I'm reusing an Nvidia GTX Titan Black I have in an old tower. The prices of GPU's would have put the price up around £800 - £1K ish This is what I have so far, there are two 140 fans stacked on top of each other. YODEL is delivering the rest of it. >_> UPDATE: case just arrived Edited July 27, 2021 by martinist
Happenstance Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 How did you end up making your list @martinist?
martinist Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) i'm basicly following this. My motherboard is different, as well as the ram, SSD's and the power supply. Got all the parts i could from it so i can try and follow along once i start building it. Guy breakes down the parts he's using at the start. Edited July 27, 2021 by martinist 1
Happenstance Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 Might be worth upgrading the carpet. Don’t think it’s got enough teraflops. 2
martinist Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 The USB 3.0 case cable is giving me some bother >_>
ArtMediocre Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 Well, this will be fun. Please give us updates along the way. And good luck, just think of it as the most expensive lego there is
martinist Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 Does it look like i've bent any pins? This thing just doesn't want to go in.
martinist Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 the power cable with "CPU" on it goes into the motherboard? or is it the other end?

martinist Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 Stopping here for tonight. Have to put the SSD in and the graphics card. Wire everything up and i'm done. Hopefully it posts tomorrow. Might do something about the ATX connector also. 1 1
Sméagol Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 I'd have put the videocard on before putting the motherboard in the case.. But good luck tomorrow. 1
ArtMediocre Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 I always wait with the video card, and have never even heard about anyone who puts it on while the motherboard is out of the case. Might be good for first time builds while you have the whole case on its side. But yeah, as @Sméagol said, use your motherboard/case manuals. They are the best thing you have! Did you get the USB-connector in place eventually?

Did you get the USB-connector in place eventually? It "went in" but it didn't do so willingly. I'll check if my front pannle USB 3 works if i can get a post screen. If it doesn't work then it's not a huge loss. Edited July 28, 2021 by martinist
martinist Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 My child is complete. Just need to stick the pannles on and power it on for the first time. I'll do the cable management thing later. 4 1
martinist Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) Good news: My boi lives. Bad news: My CPU cooler fans don't look like they're running. EDIT: CPU fan issue is fixed, seems it popped out of the headder when i was throwing cables through it. Works fine now, Still need to manage my cables, my back pannel won't fit back on because of the mess back there but i'll sort it tomorrow. Good for airflow though Edited July 28, 2021 by martinist 4 1
Happenstance Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 Anything in particular you are planning on testing it out with?
martinist Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 16 minutes ago, Happenstance said: Anything in particular you are planning on testing it out with? Well it's a Titan Black, pretty old card. I'll stick GTA 5 on and see how it goes. I'm not expecting high fps from anything too taxing untill i can upgrade the graphics card.
Julius Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 A nearly half hour interview from IGN with Gabe Newell on the Steam Deck, well worth a watch:
Dufniall Posted August 4, 2021 Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) For anyone who has Amazon Prime Gaming, Battlefield V is now free to claim there. Activates in Origin so yours to keep even after cancelling the subscription. Edited August 4, 2021 by Vileplume2000 1 1
Dcubed Posted August 7, 2021 Posted August 7, 2021 Some new hands-on previews of the Steam Deck... God I want it now!!!
RedShell Posted August 7, 2021 Posted August 7, 2021 It does indeed look awesome, but man... TOO BIG. Someone wake me up when the Steam Deck mini exists.
Dcubed Posted August 7, 2021 Posted August 7, 2021 I think the most mindblowing thing seen in these previews is the fact that you can use the Steam Deck screen as a second monitor when you dock it! That's so awesome!!! This is gonna be fantastic for productivity when you dual boot Windows! A full PC that you just chuck in your pocket and get a dual monitor setup on whatever screen you plug it into!
