Here’s the build:

Prime day got me a few upgrades from my initial build.

It was about $850, plus some to replace some cables. The prebuilts I saw in the same price range were a lot weaker. I also got lucky with prime day, got to upgrade a few parts for the same price.

Here’s the thread: https://lemmy.one/post/876670

The hardest part for me honestly was trying to figure out how to get the heat sink back on the m2 after I installed the ssd lol. Took me an hour before I realized there was an extra screw.

Also took me another hour trying to figure out how to install the motherboard in the case. I finally realized that the case had some standoffs in a baggie tucked away in the psu compartment.

I should have taken the advice I read not to start at 9 PM lol.

Thanks. Have wanted to do it since I was a kid

 
 
 

I ended up going with the Samsung 980 Pro. Prime day sale had it for $50

I just started playing DnD a year ago for the first time at 31. I’d always wanted to play, ever since I was a kid, but never had the chance. So I decided to grab my wife and a couple of my wife’s friends and DM a short one shot, just to see if we enjoyed it. I spent a lot of time watching videos and looking at the DM communities, and after a couple weeks, we played it. It was a blast, and now a year later we’ve finished our first module and are midway through our second, and I’ve loved every second of it. We have three more players, two of which have played for years, and I’m still DMing.

If you’ve got some friends that play in person and they have an open slot, I’d 100% say go for it. Let them know you’re a total noob and just follow their lead; everyone was new at some point.

I ended up not ordering the cooler based on the recommendations here. I should be able to start building sometime next week. Thanks!

EDIT: Here's what I ended up going with: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/j3VDbK

I decided to stick with the stock cooler for now, if I need to upgrade later then I will. I was going to downgrade the CPU to the 5600 as recommended to save some money, but the prime day sale kicked in and the X ended up being cheaper. I also switched to the 980 Pro rather than the Evo 970, once again courtesy of our capitalist overlord's Bezos day. I managed to snag a new RX 6700 XT for $310 on Amazon a few days ago, but it's shipping from Portugal so we'll see if that sticks.

Really appreciate all the advice, yall made it a lot less intimidating.
