Building a new PC from scratch

After 7 years of service, I finally retired my first at home build to get something with a bit more power behind it. Today I finished putting the pieces together into a new case and transferred my windows licence. I had to do a fair bit of research as I’m not as up-to-date on hardware as I’d like but the process was a lot of fun and a lot of learning. I hadn’t even heard of the latest storage form factor M.2 or the interface NVMe!

Specs:

  • AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor
  • ASRock X570 Steel Legend ATX AM4 Motherboard
  • Crucial Ballistix 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory
  • Sabrent Rocket 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive
  • MSI GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 8 GB VENTUS XS OC Video Card
  • Phanteks Enthoo Pro ATX Full Tower Case
  • EVGA SuperNOVA G1+ 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
