Well, after exactly 3 months since my pc has been delivered here I am bringing you my experience with PCS. I wish I had the chance to post it before but between some little upgrades, work and heavy sessions of gaming I didn't had the time š.
Let's start with a thanks on the guy's who have worked on this build :

I order the pc after posting here the specs asking for some suggestions. Some people suggested me to go for a 3060 as the 6700xt was more aimed for 1440p gaming, but I stick with my first choice, and honestly I don't have regrets. I've just replaced all the fans pre installed on the Cooler Master Td500 Mesh with 4 Cooler Master Halo, add a Wd_Black SN 750 of 500gb with heatsink and I just let pass the gpu cable from the bottom as the way it was placed was completely covering the graphic card. This are the full specs:

So, what I can say, the overall experience was pretty good, pc ordered on the 18th of May and was delivered in Dublin on the 14th of June, if I'm not wrong should be in total 15 working days, so building process time was respected. The package arrived in mint condition, the setup was pretty easy, I did not get any Windows pre installed, but the pc came with an unlicensed version and I had just to activate with my own key.
Now, let's talk about the gpu. When I first saw it I was a bit upset, I was expecting something else as I read some reviews from other costumers and they get other custom Rx 6700 xt, but after 3 months I'm pretty happy. Maybe is not the most beautiful gpu to see at first sight, is not an OC version, but I can't complain at all about performance, the Powercolor Rx 6700 xt Hellhound is the perfect gpu for whoever is only looking for gaming and some basic video editing. I'd say especially for gaming! With the right settings through the Radeon software, even if is not an OC version, you can push it and obtain better performance. Another thing I love of this card is about temperatures, it's really hard that goes over 60Ā° degrees, every time I check during a gaming session, even after 2/3 hours no stop it's always in there around 55/56Ā°.
About the cable management... It was perfect, unfortunately after I replaced the fans I wasn't able to do the same neat and tidy job. But it's OK, I mean is in the covered side of the case so who's gonna see it? š
Anyway guy's, what I can say, it was my first experience and the guy's from PCS made me happy. I attach some pics of what looks like my pc right now. Have a good day guy's šŖ
