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?

It's about time I posted here, this is the setup I built about 2 years ago (couldn't post the pics (as a nab))...

CoolerMaster HAF 700 EVO E-ATX Case
Corsair AX-1600i Titanium PSU
ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Hero MBD
Intel Core i9 14900K CPU (6.2GHz OC)
ASUS ROG Ryujin II 360 AIO Cooler
64GB Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 6000 MT/s RAM
1x2TB Sabrent Rocket 5 PCIe5 NVME SSD (OS)
2x2TB Sabrent Rocket 5 PCIe5 NVME SSD (Raid 0) (Games)
3x2TB Kingston Fury Renegade PCIe4 NVME SSD (Internal Storage)
ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4090 OC
Microsoft Windows 11 Pro (meh it's been a nightmare on and off)

Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 32" Curved 4K 240Hz Monitor
Razer Huntsman v2 Optical Keyboard
Razer Viper v3 Pro Mouse
Razer Atlas Glass Mouse Mat
Sony HT-A7000 7.1.2ch Dolby Atmos/DTS:X Soundbar
SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless Headset
ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE 11000 Wi-Fi 6E Router
Secret Lab Magnus Pro XL Desk

I thought I should show it as it is before I change/upgrade again.  The photos don't do the PC justice as it's all gold lit (camera colours are off) with gold trim on black.  Sometimes I turn off the LEDs as I can take it or leave it :)  Oh, and I play UT2004 in 4K Ultra settings to make it worth my while having the PC in the first place heh.

Aye, IDE cables were even worse. I only realised the holes in the metal plate where the mobo is mounted are cable runs (in the last decade). I was a bit slow mentally!
Hope you get it sorted soon Grim.

Ordered an air purifier from amazon last year. They accidentally sent two instead of one. In effect it was buy one get one free, in the end. They didn't want the second one back.

It won't be running any warmer than room temp' for a while yet as Amazon have again sent 3 x cables instead of 3 x case fans...f'n nuggets!!!

Yeah. I wouldn't go Intel unless I wanted to use it in place of a boiler to heat my house.

I used to opt for AMD chips when building a machine, as AMD were traditionally better suited to gaming and Intel fared better at number crunching tasks, but either would be more than enough for my needs.

I hate to bring the bad news, but since 13th gen(2022 i think) Intel is good only for heating and electricity generation.

Everything should have been here by now, but Amazon sent cables instead of case fans...TWICE!!!
They also sent the PSU with a Euro plug rather than UK, and I've had to buy the CPU from Currys Business as Amazon have let me down with delivery.  I'm not concerned though, as those nice customer service agents at Amazon are doing the needful and have told me not to worry.  Bezos can bite me!

I hated the bad old days of having a vipers nest of cables inside the case.  As well as restricting airflow, the molex and sata cables were an eyesore.  Shouldn't be an issue on this case, as it's dual compartment and the PSU is kept separate from the MoBo, GFX etc.  Only problem with that is that the case is a PSU's depth fatter than a regular case as it mounts on the side rather than at the back.

The GFX card arrived today.  I haven't take it out of it's ESD wrapper yet as I don't want it covered in drool.

If this doesn't up my game, I'm going back to MS Solitaire :)
