New personal workstation/gaming PC is coming along nicely

Built a custom desk. 7ft by 31 inches with some metal legs that ran me close to $850ish...

Specs so far-
Lian li Razer 011
MAG 570 Tomahawk
Seasonic Focus G-X 1000 watt
EK Elite 360 AIO
9 120 SL Uni fans
Logitech G705 wireless mouse
Logitech G915 wireless keyboard
Kanto YU4 speakers
Steel Series Artic Pro WIreless with external DAC

What I need to get
5900X
GPU
Sabranet Rocket Plus 2tb
Samsung Odyssey G9 monitor 2020 or 2021 model


Dealing with shyt phone camera and didn't feel like pulling out the professional camera.
Lookin spiffy. Still trynna get a 5900x too and the Sabrent nvme ssd gen 4 is outstanding. Got the 1tb as my main boot but I definitely want the 2tb for my games.

3 of my friends finally got a 3080 today from a huge ass best buy drop. If anyone still looking seems like Best buy does big drops once every month. They always drop the cards on tuesday.
I was blessed almost two months ago from best buy on nov 10 with my fe 3080. They're saying all 3080s are going up here on out due to tariffs.

Best buy been pretty legit. They don't hike up on MSRP.


Also, fukk Newegg... I wish they had competition. Everything is wack on there.

I'm glad I don't have to worry about scalpers with m.2 memory. Been having that storage in my amazon bssket for 2 months.

I had an 5950X come in grasp, but I don't need 16 cores. Kind of regreting being stubborn.

i had a 1050 ti low profile in my pc that i bought 2 years ago for 200 dollars, I sold it on ebay last week for 200 I was like :dahell:
I was expecting like 100


Yea sold my 1060 for 200 a couple weeks ago. Had that for over 4 years. These video cards hold their value well.

Also gotta think about it. The "budget" video cards are basically top tier cards for anyone that still doesn't mind 1080p gaming.

I was about to deviate from the plan and to 4x16GB for 64GB, but that costs me more than 2x32GB :picard:. So hell, I'ma press forward with the original plan of 128GB (but probably not all at once :whoa: )
