Caring about cable management is autism

Wondering why your computer is approaching thermal throttling while idling is not
my dad will probably only purchase any sort of upgraded AIO/fans if it becomes really urgent.

otherwise i have to pay for it and i don't have any money

your problem is you bought a prebuilt with a case that has zero airflow despite multiple people warning you about this, fans arent going to help you

You get taught poor cable management in school?
I knew the yank school system was abysmal, but this is just terrible.
pretty sure he means KTEC is their high school and that's the logo
That means nothing to me

I own a gaming pc btw
it's the computer's brain, the thing that executes the code and communicates with all the other components

With graphics card prices falling back to Earth, where they belong, and with the next generation of cpus and gpus being around the corner, you'll probably be able to build a sweet midrange rig with a 6600xt and r7 5800x or 5700x for two hundred bucks more by Christmas.

Some cards for you. Keep an eye on the two bottom ones for the next few months. They may just drop in price.

1: I already have a PC
2: my next upgrade path involves a hybrid card, so the stuff you posted doesnt mean a thing to me. Either Strix LC, Aorus Xtreme Waterforce, or EVGA FTW/Kingpin

Oh, in that case, swap out the 4000d for the 7000d airflow, which is like 219 bucks right now after mail in rebate, and install a waterblock on that card. You can have two radiators in that case for all your watercooling needs. I would recommend a longer, appropriate cpu cable for your power supply, as it's a huge case and your current cable might not route that high.

At that point, I'm already declaring to the world that my computer is the reason I'm a poor

the 5000 is already enough for custom loops with dual rads. the 7000 looks a bit stupid with all the empty space

Don't be an upgrademonkey. Plan to use your rig for six years before you decide it's time to move on, and plan your build around that concept. There are still people using gtx 980s who still say there's nothing really lacking about their cards, still, and they're moreorless right. There are 1080 tis playing twwiii at max settings like goddamn champs. Also, don't be the recipient of the dubious honor of being an early adopter of new ram generations. It'll be another couple years before ddr5 is stable enough.
