I was going to use this for Cad / Solidworks from home along with some gaming rig due to non-essential status in 2020. It eventually became solely a gaming rig. I started with a Ryzen 7 3700 X and a MSI RX 580. The 580 turned into a Sapphire RX 6700 XT Nitro + and the 3700X turned into a 5800X. I came across some more deals and ended up with a Ryzen 9 5900 X and an EVGA RTX 3080 Ti XC3 Ultra with a hybrid CLC kit. I've added a 2 TB Crucial MX500 SSD to the original 2 Samsung 970 EVO plus NVMEs 500 GB and a 1 TB and just recently the new EVGA CLX 360 AIO and a 1300W P+ PSU for some GPU future proofing...LOL. It was originally supposed to be a $1200 build in Nov of 2020 with a Ryzen 7 3700 X and a 3070 at best, but Ethereum happened along with Covid so now here I am at 3 times the money I wanted to spend on a work at home occasionally rig.

Thanks. I am still running cables atm. The EVGA CPU AIO will have the tube spacers as well but the ones I had are too big (13 mm) need 11mm like the GPU AIO tubes. I am currently in the process of adding a copper plate to the 3080 Ti for better thermals so I did not have everything buttoned back up in those last 2 pictures.

Love the progression - beautifully done!

I had a similar project back then that turned into a monster of a PC as well. Yours looks much better than mine, though, even though I do like the all black and almost no RGB look of mine.

I really like how the build turned out. I like the white and black theme, well done.

Did similar during the shutdown. Started with an i5-10 series and RTX 2060, then to an i7-11700k, RTX 3060, then a 5950x, then a 6900xt and then a 3080ti. Planning on a 7900 XTX next, probably hold off on the next gen CPUs for the time being.

It’s about as addictive as modifying cars. My wife is none too pleased lol
