The first PC I ever built.
I finished building this last Saturday...
Ryzen 5 5600g
Radeon 5500XT
Cooler Master Q300L
MSI B550m Pro Vdh Wifi
G Skill Trident Z
Red Dragon Keyboard
I was surprised when I finally got it all assembled...I actually messed up the first motherboard I bought for it, ha.
@amicableox0685 that is amazing! What a great build. You must have been so proud of yourself and excited to try it! Truly an amazing project. Hats off to you!
I hope it bring syou many years of enjoyment.
It's so much more satisfying when using a PC you built!
Very nice built and looks good, good job on putting that together. 👍
The satisfaction of getting your PC built on your own !
@amicableox0685 I took 2 years of electronics. One of the things they taught us was how to build a PC. The PC I am currently running to write this is one I have built back in 2016. I am currently running Linux Mint on it. System Specs:

Wowwww aren't you an amazing! You did a great job! Building computers may be your niche. You could do such amazing things as building custom made and designed computers for businesses and organizations, which will eventually bring in a financial abundance!
How long did it take you to create this masterpiece of yours?
@MsKarma
First time building it, about 4 weeks. What stumped me initially was the front panel connectors. Before even trying to put it in the case I assembled everything thinking that the motherboard had a power on button.
Realized that the case had its on source of power.
Everything else was a breeze.
Wouldn't recommend trying to build unless you're using a chip that has onboard graphics. Makes everything a lot simpler.
The project started off with just trying to find a way to expand my graphics on my laptop using what's called occulink or U.2 . My laptop's motherboard board didn't support that but trying to use the device for occulink was the stepping stone...
...Lo and behold
I think it's great that you have that kind of knowledge. Of course since it's your first build you encountered trial and error like any first time creator.
I'm sure it takes a lot to achieve the goal of building a computer and you did a wonderful job!
@MsKarma I have rebuilt and built several PCs in my day. They are not extremely hard to do. But sometimes you run into odd things. For an example my power supply has a weird plug on it. I actually had to put a round plug into a square hole on the main board. None of the instructions that came with my stuff told me to do that. I had to go online, and research just to make sure that was what I needed to do! Apparently that plug matches up differently on other main boards. I run into that kind of crazy stuff all the time.
@MsKarma
Thank you! It took some planning and research but it worked out.
@amicableox0685 That is the way it always goes. Since I build my PCs to work with Linux, I can't buy the latest and greatest unless I ordered something expensive from System76. I currently run 4 computers, and none of them can run Windows 11 with it's new hardware security requirements.
Awesome 😍😍😍😍
@amicableox0685 looks great!
@amicableox0685
WOW!!! i love PC Video Gaming, your rig is awesome! happy gaming!
