I’m so excited, I’m finally getting to build my computer that I’ve been wanting to build, while some parts are already bought, this is essentially my build list:

I’ve also decided to mount the new monitor I’m getting on the wall with this:

and lastly, I have a Micro Center near me, so I decided to look there for the case:

This is the first time I’m building a higher-end computer for both price and capabilities for its time. I cannot wait for it all to arrive!!!

    I looked it over and I think it’s great build with decent airflow.

    I’ve had the 5700XT, 6700XT, 6750XT, and 7900XT. The 6700XT is a great card no matter what the reviewers used to say about it. For an “AMD cash grab” I didn’t regret replacing the 5700XT with it at all. I’m not sure how well it’ll perform at the ultra wide resolution, but I was getting 70-80fps in Cyberpunk 2077 at 1440p with the settings mostly maxed out.

    I’m a little jealous. That 7700X is going to smoke whatever you’re upgrading away from. I went from an i7 4790k box I built in 2014 to a R7 5800X in 2021 and it completely blew my damn mind. Hopefully this will be one of those unforgettable kind of upgrades. 😀

    PS - waiting for parts to arrive is the worst.

      Oh god, you have no idea, haha. I should take some Satisfactory screenshots for some before and after, just so you can see what I’m living with right now. Oh! I know, I’ll do that right after my new computer is completely set up. :-)
