Hello everyone. So, I am a college student. I saved money from doing internships to build my first PC. I had done basic upgrades in my old PC that my father had gotten. But since it was i5 3rd gen system, it got me limited use.
So, I saved money and this month completed the first part of my PC Build. I got everything except a GPU, and some extra storage will need to save more money for it.
My Build specs till now
Ryzen 7 7700X - 18.5K from @el_diablo
Arctic Freezer 36 cpu cooler - 3.09K - Computech
Asrock B650M HDV/M.2 - 11,635 - Elitehubs
Patriot Viper 7000 MHZ CL32 2X16GB - (running it at 6000Mhz CL32) - 7.25K - Got this since it cost me the same as a 6000 MHZ CL36 kit - @crazyuploader Helped me order it through cc on amazon to get some extra discount
ANT Esports Crystal X7 - 4.6K - Vishal Peripherals - I could have gotten a better Case, but I was already stretching my budget and this is all I could get. I got it because it came with 7 fans and had Type C in front.
Antec HCG1000 Extreme PSU - 4.6K - from @chungus
I had 1 TB WD BX500 sata ssd, so using it for now, will get a nvme soon.
In total this cost me around 49.5K.
Using without a gpu for now. I can still play old games with the igpu of 7700X. The CPU runs great. Running with -30 PBO all core and +15 on ipgu overclocked +600 mhz.
The temps stay around 50C on idle in this Delhi summer temperature, and while gaming stays around 60C. So I’m also fine with the temps.
Attaching some pics, I dont really know how to take pics and my phone is also old, so ignore the quality
I usually keep the LEDs off, just turned them on for the pics.
Lot of new Graphics Cards being released you’ll have a lot of choice when you eventually come to purchasing, enjoy your new PC.
