    New build: The beast lives

    Just finished building a new PC last night. Got everything hooked up on the desk and cable-managed. Specs below



    CPU: i7 9700k @ 3.6 GHz
    RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB @ 3200 MHz
    GPU: Gigabyte AORUS GeForce RTX 2070 Super
    Motherboard: MSI MPG Z390 Carbon AC
    Storage: 2x 1TB NVME SSDs
    PSU: Corsair RM 850x
    Cooling: Corsair H100i Platinum RGB
    Case: Corsair Crystal 680x
    Mouse: Logitech G403 Wireless
    Keyboard: Logitech G910
    Mousepad: Razer Goliathus Chroma Extended
    Speakers: Logitech G560
    Headphones: Logitech G933 Artemis Spectrum
    Headphone Stand: Corsair ST100 RGB
    Misc: LL120 fans, Elgato Steamdeck for macros, Blue Yeti on a swivel arm, Corsair Commander Pro driving the lighting, Corsair lightstrips in the case and behind the desk. Lian Li Strimer ATX and PCIE extension cables.

    Can I slam your system? I'm gonna slam your system.
    32gb of ram is overkill
    NVMe storage is (depending on which ones you buy) a waste of money and should be spend buying more reliable SATA SSDs instead. There's no real-world performance gains outside of some games
    PSU is overkill
    The 680x is mediocre at best, a LianLi PC o11 dynamic is better. In every way. It's half the price and better airflow.


    Also blue is a bad colour and you should feel bad
    And we have this thread for showing off: https://www.mmo-champion.com/threads...r-gaming-setup!

    That's cool, I'll slam your slamming. 32GB of ram is baseline. NVME is just something you probably don't have so you're jealous. The o11 dynamic is a nice case but it's not anywhere near as nice for cable management. Also you are wrong and should feel bad about your wrongness.

    Also thanks for the link to the setup thread ;-)
