After annoying Pri many times, I finally pulled the trigger and jumped down the plane of PC building !

Here are the parts I bought tonight (PCPartPicker list):

• CPU : AMD - Ryzen 5 2600X 3.6GHz 6-Core Processor
• CPU Cooler : AMD Wraith Spire (Stock fan)
• Motherboard : MSI B450 GAMING PRO CARBON AC ATX AMD Motherboard
• Memory : G.Skill - Trident Z 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory
• Storage : Samsung - 970 Evo 250GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive
• Storage : Seagate - Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
• Video Card : Sapphire Radeon NITRO+ RX 580 8GB SPECIAL EDITION
• Case : Cooler Master - MasterCase H500 ATX Mid Tower Case
• Power Supply : SeaSonic - PRIME Ultra Gold 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
• Thermal Paste : Noctua Thermal Compound NT-H1
• Video Card Holder : Cooler Master MasterAccessory Universal VGA Holder

Pri will be happy to hear that I got 3 source of RGB !!!

• Case Fans
• Motherboard
• Video Card

Future Parts:

• Screen
• Keyboard
• Mouse
• CPU Cooler (if needed, I might change the CPU Cooler based on the temperature).

Gonna be a great system, make sure to post photos

What kind of pictures, the finished product ?

Do you want some benchmarks too ?
If so, which ?

I received the CPU, 2 drives and the Video card today

The video card is pretty, but so massive !
Since I am afraid of the Graphic card sag, I bought a Video Card Holder

And I realized when I saw the CPU Cooler that I forgot to buy Thermal Paste.
I know I might not need it, because the Stock Cooler has some pre applied.
But if I need to remove and put back the cooler, I don't want to wait for a week to receive it... so I bought some just to make sure.

Unfortunately, I was not able to find these items with RGB...
RBG Thermal Paste seems really rare for some reason ?!?

I edited the original post with the new part links and added the PCPartPicker link

I thought my old screen resolution was 1920×1080 (1080p), but its only 1680x1050

Guess I will really need to look for a monitor...

I just meant anything you wanted to show, the individual parts or the completed build

For benchmarks, I'd recommend Cinebench, that's quite popular. Also CPUz's built in benchmark. For graphics we usually use Firestrike and stuff but I wouldn't bother installing it if you don't want to (it's quite a large program while Cinebench and CPUz are very small).

Using the youtube videos and part manuals, I was able to almost build it alone.
The only thing that didnt work was a major one (nothing worked because I didnt enter the 24 pin power cable all the way in).
A huuuuge thanks to Pri for the troubleshooting, it all works now !

I renamed my build 空 - Sora - Sky because it has a blue RGB theme and air cooled.
If the next one is water cooled (and still blue) I will name it 水 - Mizu - Water

If you want to see some pictures of it, here is my Picture gallery
It includes a picture of Cinebench R15 and CPU-Z 1.86, but it is not overclocked yet.

I think the cable management is not too bad for a first timer...
Well only if you don't look at the front clump, I don't know why some of these were so long...

The UserBenchMark site provides a tool to compare your PC.

UserBenchmarks: Game 83%, Desk 126%, Work 106%
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X - 94.3%
GPU: AMD RX 580 - 76.2%
SSD: Samsung 970 Evo NVMe PCIe M.2 250GB - 247%
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB (2016) - 114.1%
RAM: G.SKILL Trident Z DDR4 3200 C14 2x8GB - 111%
MBD: MSI B450 GAMING PRO CARBON AC (MS-7B85)

The only score that isnt great is the Memory Ramdom Access Latency, which is at 71.9ms (56%).
Is it normal, or do you think I got a parameter that isn't set correctly?
Because I thought that it was a good set (Tested Latency : 14-14-14-34 on the Product page)

Did you set the DOCP profile in your BIOS pano ? You have to set that so the motherboard will read the settings from the RAM and apply them.

The build looks great Pano. Very nice choice of case.
