I am building my own gaming rig and this topic is for sharing and record purposes as some of you might have zero knowledge on how to build a rig.

I am not professional so this is just for sharing, any comments and feedback are welcomed.

Basic quick start I have referred to this Taiwan youtuber: https://www.youtube.com/@sinyachannel （Mandarin）

actually you can start building now and use it, as your CPU has integrated graphic.

I would just assemble everything and run it using the onboard Intel graphics

Pop in the RTX GPU when it's available later

I see sorry i am really new at this. okay i am currently researching for monitor and keyboard haha

other parts are on the way only the I7 has arrived today!

rmbr to get a Displayport 1.4 cable

as most monitors only come with HDMI

Can even check out linustechtips for pc building.

All the best bruh.

Advice is to take your time assembling it.

👀🍷🍟

Majority of the parts is only one way. Don't force it if it doesn't want to go in. Turn it and try again.

That mobo has HDMI output port so why need DP out to monitor HDMI?

And if it doesnt turn on, just be reminded that there is a power switch behind the PSU.

wah MSI mobo pro series so expensive nowadays?
Last time thies price can get at least tomahawsk or Edge series d

in case he bought a freesync monitor

Looks interesting.

Freesync can run off HDMI if its with AMD GPU. For igpu I dont think there is any need for it as FPS likely wont get up so high.

Bro this is Max version so its a brand new release for 14th Gen Refresh. Sure it will be expensive from start. Plus this is -A version so its the best tier in Pro variant. Plus MSI has given Pro models a huge bump, this Z790 Pro now has VRM almost nearly as good as Toma & Edge variants.

uhhh..

didnt u read tht TS is getting 4080 Super?

Always double check the printing on the motherboard to ensure you plug into correct slots/points. Sometimes the manual can be printed wrongly. Experienced that with one EVGA mobo a number of years back.

Which is why I dont understand why need to use DP out to monitor HDMI. If want Gsync/Freesync via 4080S then use DP from GPU to monitor for guaranteed success. Gsync only works via DP and Freesync kinda works over HDMI only with AMD GPU. If TS monitor dont have DP port then out of luck baby.

Wait..i didnt say anything about DP to HDMI..

I said he need to buy a DP cable bcs most monitors only come with HDMI

He needs DP if he bought a freesync monitor cuz freesync only works with DP if connected to nvidia gpu.

thanks guys keep commenting

Good point, but TS added his monitor model just now (Dell Alienware AW2723DF), so i think it includes both DP and HDMI cable as shown in spec page.
