When i went out to build my first PC, GPU prices where still up a fair amount because of crypto mining. because of that i had went out and looked at the used market for Gpu's and found a decently priced GTX 1060 6gb that fallowed the color's of my system for about 150 bucks, it was used for mining but apparently the seller failed to get his rig working so it was only really used for a week or so, practically brand new in my eyes (idk if this was true lol).
with the Gpu taken cared off i began to look for new and refurbished parts so i can get the best bang for my buck. i used coupon codes, gift cards, sales, anything that could save me some money, even waiting more than 2 days with amazon ( D
.
i went with a brand new ryzen 5 2600 as in my eyes its the best bang for your buck CPU out at the time of buying it (could have probably saved more if i went used but it was on sale for 110 at the time i beleave)
the motherboard and ram where also purchased brand new.
the fans i got practically for free because i used a gift card i had gotten with one of the purchases to get a 5 pack of red colored fans from CUK (3 at the front of the case, 1 in the back, and 1 at the top. 3 intakes, 2 exhausts), even though i originally ordered white colored fans but hey, it still looks good (dident see them in the options so i just dident put them in the part list)
i chose the case because its extremely sleek and simple, and its a high airflow type case which i was looking for specifically instead of the closed front panel cases, that with the tempered glass side panel, it was the perfect case for me.
the cables i actually recently got, i wanted them mainly to pretty up the inside of the case, but i dident want to spend the cable mod premium, so i found the brand Uphere and honestly the cables look great!
the keyboard and mouse i got just because they where cheap and red dragon has given me good products in the past
the monitor i has gotten refurbished, 144hrz 1080p 24inches, and NOW one of the tested g synch supported free synch monitors for around 100 bucks? i couldn't beat that deal.
when i was designing the build in my head i wanted parts in it that dident have there own color to them, (white, black, and gray are not colors!) with this i could really control the theme easier with RGB lights (which i plan to upgrade the fans to at some point). i would like the inside to be more lit up, i might try to find some stage lighting RGB strips for right at the top of the case to light things up, probably will do white lights with that. the part selection was aimed twords my photography and web/graphic desing work while also being plenty capable to play video games, (maybe a little more gaming than design and photography creation.......... still need to get a different monitor with a ips panel)
The name "New Kid" came from the idea that the colors for pc gamers are red and black, and most new pc gamers would have a red and black aesthetic to there build because of maybe that stereo type or because of the fact the majority of PC parts are black now a days with red, most newer people would also go for a budget oriented pc most of the time.
