Never built a PC before, but thought it was a good time to get started on it!
I already got the tower, CPU and motherboard. Someone was getting rid of that specific tower and they wanted it gone - it was basically free! (aka a glorified curbalert)
I chose that CPU cause I don’t want to spend money on a GPU, yet. Not looking yet into AAA gaming, at most I’ll start with my Steam indie backlog 😁
Thanks!
Artic is replacing that cooler with a newer model. Try to get a good deal on the previous version or swap to the new model.
