The "Over Budget" Lockdown Build

[pigeonguyuk]

Evening All,

At the Start of lockdown last year i decided with saving money from working at home I'd get myself a "Cheap and Basic" gaming rig back up and running.

Well the info in the signature is outdate but will be updated upon completion of the build

So without further delay what do you think of my component List?

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800x
RAM: 32GB G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4 3600MH (4x8GB)

Love the case! What made you choose the GALAHAD? I’m looking for an AIO cooler for the quiet factor but can’t choose between them all lol

I was sick of Corsair, they seem to want to be like apple, if it aint all corsair the functionality isnt the best to integrate, (control of fans/rgb etc) And the Galahad had good reviews and its more of an industrial look at fits the overall build theme and matchs well with Mobo/GPU

The Galahad on a whim ive connected the abgb header to the UniFan control box and it controls the argb so win win situation

I’ll defo be looking closer at that now. Thanks for the tip
