The Source of My PC Build Problems

A few months ago I decided it was finally time to start building my first PC. I used PCPartPicker for components and out of all the MOBOs I chose this one. Last month I started building a rig and ran into a problem adding a heatsink. The AMD sockets were too short for the fans (only to find out the heatsink didn't support AM4 and PCPartPicker lied to me about it). I was forced to stop everything and find a new heatsink to fit the AM4 socket and I ran into the same problem. So after finding a crucial way to keep it running (maybe ruining my MOBO), I reassembled my PC, had problems with my monitor display and had to keep driving back and forth to the Micro Center and on a waiting list for mine PC stand and back home and have another problem (not related to MOBO this time). This is my first time building a PC and I already regret it. And as I write this review, I still can't turn my computer on and have to call Micro Center AGAIN. All because I'm trying to find the right heatsink for this motherboard.

Pros
  • ALC887 Audio Codec
Cons
  • Might Corrupt
