i paid around 700$ for this build on ibuypower.com

idk much about pc but i've learn some things before..i tried building a pc before but i don't want to screw up.. I need people opinion about this build if its viable or not
 
Solution
It's very overpriced, otherwise it's ok for an entry level gaming PC. If you can cancel the order, we can help you build much better or cheaper.


hi damric i just did the build and so far its great! ,, even though the cable management could be better but its doable atm

my question is that since the cougar case only comes with rear fans is it a good idea to install front fan?
i kinda worried that the cable might get cluttered though.

and its been a great experience so far.. I've learned a lot and now im not scared to open up pc inside out.. i should do more customizing in the future ^^

it took me 5 hours to build it..at first i forgot the sata cables from optical drive and hard drive so i got confused why the optical drive couldn't read..

also cable management is by far the most annoying thing to do here, but doable i guess. maybe ill send picture of what it looks like inside
 


A front fan is always a good idea because in brings in the cool air.
 


I'm so glad you decided to do it yourself.

Yes add an intake fan when you get a chance.

Post us some photos and benchmark results!
 
thanks!
bit of an update..uhm how do you post benchmark ?
ill post photo next week! and yes i will put intake fan next week!

so far I've been using the pc for 2 days, and it runs everything I play so far at max 60 fps perfectly im very happy with it, however the fan seems to be a bit loud ( i don't mind but i like it quiet ) idk which fan though, but any idea how to reduce that ?

thanks again for the help
