I just got started on my 1st project and would like to see other builds and get ideas and part suggestions.

I started with a Thermaltake View 71 case, it's really big and too heavy but I like the glass and the setup. Decent enough case.

I also put in this thermaltake power supply. I like the modular system so I don't have wires hanging around that i'm not using. I haven't quite figured out nice and neat yet. :rasta: again, decent enough.

The motherboard, RAM and the video card are all basically decent but stock parts that I want to replace with up to date technology.
Plenty of Hard drives. (:bop:)

The Traders Den has all sorts of audio/video geniuses and I know there has to be some RGB builders out there, I hope to see your work and find out what is preferred your build. Would like to get into watercooling eventually.
M2, Thunderbolt, Optane.....I want it all! Here is what I have so far.
Next step is motherboard (w/video intergraded), processor/CPU and RAM.
looking forward to seeing your work. :clap:

Here is the motherboard I am thinking of buying, had a bunch of parts in the basket, but I chickened out. I need to make sure the processing chip was compatible, even though I think it was.

Had the board, chip and RAM (plus a CPU fan and silver paste).

never had intergrated video - hoping that means I can wait to get a Graphics card but still be able to use it?

This is the leader now, The Thunderbolt 3 i/o are the deal maker so far.

There was another with seven 3.2 gen2 type A out the back but I think the T/3 is a better choice since it has four 3.2 gen 1 ports and two 3.2 gen2 type A along with four USB 2.0

This is #1 in the running:

Thanks, oxy. I searched everyone, the Vision D has the most going for it
without jumping to 750$

It should be upgradeable with an LGA 1200 socket for 10th gen core i3,5,7 and 9. I just need to pick out that next. :drunk:
