[UNBOXING] 6th Generation Core i5 6500 RIG

[Tech Reaper]

So finally, after 4 years, I switched from my 2nd gen to 6th gen. Did a lot of thinking whether to wait for the Pascal Series GPU but since I am going to stay at 1080p for at least another 3 years, there was no point in going any higher than this.

Specifications
Core i5 6500
ASUS H170 PRO Gaming DDR4
ZOTAC GTX 970 AMP! Extreme Core Edition (Thanks to @DSM1)
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD (Thanks to @KnightRider)
Tanscend 1TB Portable HDD
Seagate 320GB HDD
ADATA 8GB DDR4 2133
Corsair Carbide 200R
Windows 10 Pro

And a special thank you to my nigga @Fir3d3mon for helping me out during the final few steps of reaching the desktop screen.

Before anyone asks about the prices, here's a list

Spoiler: show

Processor 21,800/-
Motherboard 15,600/-
SSD 9,200/-
Graphics Card 43,500/-
RAM 4,800/-
External HDD 6,200
Casing 7,000/-

Not so good looking pictures as I was in a hurry to get the whole system up and running since I was without a PC for about 3 months and couldn't hold my nerves anymore.

Thanks everyone. There is one thing that's bugging me though. The cable management is a mess with the current PSU since it has extended connectors on a single wire(as can be seen in pictures) and the wires that are directly connected to the components are still hanging out cz of this. Not sure what to do.

You can try cable sleeving to make the interior look more clean.

Also you can google images on how other people have done it.

bro take the long routing management technique as your case supports cable management use zip ties and tie each cable at the back of the case as there will be lock given for cable management and by the default cables your pc will look like this but it will take time 1st take all the cables near the whole beside the psu at the back and then start management

you didn't get it. I have put all the cables at the back from the hole but the problem comes from the extended connectors that are on the same wire. For instance, there are 2 wires, both have 2x 6-pin connectors. I have connected both wires to my GPU but their 1x 6-pin connectors remains on the loose/extra which is not lengthy enough to be moved at the back. go

your specs are very good. but if you want the whole satisfaction....get a chassis that welcomes cable management. Yours is good but it doesn't have enough space to organize the chunk of wires on the other side.
Also...try for a good cpu cooler....you'll need it.

Not going to overclock so no need of a cpu cooler. About a good chassis: believe me, this chassis is far far better than the ThermalTake V9x black casing that I previously had which was 1- almost double the price of Carbide 200R, 2- No room at all for cable management at the back, 3- cheap plastic hinges to lock components, 4- no proper holes for cable management. Just read the reviews on this casing and you'll see how Corsair managed to pull off a great chassis.

I don't buy anything after reading a review or two. Just to give you an estimate, it took me 3-4 months of research to finally agree to this combination .

I am going for a modular power supply, that'll help me a lot in cable management.
