Looking good !
Are you able to install AIO to too without any clashes ? Recommend doing this, yes it pulls warn air through the unit and out the case but won't effect temps to much, but means you can run front fans drawing cool air for GPU as CPU , as well as run them faster to get good possitive pressure in their to avoid dust being drawn in from unfiltered areas :)

Although I have seen you do intake from top and expelling out the front.

Hi orbital

Thanks for comments

I’ve had to mount the AIO Cooler at the front as due to size of b350 board it won’t mount at top of system, that’s why I have done intake at the top.
I did make a phone call to overclockers just to check on this as air rises I know and they said should be fine.
I think it’s the radiator on coolermaster masterliquid 240 lite is thicker than some too.

Quick question for you though mate, I have a Windows 10 pro 64 bit key and disc but cause I’m now going dvd less is there any other way I can install windows .

Cheap external DVD drive. Learnt the hard way ! Worth getting usb 3 if you can , plug straight to the back IO ports :)
Also you might find you have to install Mobo CD as Ethernet port not not work , nor wifi

I see, can't remember if the too mesh acted as a dust filters . Bit with enough pressure , should be ok. Might be worth getting the rear to intake as well, that way the left top fan won't lose out and will push GPU heat to the front as well

Heads up, older builds of windows on Ryzen is a pain !!!! If your able to install windows and WiFi or port works without installing the Mobo CD, get straight to downloading installing windows updates !!!!!!
The get the Mobo stuff sorted. DDU and then install fresh GPU driver

Gaming 3 most common spec'd for budget , but Aorus 5 on sale, does have better VRMs along with more VRM for power delivery and to keep the temps down . Normally to expensive but worth a mention on sale. Don't sell the Aorus K5 here which is a shame

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £248.08 (includes shipping: £11.10)


£30 off and £50 off​

To be honest gaming 5 sale price matches it . Get the 5

K5 black out look is nice but 5 did have the more advanced bios at launch - k5 may have opened features but VRM count is increased on the White 5
