Finally shipped. Should be here Saturday. Ordered the extra 1TB m.2 and 16gb more ram. Dual monitors here already stand coming this week too.


Also consider investing in better power surge protection to protect your gaming rig. $2k system on a $10 power strip is not always ideal, but anything protected is better than connecting straight to the wall. Look up sinewave UPS (APC or Cyberpower) for more stable and cleaner currents, avoid simulated sinwave (read the fine print). This is really only an issue when power switches to battery and back, but mostly fine otherwise. Review the specs/data sheets, and reseach a bit more if you have questions.

Thanks. I had a cyber power will def get a new one. My electrical for my room is it’s own circuit and brand new wiring. But still could be an issue at the main of course. Gonna protect this anyway I can lol

Nice build. Also consider: Samsung 980 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, or the comparable WD Black SN850. Look up benchmarks for the SSDs to compare. Remember to update motheboard BIOS and SSD firmware immedietly, if updates available.


I went with Sabrent on the second drive. Both are 5000mb instead of the 980s 7000 speed. Saved myself a good chunk of money and got more storage. I don’t think I need super fast only really game lol

The only thing that really bothers me and it's not a real problem, is the fact that radiator and fan orientation. That is uncommon...

The fan is going to either move the heat out or move the cool in. The way it's mounted, it seems it's going to bring heat in...heat from the center of the case and pushing it out back.

Looking at the fans again, is the entire air flow going from left to right? So cool air being sucked in from the back and hot air blowing out from the front?

The 2 front fans are intakes. The radiator fan is an exhaust out.

Had to disassemble the PC, 2 of the Motherboard standoffs were not installed properly and they stripped the screws, re-did all the stand offs and new screws.
Also the CPU AIO Bracket was not installed properly on the rear of the motherboard, resolved that too.

Added 1 more fan for top exhaust 140MM AERGB 2, changed the Rad fan to a AERGB 2 120MM
Added UpHere GPU RGB Bracket
