So Ive just finished my first ever complete build from scratch. I choose the phenom mainly for size and aesthetics 
.
For a first time build It was a pain in the bum to build in, Ive never built a PC from scatch but know my way around components and a PC from upgrading my old rig, so I did have some experience to compare too.
Can honestly say I didn't enjoy the build. I was slightly rushed due to NYE and being hungover today, but I do feel a good sense of achievement after finishing it.
Most annoying parts.
Mounting the h60. Getting those black screws to line up with both the case/fan and radiator was super annoying.
Installing things in the wrong order, making life a lot more difficult ( put that down to experience )
Not much in the way of cable management.
However I'am still made up, first build successful,running 8.1 can barely tell the PC is on its silent!
next step OC the i7 !
Meanwhile need to DL some security/utilites/ and of course GAMEZ.
Specs in signature.
Sorry there isn't any pictures
