Just built myself a PC for the first time. I was watching Linus Tech Tips build guide whilst building it, and it ended up taking 2.5 hours. The ATX motherboard made it a bit difficult to manage the cable near the bottom (pic below). Here is the specs, it costed AUD$1200, probably a little more than what I had in mind. Any comment/feedback about the specs/cable management is appreciated.

Also it has been one year since I last logged on to this site, so here's a giveaway DiRT Rally 2.0 LVL1

You've done quite well considering it's your first build. I would pull any slack cables through to the back to make it a little cleaner at the bottom of your motherboard.

I built a new PC just before Christmas, it's so statisfying when it all comes together. :D

Kudos! I know my way round software by now but I'm useless with hardware.
My laptop has been giving me sass with heating issues and I know I need to repaste but I've been putting it off for weeks just at the thought of having to disassemble the whole thing to put one dot of toothpaste on some thingy lol

As a budget builder myself - excellent choice of the parts and future-proofing the build!

$300 for an RX 580? That's a massive ripoff. You can get one on ebay for around $100-120. I would have also bought the Lian Li Lancool II case that just came out for $90. It's the best case you can get at that price point.

I thought that RAM was pretty expensive before I realized the price was in AUD. 😳
