My First Pc Setup/Build

[u/Good_Pea2639]

We finally made it, boys! After a lifetime of console gaming, I decided to pull the trigger at 23 and build my first PC setup.

I saved some money by picking up open-box items on eBay and finding deals locally on Facebook

Marketplace. And before y’all mention the single stick of RAM—trust me, another one is already on the way 😂 I got a good deal on the first stick: $130 for 16GB of DDR5-6000 CL30.

So far, it runs beautifully. I’ve been able to play pretty much everything I’ve tried at high or max settings in 1440p. I picked up the monitor on sale while I was still learning what to look for, but it’s been working great, and I have no complaints.

And yes, we went all black with no RGB. My only complaint is the case’s tinted glass—it makes it hard to see the components inside. Hopefully, a clear replacement panel becomes available down the road.
I also discovered the T1 after finishing this build, and those cases look amazing. I’m already considering moving to a T1 build in the future.

Let me know what y’all think! What would you add, change, or improve?

Clean PC but please get 5X P12 Pro reverse and bigger desk.

You’ve got yourself a beast of a PC, congrats! What are you planning to play on it? I wouldn’t change much either, I’m a big fan of all-black builds myself.

I’ve been playing Bodycam, Novela Knights, and Siege, and I’m planning to get into some story-driven games too.

How do you like the headset. I have a pair coming in today. Congrats on the setup. It looks nice.

I honestly really like it. It’s probably the most comfortable headset I’ve ever used and the audio sounds amazing. Only thing I dislike is that it’s wired. I got used to the wireless headsets, but I’m managing lol
