    Currently building a new PC, most of the ordered components already arrived, still missing some.
    The active PC is not visible in the picture, it's under the desk. On top of the desk are the new components for the new PC.

    i9-13900 KS
    ASUS 4090 TUF OC
    ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-I
    64 GB DDR5 6400
    2 TB FireCuda 530 M.2
    2 TB WD Black SN850X
    MSI MEG Ai1300P
    Noctua NH-U12A
    5x Noctua fans for the case
    Jonsbo D30 µATX case

    Monitor will probably be the Alienware AW3423DWF, 34 inch 3440 x 1440 QD-OLED.
    I will also need a good Headphone Amp / DAC / Power Amp for the Loudspeakers, maybe some new headphones too... haven't decided yet.
    DAC / Amp will be placed where all the boxes are right now.



    New chair is also needed, won't be a gaming chair. I think I'll get the Haworth Fern, it has pretty good reviews. Maybe in some fancy colors too:

    It is literally a laptop with a screen held together with duct tape.
    The laptop has a fried wi-fi thingy (it fries like all wireless tech does after being in my presence for prolongued periods of time, it seems related to one of many familial oddities since other family members have the same effect on tech) so i use an easily replaceable external thingy, usually in the shape of a cheap mobile phone.

    I am unwilling to replace it despite easily being able to.
    Mostly because fancier stuff fries qui
    cker for some reason, in my experience anyhow, whereas shoddy stuff might survive for years.

    I turn all LEDs off, they just distract me.

    GPU 3080Ti, installed just now.

    Also, apparently MSI X670E Carbon has a minor bug of PCI_E3 slot not fucking working so that Sound Blaster does nothing now. MSI moderators send some internal BIOS fix on demand on MSI forums.

    Tilt. Other than that - everything works well. FAN curve out of the box was insane, tornado with probably 50db+. I have to tune it now.

    After seeing some of these builds I have a feeling I will end up buying a new case when I bump up to the Ivybridge series when its released.
