Psyras Dreamlite, the Psychic Bard
This blog post should have been done a long time ago,
however, I have finally completed another project, the second project of the
year.
As stated in
the title, Psyras Dreamlite is a Psychic Bard from the world of Dungeons and
Dragons. She has a pink aura to detect feelings and help others feel better as
time passes.
There are
some photos of the parts when I am doing the build. Let’s get this going, it is
something that I am proud of.
Firstly, the
build always starts with the motherboard, the CPU and the RAM. For this
scenario, I picked the Ryzen 5 2600. It is a 6 Core / 12 Threads processor
which is good for multi-tasking and gaming at the same time. The CPU is placed
in the middle of the motherboard (the shiny square part). It was also one of
the parts that I got for a good deal compared to the prices outside in shops.
The
motherboard I chosen is an ASRock B450m Steel Legend. It has a 6 (4+2) Phase
VRam Design and it has a huge potential for upgradability. It also come with 2
M.2 Slots for expansion and 4 RAM Dimm slots to enable the user to upgrade to a
maximum of 64GB of DDR4 Ram. It also has 2 additional RGB slots for the user to
add more RGB on it as well.
The RAM as
shown is a pair of Corsair vengeance RGB Pro 16GB CL16 3000mhz RAM. I got this
for a decent deal and it runs at 3000mhz which is good as Ryzen CPUs really
love high RAM Speeds due to the infinity fabric. It’s RGB and it makes for a
good upgrade for the future, with 2 additional slots for an upgrade.
Next shown
is the CPU, RAM and Motherboard in the case. The case of choice for this build
is the Tecware Alpha M as the board, which is Micro ATX in nature. The Alpha M
comes with 3 additional fans and it is quite decent for the price. The case
contains 1 USB 3 port, 2 USB type 2 ports, an audio port, a power button and a
reset button.
Next is the
CPU Cooler, an ID-Cooling Frostflow 120mm. It is an AIO, which will help to
keep the CPU cool and lower the temperature. In the same photo above, you can
see that the system comes with 4 fans. Those are Tecware F1 fans which are ARGB
and adjustable to the user’s preference.
The Power
Supply is an FSP Hyper K 500W, supplying the electricity required for the whole
PC. I also included a set of black sleeved cables with the PC as it allows for
nicer aesthetics.
Last, but
not least, shown in the photo is the graphics card. Zotac GTX 1660 Super Twin
Fan 6GB. It is a decent graphics card for 1080p gaming and streaming and it is
good for whomever who is learning how to stream.
After
putting all the parts into the case, we can see that There is enough space to
wire the cables and to make it look pretty. The shiny white/silvery outlook
matches with the black contrast of the graphics card, RAM and cables. There are
also spaces where you can place your 2.5in SSDs for display.
After the Power
Supply plug was plugged in, the two photos above show a pink colour like system.
It shows exactly what I envisioned Psyras to be like: a bard with a pink aura, using
Psychic waves and telepathy. Whereas the RAM signifies her staff she carries, a
rainbow Staff of healing.
The name
Psyras Dreamlite came from the streamer herself, Psychedelic DreameRR. Psyras
comes from Psychic or her first name, and Dreamlite comes from dreamer. As she
seems to know me well and she knows how I felt from time to time, I decided to
add telepathy to her abilities.
I thank
everyone who have been reading this post so far. I hope that there will be more
blog posts of the projects in the future. As the virus is still out there, I
hope that everyone will continue to stay safe and take care.
