  • PC cases have sizing standards in regards to the motherboard. Most cases fit ATX. Looking at your parts list you chose an ATX motherboard and a case that allows ATX boards. Well done! :)

    What CPU fits into your system is based on your motherboard socket. The only thing to keep in mind when it comes to fitting parts are the dimensions of your CPU cooler & GPU respectively.

    Since your case is listed with 503 mm x 240 mm x 509 mm the cooler might come up a little snug, but your parts should fit.

    And yeah, it should be totally fine getting a case second hand. There isn’t much that can break, since it’s basically just a metal box :)











  • Generally I like to ask a lot of questions in order to fully understand concepts. Additionaly maths are unintuitive to me. So, for me class moved to fast, I didn’t dare to ask questions, because my classmates would assume you were dumb if you did, and my parent insulting me for my lack of understanding built resentment and the believe that maths simply aren’t for me.

    I read an article recently that explains that this believe further perpetuates the lack of understanding and that it’s basically a downwards spiral. And it made sense to me. Not just in respect to maths, but school overall. I always assumed I was an idiot because my grades, my classmates, teachers, friends and parents suggested or deepened that believe. Now I am studying a field I am interested in and thrive, to the point that one teacher actually complimented my intelligence. and then everyone got up and applauded

    So yeah, I agree. Given a relaxed environment to learn maths, I can absolutely see myself enjoying it. Even if it’s just the teachers fascination rubbing off on me.
