[Adam_17]

Can someone please look at this build and tell me what they think, it's my first one and don't know if I will be worth buying. Feedback would be great 😛

I can't speak for most of it as I'm not familiar with UK currency, however I would definitely try to get a modular psu if you can swing it, I just did my first build in the same case and cable management was a huge pain to do(I got a non modular psu)

Thanks for the advice! I was also wondering if this build would be suitable for light CAD work?
