New & First PC - Feel a bit underwhelmed?

Since I was 13, I always wanted to buy and build a gaming PC. Parents were way too short on money to even entertain this idea when I was growing up, so 12 years on I bought all the parts and gave it a go last weekend.

Apart from messing up the cables after a few drinks on the Saturday evening, I a

Fractal Terra with Noctua GPU Deshroud and PSU Fan Swap

After several revisions I'm finally done with my first SFF build that began a month ago.

My previous pc was a mid tower that was more or less completely silent so I was initially unhappy with the noise that was coming from my terra. I undervolted the CPU and GPU in order to gain some thermal headro

I've come over to the dark side... 9070XT & 9600X

After 20 years of using nVidia cards, I have taken the plunge & gone for the 9070XT. I managed to pick this one up at less than MSRP for £540. I also picked up a Ryzen 5 9600X.

I almost used a RX 580 in my last build but ended up returning it for a 1060 6GB.

I'm excited to be moving up to 1440

Tiny Tower (L400, RX 9070 XT)

Went all team red (or white) for this one. I'm loving the 9070 XT, it's such a beast of a card. It was a pretty good building experience imo aside from the tightness for the fans. Definitely could have done better cable management but didn't have enough time. Fan cables were tidied up tho. The case
