This pinball cabinet that I'm building is gonna be the death of me. I was getting close(r) to finishing and out of nowhere the gaming PC that I built died.
I built this PC on a budget mainly because I already had it and I wasn't wanting to break the bank.
The PC was a Dell Optiplex 9020 with an I7 CPU. It had 16g of RAM, 1TB SSD, 500w power supply and a Nvidia 1060 GPU.
Last night the fans starting spinning really fast. I had never seen them run that fast before. Usually it's a sign of overheating. I turned it off for a while and when I attempted to turn back on....DEAD! Nothing. No lights. No fans. No nothing.
I pulled the power suppy and it's fine. I checked the power button. No problem. I'm thinking it's the motherboad.
I guess that's what I get for cheaping out.
I'm not a gamer. I've never been a gamer and won't become one. I just need to build a gaming PC for a pinball cabinet. Doesn't need to be the most powerful. It will have 3 monitors all running 1080p.
I've never built a PC from scracth before.
Here's what I ordered:
I'll use my old existing GPU and SSD.
Hopefully, I don't fuck it up. Any advice is welcomed.
