Building my first AMD in a long while

Those carousell windows 10 key trustable or not?

Later after some time got pop-up pass the free trial period, very scared of this. As in fake CD-key?

I bought a $3.90 win10 pro key, seems like a legit code to me

Hmmm okay, thanks everyone for the replies.
It's been many years since my build so I'm kindda feeling my way around on the M2 thinggy - didn't exist when I did my 2700K build.

Appreciate the recommendations!!

So let's say I still wanna stick to Asrock (seem to hear good reviews abt its stability...):

438 Asrock AB350M Pro 4 + Ryzen 1600
195 Corsair Vengeance LPX 2666Mhz 16GB
255 Samsung 850 EVO 500GB
168 WD Red 3TB
379 MSI GTX1060 6GB Double Fan
75 Liteon Bluray Writer Internal OEM
175 eVGA G3 Full Mod 650W Gold
89 Cooler Master CM590 III
22 Cooler Master Jetflo 12cm LED
22 Cooler Master Jetflo 12cm LED
16 Cooler Master 140mm LED Blue
16 Cooler Master 140mm LED Blue
155 Windows 10 Home
Total: 2005

Assuming I don't make use of any Lazada discounts or anything.....

(1) The microATX motherboard is going to look a bit odd in a big ATX casing. I would rather change to an ATX motherboard or to a microATX size casing. But if you don't mind, then it's ok.

(2) Why do you need to buy so many fans? The casing already comes with 2 front fans.

Guess the idea that a casing with more space tends to be cooler hahaha.

As for the casing, does it come with 2 fans already? Coolermaster website seems to suggest only 1 front, thus my notes of needing
1x 12cm for front
2x 14cm for top
1x 12cm for back

If the casing already comes with 1x then that's great!

The size of the casing doesn't make the system cooler (as in temperature). It depends on the type of cooling (air cooled or liquid), number of fans, whether there is enough positive or negative air pressure, etc...If going by your logic, then those microATX casing manufacturers will be out of business

The casing comes with 2 fans pre-installed. Check under the page section "Specs", "Pre-installed Fan(s) have Front Blue LED 120mm x 2.

Nice! Will check on the spot I guess. Add 1 or less 1 fan won't break the bank
