so since I'm doing a new PC build and this time I'll be doing it all by myself (as opposed to Canada Computers putting it together for me)

gonna do a thread with my progress

so far, all the parts have been picked out and ordered and I'm waiting on everything to arrive before I get started

here's the part list:

ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/stati

tagging these posts with #VoyagerV3 if anyone needs to filter these

first set of parts expected to arrive will be the CPU and the power supply, this Saturday

#VoyagerV3

I have this PC building guide from LTT as a reference since its been a while since I've done this

youtu.be/BL4DCEp7blY

i watched a bunch of it today, its pretty good

#VoyagerV3

i have shipping tracking codes from NewEgg (motherboard) and Memory Express (AIO and SSD)

probably won't arrive till next week but yeah

#VoyagerV3

lewd, cursed?, computer building 

AMD-chan, can I put this new processor into your new socket? 🥺

#VoyagerV3

I have tracking codes from Vuugo for my case and my RAM

#VoyagerV3

Vuugo shipped the case via Purolator and the RAM via a carrier called CanPar

had to update the address on the Purolator package because it seems to have been missing the apartment number D:

#VoyagerV3

thankfully Purolator lets you update address via chat and I didn't have to call

#VoyagerV3

the next expected part is the AMD Ryzen 7900X on Saturday

#VoyagerV3

actually the motherboard may arrive tomorrow according to Purolator

we'll see

#VoyagerV3

just verified with Purolator that the correct buzzer code is on the motherboard package 👍🏾

#VoyagerV3

Mommy board has arrived

(reposting as I didn't post it on public as intended)

#VoyagerV3

that leaves the AIO, SSD, and case all of which should arrive next week

#VoyagerV3

after the Fedex delay, AIO and SSD *should* be here today

case also should be here today

🙏🏾

#VoyagerV3

....Fedex delayed the package again, what is going on over there?

#VoyagerV3

if the AIO doesn't arrive by this Friday, I will pick up a air cooler from Canada Computers to use for this until I get it, don't want to delay this build another week

as for the SSD, I can reuse one temporarily from a ThinkPad that's collecting dust

#VoyagerV3

Lmao so they delivered it today after it said it was gonna be delayed

#VoyagerV3

and that leaves the last item which is the case

probably will arrive tomorrow or Friday

#VoyagerV3

"Wed. Oct. 12, 2022 - 5:00 p.m. TORONTO (EAST/EST), ON Shipment scheduled for delivery next business day"

yep, so tomorrow it is for the case

#VoyagerV3

I have to wait till Saturday to start building this thing *pouts*

#VoyagerV3

my brother is gonna help me build this PC tomorrow morning :blobcatheart:

he has a knack for putting things together so that's some of my anxiety about this alleviated

#VoyagerV3

today is the day! time to build this thing

wish me luck
