PC Build 

Aw yeah save for the power supply and the graphics card, this PC is more or less built! I really like how it looks, and at some point I might get some RGB lighting to go with it. A shame the front USB-C port is useless (board requires a type E header for 3.2 gen 1 USB support, case has an older 3.0 header connector for it. I'll eventually swap that out with the appropriate port) but the 2 front USB ports are connected, and there is a 3.2 type A and type C 10gpbs plug in the back (not shown, I'll have a photo of that when the rest of the equipment comes in.)

Case is a Silverstone RL5 B/W, motherboard is MSI MPG B550 Gaming Edge WiFi with AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and Cooler Master Hyper 212 CPU cooler, and G.Skill Ripjaws V 2x16GB DDR4 3200 memory chips! Tucked underneath the Lightning Gen 4 thermal shield is a Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB SSD drive. Windows 10 is now on the system thanks to doing something you really shouldn't do with a power supply that doesn't fit :P

I kind of wish the CPU cooler didn't stick out so much, but as long as it keeps the CPU within acceptable operating temps, especially under heavy use, I'm happy!
