What's the difference between the different fan designs and is it a big deal? I was thinking of going with the one I linked above for affordability. Unless the other model/designs are worth the $50.
That being said, like Nazihk said a while ago, an 8Gb card is definitely overkill. Don't get me wrong, it'll be great, and you'll be able to play just about anything on max graphics, but if you're trying to save money, you don't need that. I make do with a 4Gb card and can play pretty much everything on high settings, although I don't max mine out unless its something more cartoon-y like WoW. I think you'd be just fine with a 4Gb or even 6Gb card.
Shout out to you all (especially @Antidas) for answering my relentless questions. Thank you!
Waiting to buy a second monitor due to financial constraints, going to use my laptop in the meantime. Other than that I will just slowly upgrading peripherals, adding a second monitor, a SSD (Started with 1 tb hybrid to get going), headset, etc. Hopefully all goes well!
Also Elsam showed me a way to get Windows 10 through my school for free, if it works out well I'll share the link here for future student builders.
Back to cooling, my case has one fan. I added a CPU fan, and my GPU has dual fans. Should I add more case fans if I have room? Also got thermal paste to seal my CPU fan.
Let's just hope that the Intel patch doesn't make me regret ditching AMD
I'm looking for a large monitor for my home PC. How are 34-35" monitors? I've been reading that with IPS panels, it is basically a lottery if you get a good one, is this true? What recommendations do you have? Budget is ~$800.
That said though, any fan with improper balance will either make noise right from the get-go or the bearings will wear prematurely and you will get bearing noise.
It's all about quality with noise reduction. Stay away from cheapo brands because it's likely that the QA team at the factories are shit.
Also, sorry I'm late to the party.

I was really curious what a Raspberry Pi setup might look like, and what @Achilles had in mind. The Pi's advantage is obviously the size, enabling all sorts of custom projects. I didn't doubt it was capable of running Achaea: I've been using an Intel NUC for a tiny home office setup where I have a prohibitive lack of desk space, and the box is only about one and a half times the size of my mouse.But I was going to say - my two requirements for mudding would be 1. a sufficient screen resolution to fit enough lines that you don't get spammed out, and 2. a proper keyboard, which then means you need somewhere to rest it, which invalidates the benefit of the Pi.
But that solves both those problems.
The ipazzport keyboard looks not quite so good as a proper keyboard, but a whole lot better than a smartphone for input.
What sort of monitor is that? It looks like you've done some work removing its original housing and mounting it in the clear casing?
I see:
It's not nearly as informative obviously but I've raided on it, and gotten kills 1v1 plenty on it.

Note to self, don't plug the space heater into the same power strip as my computer.

It'll handle most anything you throw at it as long as you aren't expecting max settings, and the Ryzen series is pretty good bang for your buck. The Ryzen 3 1200 is the low end of the Ryzen chips, of course, but it's got good performance for its price range and if you want to upgrade later you can move up to the Ryzen 5 1600. You can't go past that with that build, though, because that mobo is restricted to 65W chips and IIRC all the Ryzens past the 1600 are 95W.
Personally, I'm not a big fan of that motherboard or the micro-ATX form factor in general, so if I could afford more I'd go to a mid-tower and a better motherboard. This is more future proofing than anything else, though. I'd also add a 250G SSD for a boot drive if possible, because an SSD makes a huge difference in load times.
It might be possible to build something equivalent in that price range using the Intel i3-8100, but like I said before, I don't know pricing over there well enough to give any real budget suggestions.
Also, for usd reference:
