Hey everyone,

Brand new PC builder(well hopefully, I'm going to make the attempt). I had a question about graphic cards for this case. I found a build on youtube and pretty much based mine off of that with some people offering suggestions that seemed logical. This was going to be my build until the person selling me the GPU backed out today and refunded me via Paypal (some have criticized both the price I was paying and the GPU itself, but the youtuber I saw used it and I'm new soooo...)

So now I need a GPU. With the shortage and high prices, does anyone have a reasonable recommendation for my first gaming PC build? I also saw there is a new GPU going on sale Thursday (RTX 3060). Would it be possible to grab one of them if I'm refreshing web pages every second, and would it be worth it to try? Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thanks for the help!

BTW here was the youtube build I had found...

You guys really seem to know your stuff, so I figured I'd ask questions regarding air flow for my case too before I finish putting it all together here.

I'm in the process of building my first PC and have been scouring the internet regarding this question with varying results. I am using the Corsair SF 450 PSU and was wondering if it made more sense to mount it upside down. It seems counter productive to have that fan and the CPU cooling fan facing each other and that far apart. Has anyone had first hand experience with this? Here is my build, and I am also using the Noctua NF-A 120 MM in the front. What are your suggestions for intake and exhaust for these fans to try to keep this baby cool? Thanks!
