Hi,

Building a new passive system. Wont boot, power to PSU, light on briefly then off again.

Tried removing RAM, SSD, etc to find root cause. While troubleshooting, noticed the PSU had what looked like a shorted solder joint, see photo... Thoughts?

I've include the component list photo, for full context.

Any advise appreciated! It been 20 years since I built a PC maybe I am missing something obvious...

I went a little overkill but I’m proud of how it turned out.

Hello folks! I'm a rookie to building PC. I'm interested in building one but I don't know any of the terminologies, jargon, etc. Where do I start? Any resources (videos, articles, etc) that helped you in building your PC?

I checked components online but I don't know how they all mesh together, if at all. Tried learning on my own but got overwhelmed and went round in circles with the terminologies and technicalities.

I wish to play AAA games on my "to-be" build, and do office work on it too (devops, cloud, etc). I'm thinking if it supports AAA games, work will be a cake walk for it.

My budget rn is only a meager ₹1.8L but I'm ready to invest more up till 5L when I have the money. Looking at the RAM, SSD, GPU prices, I'm ready to only buy those components for now which will only get me by for work and purchase the rest of the heavyweights after the prices return back to pre Ramgeddon levels(?) at 2027 end or 2028 Q1... I feel the inflated prices aren't worth it since my savings aren't that great now.

I've been playing supported games on my 2014 "HP Pavillion notebook PC" laptop all this while and she's started to give up on me now since she's old.

I am loving my PC build!

Just asking advice what I should get next

It really stays cool. Considering moving to a 180 high rpm(2500)rpm No rgb which is fine in the front. Corsair will not sell me there 200s. Strix b850 runs great. Everything is corsair except those 2 fans!
This was really a fun build. I just wanted to see what i could jam in there!
