GIGABYTE AORUS Project Stealth DIY PC Kit (Z690 AORUS Elite Stealth, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Gaming OC 8G Stealth, AORUS C300G Stealth) - GB-Stealth Combo IN2181

Got this kit on sale for $600.For the price, the components alone were a steal.The one-of-a-kind look to this computer still blows me away every time the led strips light up the interior.If you’ve researched this build, The case is the biggest drawback to the build and doesn’t have the best airflow, however, I have yet to have any temperature problems because of the case.My only actual complaint is the cable management space on the back of the case is incredibly tight.This was my very first PC build and my very first desktop ever and (with patience) I was able to make the cables fit.There is a full 3 hour video on YouTube of a guy building this pc which really helps if this is going to be your first build.The board only has 6 headers you can use for fans (including cpu fan and pump) so buy a couple splitters if you’re going to run all 6 fans.Other than that, the kit works really well and I couldn’t find anything else to actually complain about.

I bought this DIY Gaming PC kit for my son's Christmas, and I will do better research next time! Turns out that for close to $1000 you only get a (very cool) case with a motherboard and the graphic card.Nothing else.You will need to buy the rest, and when you think that new PC/Laptops get sold for about 5-600$ total, this Gaming DIY will become a very pricey project, so this review is for awareness for the parents: you will need to add the RAM memory (I went with 2 sticks DDR5 32GB for $120), a Power supply ($150), SSD drive (2TB, about $160), a CPU (I went with Intel Core i5-12600KF for $200), a CPU cooler (about $40).... that will get you to be about $1,700 + tax and you will need to spend time assembling the machine (about half a day). This does not account for other elements like mouse and monitor (you may already have that) and also, the machine still will not have the basics you could expect in 2024: no Wifi card, no bluetooth capability... Cool toy, but never expected to spend ~$2000 on a DIY PC.

Worked out. Bought it renewed. Everything went well. The only niggle would be that the video card wasn’t really well secured. Build went well otherwise for a barebones plus video card.

Bought this for 13th gen Intel CPU so had to update bios with qflash plus. Thought it was not going to work. Finally got to work after I bought a USB 2.0 flash drive that was Windows XP/2000/Vista/Win 7/8/10 compatible.

Dont care what linus said on youtube. Case is doing just fine on airflow (no holes included). Temperature has not gone above 60 degrees. Keep in mind that the two fans on the case were on backwards.
