Hello! First time poster here and brand new to SFF builds (haven’t ever done one). I’ve been out of the computer-building loop for a couple of years so I’m somewhat rusty and don’t really know what’s best out there in terms of hardware.
I’ve been following the Sentry case and with its upcoming 2.0 release, I’m planning on buying one and finally building my dream gaming/HTPC system. With that being said, I laid out a general build skeleton a while ago when I first heard about the Sentry and I’m pretty sure it’s not the optimal build I can make. I’m hoping to get some help to piece together a build plan! Budget-wise, I’m looking at $2,000 but I buy pretty much every part used (as I always have) so I tend to get parts for cheaper than what I’d get them online at MSRP. I’m not in any rush either so I’m willing to wait for the correct parts to pop up on Craigslist/eBay.
Here is my current build plan that I made based on the first revision of the Sentry. I haven’t been able to comb through the specs of the new one and adjust this one yet but I plan to when I get home from work.
Any help is greatly appreciated! I’m excited to finally join the SFF club coming from a CoolerMaster Storm Trooper!!
