QUOTE(jkfoong @ Dec 28 2023, 04:12 PM) 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. is a freesync monitor  so TS..make sure to use DP cable and not HDMI. |

1TB SSD fills up very quickly, especially if you install newer games which take up a lot of space. Moreover, it is recommended to keep SSDs only 80~90% full.
I'd recommend getting another 1 or 2 TB SSD, it is also useful to have two drives for backing up important data, or doing fresh installs of OS. |

Good build TS, I am going to build a new one by myself as well...now waiting for few parts like Lian Li O11 Vision and Super Flower PSU then I can start building.
My parts choices almost same as yours but differs a bit and I am going for 7900 XTX. What's the biggest challenge during the assembly? This post has been edited by Duckies: Jan 4 2024, 10:33 AM |
