Building a new computer (lemmy.einval.net)

I'm so excited, I'm finally getting to build my computer that I've been wanting to build, while some parts are already bought, this is essentially my build list:

I've also decided to mount the new monitor I'm getting on the wall with this:

and lastly, I have a Micro Center near me, so I decided to look there for the case:

This is the first time I'm building a higher-end computer for both price and capabilities for its time. I cannot wait for it all to arrive!!!

I looked it over and I think it's great build with decent airflow.

I've had the 5700XT, 6700XT, 6750XT, and 7900XT. The 6700XT is a great card no matter what the reviewers used to say about it. For an "AMD cash grab" I didn't regret replacing the 5700XT with it at all. I'm not sure how well it'll perform at the ultra wide resolution, but I was getting 70-80fps in Cyberpunk 2077 at 1440p with the settings mostly maxed out.

I'm a little jealous. That 7700X is going to smoke whatever you're upgrading away from. I went from an i7 4790k box I built in 2014 to a R7 5800X in 2021 and it completely blew my damn mind. Hopefully this will be one of those unforgettable kind of upgrades. 😀

PS - waiting for parts to arrive is the worst.

Oh god, you have no idea, haha. I should take some Satisfactory screenshots for some before and after, just so you can see what I'm living with right now. Oh! I know, I'll do that right after my new computer is completely set up. :-)
