What custom cables should I get for this PC

Natermodder435 · Jul 26, 2017

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZZZPBP This is the PC that I want to put custom cables in. I want to put in custom cables to make my new PC look nicer. Any idea what cables I should use? Also, are 8 pin and 6+2 pin the same thing? (BTW I have an unhealthy obsession with RGBs as you can tell by the RGB fans lol. The 140mm RGB fans are there to replace the stock front 140mm fans on my case)

Feel free to move this to the right place if im in the wrong category

If you are doing it right you wont see more then a 3-4 inches of cable.

If PSU cables dont look nice then you could get some extensions for your PCI-E cables, get color matching sata cables if not already.

The build itself is a little unbalanced, spending a lot of money in the wrong places.
You should be spending less on motherboard and get an i7 instead.
3000mhz memory wont provide anything worth the premium at least on an intel build

Don't want to be rude but that sure is a flimsy desk for a $3000 computer

Why are you buying expensive enterprise drives and 2.5" ones to boot?
Cant imagine any circumstance with only 2 drives where that would be a good use of money

You can get better PSU for same cost or cheaper. EVGA G2/G3/GQ or Seasonic Gold would be better quality

It's not flimsy you are trying to make fun of me

Natermodder435 · Jul 26, 2017

I only plan on gaming I'm going to build a separate pc for video editing and streaming

Natermodder435 · Jul 26, 2017

I'm leaving my 3.5" bays open for expansion

Natermodder435 · Jul 26, 2017

I'm going to put my 2 HDDs in RAID

...the desk is using wire racks to hold your accessories

Moving on

Regardless of use, still better to spend money on CPU then fancy unnecessary bells and whistles on a motherboard.

Never answered why the 2 enterprise 2.5" drives

Natermodder435 · Jul 26, 2017

I'm pretty sure the Barracuda is a consumer grade hard drive

Natermodder435 · Jul 26, 2017

Not enterprise grade

Natermodder435 · Jul 26, 2017

Maybe you're right... the desk is flimsy

Natermodder435 · Jul 26, 2017

Do you know of any good desks that aren't flimsy

boosted1g · Jul 26, 2017

Natermodder435 :

Look again at your parts list, you have enterprise drives. No way a normal 1TB drive would be $176

Without Wifi, my PC is useless I chose a motherboard with wifi built in so I won't have to purchase a wifi adapter

Put in new HDDs and PSU

Removed the desk

Natermodder435 :

If hardwired ethernet direct from router is just not possible then getting an av1000 powerline adapter is still faster and better for gaming than wifi and only $40-50.

If ethernet or powerline adapter is both not possible, getting an add-on wifi card is better than built in card anyways.
First off, most most built-ins are not the best chipsets and often are not reliable. Add to the fact that they are often more difficult to upgrade down the road while a standardized PCI-E card is much easier.

boosted1g · Jul 26, 2017

If you want to ever use the desk for actual work then I would go with something deeper than 24"

Here is a 66" by 30": https://www.amazon.com/Alera-VA216630MY-Valencia-2-Inch-Mahogany/dp/B00272N3E4/ref=pd_sbs_196_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=B0PQ7ZVW2VX39MGYTV3K

5.5" feet long by 2" high by 2.5"
wide

Natermodder435 · Jul 26, 2017

It's nice but my case is an ATX full tower, are you sure it can fit and still have a gap at the top for my top intake to function properly?

boosted1g · Jul 26, 2017

Its not 2 feet high, it is the standard 29.5" high (which is basically 2.5 ft)

Natermodder435 · Jul 26, 2017

And if I have to downgrade to an ATX Mid tower, what would you recommend that has enough room to fit a 2.5" SSD, 2x 2.5" HDDs, and a 2.5" Hue+ RGB controller

And still leave room for expansion
