Congrats! Did you run into any issues? Did you make sure your monitor is plugged into the GPU and set the refresh rate in display settings? Did you enable XMP and reBAR and configure fan profiles in BIOS?
- I reBAR was enabled by default on my motherboard. I enabled DOCP, monitor in GPU and I didn't have to worry about the refresh rate since I use Linux. Thank you!
Oh man you've gotta turn it off, your ram is so hot it's glowing blue!!!
Nice job! :P
- Its just very ..cool..!
Looks neat, welcome!
Lookin pretty good. What's the first game you'll play on it?
- Resident Evil 4. Love the series but my optiplex 3020 couldn't run any of the remakes. That changes now though!
That looks nice for your first build. I was browsing the comments but it was yet to be brought up, so here it goes.
Whenever you can, and if your PSU has available slot, try and use another PCIE cable going from your power supply to your RX 7700 XT. A single cable powering it might be fine for now but it can be taxing to the cable once you overclock or really pushing the GPU to the limit.
Nonetheless, great job dude.
- Thank you! I will look into thay
Noyce cable management and specs, I built PC's for 30 years...you sure this was your first build? jk.
I bought the same cooler couple of weeks ago without the rgb, best choice budget cooler imo. Got it cooling a 7800x3d real good.
- Thanks! I haven't even been alive for 30 years!
  
  Wheheheheh, thanks.
  ....Cheecky youngsters these days.
Good job! I've been looking for that GPU for a while but can't get one at a price that makes sense. Enjoy gaming!
- Thanks! I hope you find a good price. Thank god I haven't been affected by the shortage yet! I got it for around 430€
  
  cries in tariffs
  Best price I've seen actually available is ~800USD
