Let's see your battlestations

Fixed it for you:
Grim_Fandango:
Oooh a lefty!
That's a sleek looking setup you have there.
I'm also liking the monitor and desk. I've a new monitor on its way, I could be swayed into buying a new desk though :)
I'll be mounting the GFX vertically, just waiting on the cable getting here.
It's great playing with all settings cranked up to 11. Harobed really needs someone to trim the grass at the base.
What are you looking to upgrade to?

Yes, I'm a lefty Grim and have to grin and bear the higher iq over righties :)
Thanks for the helpful edit :D
Next up it's a new monitor, a 49" or 55" (Odyssey G9 or Odyssey Ark). I couldn't go back to a non curved screen after my current one. I'll do a lot of research though before taking the plunge and committing.
Then, it's an RTX 5090 once they're available and prices go down a bit. My mouth's watering at the ROG Astral Dhahab because it's gold but I dunno will I ever be able to source it (or how much it will cost).

If I cant get it I'll go for nVidia's Founders Edition as it'll take up a lot less space.
Lastly, a switch to AMD's 9950X3D and a motherboard to go with it but I'm not too pushed about this particular upgrade for now.
I have to check the forums to see if there's a thread to donate old hardware as I tend to have a lot of bits and pieces gathering dust (even Noctua fans I no longer need) :'(

I'm liking the colour scheme you have going on there, Grim and the whiteness of everything (damn you're tidy hehe). For my build I really wanted a white pc with beige noctua fans, but I found it too difficult to source white parts at the time. Any particular reason you went with the Intel cpu this time? (just curiosity) and from my experience, you really can't go wrong with asus mobos - They've lasted me years over the years ;) A job well done by the looks of it, enjoy! ;D
