priority. Corsair H100i Platinum here we come!

I knew this was going to be used for heavy gaming so between Intel and Ryzen, the clear winner was Intel for me. I7 9700k to the rescue!

I'm a rookie at all this so I took a friends recommendation to go with the MSI z390 pro carbon ac and I have absolutely no complaints there

As for memory, I knew I would need something with good reflexes so I got me good ol samsung NVMe m.2 Evo plus! They were a little pricey so I had to settle with 500g for now but I'll be expanding to SSD pretty soon

As for the GPU, my bank account was begging for mercy at this point so I ended up going with the workhorse Nvidia GTX1660Ti gaming X

I think the star of this build is going to have to be the case. I spent a really long time finding something different. Unique. So when I came across the IBUYPOWER Snowblind case, I was blown away! Endless possibility at my control!

I had a lot of fun building this and the way I see it, it's still not done. But for now, it'll do
