Hey guys,

It's an order from a few months ago, but I've only recently got round to really using it. Here's the spec:

Case
CORSAIR OBSIDIAN SERIES 500D SE CASE
Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12 Core CPU
Motherboard
ASUS® TUF X570-Plus Gaming
Memory (RAM)
32GB Corsair VENGEANCE RGB PRO DDR4 3200MHz (4 x 8GB)
Graphics Card
12GB ASUS ROG STRIX GEFORCE RTX 3080 Ti - HDMI, DP
1st M.2 SSD Drive
1TB SAMSUNG 980 PRO M.2, PCIe NVMe (up to 7000MB/R, 5000MB/W)
2nd M.2 SSD Drive
2TB SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS M.2, PCIe NVMe (up to 3500MB/R, 3300MB/W)
Power Supply
CORSAIR 1200W HX SERIES™ MODULAR 80 PLUS® PLATINUM, ULTRA QUIET
Processor Cooling
Corsair H115i ELITE CAPELLIX RGB HYDRO SERIES HIGH PERFORMANCE CPU COOLER (I switched out the pump cap for the Corsair branded version)
Monitor
ASUS PG279Q. 2560x1440. IPS. 144hz.

I have tactically taken the picture as to hide my under-desk cable management. No, not because it looks like a crime scene, it's to protect you lot from being envious of my exceptional cable management. /s

Before I get told off for having too poor of a monitor for such a card, I'm waiting for the Black Friday deals. I also have a beautiful LG CX OLED panel downstairs, which can push the card to its limits, so fear not. You lot won't talk me into a G9 either, I'm not having it! :ROFLMAO:

I hope you lot enjoy it as much as I do!

You've got a lovely Room/Desk/Rig there!!

Haha! This will be a similar post to what I will post in a few weeks.

Received my 5900x/RTX3090/Lian Li Dynamic DXL PCSpecialist PC in May but life got in the way and some PC and Desk plans changed too and I still haven't been able to finish it and use it with all the other parts I bought elsewhere...which is doubly frustrating because even if I hadn't been able to use it but just left it humming away unattended in a corner for the last 6 months Ethereum Mining it would have paid for half the cost of the uber expensive GPU already but unfortunately it had to stay in its Box!!

Similar situation with the monitor. I have an LG 34" Ultrawide 3440x1440@60hz monitor and expect the 'Mooarrrr Hertz!!!' brigade to get on my case about it, but I did very little monitor flat gaming even with my last PC and 60hz looks fine to me, (Can't miss what you've never experienced), but most relevant is that 99% of my gaming is in VR anyway.
