Build 1: Date Unknown – Not my first build

Posted on September 17, 2018July 3, 2023 by Michael Molenda

I didn’t take pictures of many of my builds prior to this one.  However, this is what I consider build 1 because it is the first one I took pictures.  Not a bunch of pictures, but this was the first I took pictures. In my latest builds, I am taking a bunch of pictures.

Looks like we have some parts here:

  • Corsair case.  It was a demo model, so I don’t know the model number
  • Intel Core-i5 7600
  • Toshiba SSD
  • Patriot Viper 16GB RAM
  • Corsair H55 water cooler
  • EVGA Nvidia GTX 1060 FTW GPU
  • EVGA 750 G2 750 Watt PSU
  • Asus Prime Z270-AR Motherboard

Unboxed the motherboard.  Good looking board.

Installed the PSU.  Again, the first number of builds I did, no POST test.

Installed motherboard.

Here is the CPU and the socket.  Looks so small compared the the Threadripper 😉

This is my first water cooler install, though.  I had no idea what I was doing…

But I figured it out, anyway.

Installed the RAM

Installed the GPU.  I didn’t cable manage the way I would like to have, but I did get better!

Completed build.  Time to install Windows 10!
