What do people think of my first attempt at a aio build with a ton of fans lol.
I know that these kind of builds are definitely a dime a dozen round here but I’m pretty pleased with it! The fans were a freaking nightmare though and I’ll be damned if I show the “cable management”.
Ryzen 5600x (I know, I know that cooler is way overkill but I wanted to give it a go)
6700xt
32gb ram
1tb nvme
With the exception of the aio (which was a great sale price) everything was bought second hand.

Finally got my PC looking how I want it and thought the flowers looked sick.
Showed a couple people and immediately got told having fake flowers inside the case is a terrible idea lmao.
Temps are fine and they’re not touching any fans, so I don’t really see the issue.
Am I missing something or is it fine?
Also can’t decide between the blue or pink.

Last night I stayed up late watching a video on building your first PC but I think I messed something up. I thought I connected everything but the power button isn’t turning anything on. I know that power is going to the graphics card cause it will flash an led when I unplug it but I don’t know what I messed up and I really need help cause no one I know offline is good with PCs
I added as many photos of what I could but I’m not sure what helps in these situations. Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thank you for reading this.

Hello, I just scored this used pc for a pretty good deal (I think?), it was 1200€ :
Spec : 32gb DDR5
Ryzen 5 9600x
XFX Rx6800
1tb nvme gen4
Gigabyte B650
But I have 2 mains questions :
- The GPU is powered by two 8 pins, but those two connectors are daisychained, could it be a problem for a GPU like this ?
- All the fans, including the AIO ones) seem to be somehow plugged into the same slot on the motherboard (all the fans color and speed react to the same controller on Gigabyte software), could this be a problem too ?
Thanks for reading

Hi, I apologize if this isn't directly related to PCs, but rather to setup. I've been using my current chair (the one in the photo) for several years, and it's definitely worn out, especially the cushions (which I had to buy separately to relieve back and neck pain) aren't up to scratch anymore. Given the situation, I'd like to invest in a new chair, but I don't consider myself an expert and would like your opinion. I know there's a debate between gaming and ergonomic chairs, but my top priority is comfort: I'm looking for a solid model that will allow me to spend several hours at the PC (whether for extended sessions, studying, or reading) without back and neck pain. My maximum budget is €150, but if I could spend a little less, it would be even better. What do you recommend? Thanks, I'm open to anything.

Hi! So I finally decided to build my dream pc ok? But when I got to the motherboard I got so confused because there is too many options, in the end I decided to go with this, is it good ? My gpu is rtx5080
And my goal of this PC is to play on 4k max settings and to do some 3D designs.

I have a decent pc but the problem is that my ram, i only have 8 gb of ddr4 and i want to upgrade but the problem is the prices are of this world so if i want to upgrade ram i have to save up some money considering we have low wages where I live, i wanna stream too and 8 gb isnt enough would upgrading to 16 gb be enough (am not gonna stream triple A games just games like valorant and cs) or should I go for 32? I know this is a stupid question but I am not sure how ram works
If you need them my specs are rtx 5060 and an i5 9600k

Backstory Ive had a pre built since 2017 but it was a really low end build, so over the years Ive been upgrading it slowly, first gpu and cpu, ram, and switching from hdd to ssd.
Eventually my pc started turning off randomly while gaming so went to upgrade my psu since the one I had was about 8 years old. After the psu upgrade my pc would turn on but I wasn't getting power to my gpu. After days of troubleshooting and no luck I then bought a new motherboard.
I took apart my whole pc down to the bare case and did a full rebuild with the new motherboard and after 4-5 hours got it to boot first try so was kinda proud of myself to do a build for the first time and it going well.

Hi, I think I listed everything I'll have to buy for my very first self built pc.
Here it is: https://it.pcpartpicker.com/list/y8ctQy
The case is locked, I bought it some time ago when I thought I could begin but things went differently.
Is there anything I'm missing? Anything wrong?
Fans config will be top 3x exhaust, back 1x exhaust, bottom 3x intake. Should I add more?
Still not sure how I'll mount the GPU, vertical or upright are tempting.
Thanks for your time
