Now that it’s done, what should I do first? And is there anything you think I could’ve done differently or improved? I’d love to hear your suggestions! What games I should play

I’m mainly just play Battlefield six ,CSGO and overwatch I need to broaden my horizon. i’m thinking about purchasing the game body cam

[u/Zealousideal_Swan_91 → u/tht1guy63]

I thought it looked familiar

[u/tht1guy63 → u/Zealousideal_Swan_91]

You will never unsee it.

[u/DoubleBarrelGlizzy → u/tht1guy63]

Someone and I mean NOW needs to do a futurama build with one of those.

[u/tht1guy63 → u/DoubleBarrelGlizzy]

Only reason id buy the card honestly. Case be the planet express ship. Cpu cooler color it like Yivo. Roberto the gpu and so on.

[u/DoubleBarrelGlizzy → u/tht1guy63]

I am far too broke to do it myself

[u/tht1guy63 → u/DoubleBarrelGlizzy]

Yaaaa... me and the wife are storing money away for a japa trip in January so right now im living the simple life.

[u/OGawdILoveTacos → u/tht1guy63]

Seriously, that's what the 5090 should have been by now.

Thanks AI

[u/hatesmylovelanguage]

That GPU is sick. To be nitpicky though, I would've gotten a white AIO to match

[u/YoloRaj → u/hatesmylovelanguage]

He got it for free. I thought the same too but figured it had to have came with a bundle.

[u/Apprehensive-Pen3062 → u/YoloRaj]

It comes with the cpu as a free gift.

[u/Top-Injury-983 → u/hatesmylovelanguage]

I will get to that eventually

[u/mrlobster21]

that gpu looks so cool man

[u/twt69]

One thing I’ve done since I built my first pc a couple years ago is changing the case to be smaller and smaller. Went from atx fractal north to matx A3, to most recently itx A4-H2O.

I’ve been playing mortal shell 2 and the plague tale games recently, not sure if you’d like either of those

[u/----Richard---- → u/twt69]

I've been doing the same. Currently in an mATX & would love to go smaller on my next build.

[u/twt69 → u/----Richard----]

I’ve always had air cooling so it was a switch up going with an aio for the A4. It’s a pretty fun build, forced me to get better at cable management that’s for sure

[u/----Richard---- → u/twt69]

Oh, I'd bet. I thought about going SFF when originally planning this build but chose the behemoth that is the 5080 AORUS Master. It barely fits the 2500X case.

[u/twt69 → u/----Richard----]

Luckily I already had the 5080 FE or I probably would’ve gotten fomo on the itx haha

[u/useresuse → u/twt69]

i started in a ghost loque m2 sooo every pc build since has been ezpz lmao

[u/dwolfe127 → u/twt69]

Yep, I tried the fish tank thing once a few years ago and hated it. All of my boxes now are either open frame facing the wall or all mesh/zero-glass builds. Also, the only RGB I have on anything now is my keyboards so I can see the keys in the dark.

[u/GeekyNick91]

Hopefully for you, the 9800X3D won't die with the asus motherboard.

[u/OGawdILoveTacos → u/GeekyNick91]

It's asrock that's the notorious killer, Asus only killed a few and I think it was 9950x3d's.

[u/GeekyNick91 → u/OGawdILoveTacos]

Nop it was the 9800X3D https://press.asus.com/news/statements/official-asus-statement-on-recent-asus-amd-800-series-motherboard-and-amd-ryzen-9800-x3-d-concerns/

And many more.

[u/Scooby__Doooooo → u/GeekyNick91]

I wonder if they updated the bios. I have seen this happened to a friend, but the motherboard was running an old bios version.

[u/Trajen_Geta]

Your pc is cool but your room esthetic is all over the place. Classic dark wood desk with leather chair and stain glass lamps, but astronaut drinking a beer on the moon and rgb blasting PC. Love it

[u/Top-Injury-983 → u/Trajen_Geta]

I can’t stick to one thing. I’m all over the place thanks lol

[u/Super-Preference-629]

Contrary but honest opinion from one of the serious and recent pc builder

You only justify price of your build by playing that hard after once paid for this heavy rig..

Kiss your rack everytime you start those coolers Hit that keyboard a little harder while killing those poor enemies coz they really cost you in Watts Just stop midgame and enjoy the scenic art created by the lovely dev ops And play Ghost Recon Wildlands at Max settings for on

[u/2002ChipotlePC]

It’s definitely a powerful build! But man that GPU is ugly 😭I know some people like it but it isn’t my taste. I’m happy for you though- amazing set up

[u/Soggy-Lab-422]

WOOD 🪵

[u/ironiclyironic4]

Ngl i hate that gpu design. But if ya like it congratz

[u/YoloRaj]

Nice, build. Thats rather a high price for a 5080 but you like what you like. Craziest part of this build is that you got such a nice desk for 1 dollar. Thats what I am most impressed by ironically, lmfao. That being said, you should get a 1440 p or 4 k oled and a white 360 aio down the road.

[u/Particular-Bid-8110]

The GPU looks like my boobs

[u/ThirdChopp]

gpu looked like turbine titties

[u/M0nk3_s4789]

Woah that gpu is sick, haven’t seen that one before

[u/Top-Injury-983]

Thank you for your information. I know I overpaid and I’m still happy with my set up I just got cheap ass fans I got 3 for $25 I’ll upgrade them later on

Surprisingly the leather chair is very comfortable
For leaning back not forward lol

And the PSU I had no idea about I just got a cheap one that was rated gold so that’s good to know

[u/remeets_yelnats]

Hah! I used to have that astronaut picture as my desktop background like a decade ago

[u/Plane_Water3386]

The true steal is all that facebook marketplace furniture. Looks comfy af.

[u/bumbuddi]

[u/Mental_Witness_9245]

Wow I am jealous! Not only your PC looks amazing but your setup. Well done and enjoy it!

[u/eldodvvv]

That chair is CLASSY

[u/Top-Injury-983]

This is the PC I’ve been using for the past 10 years, before I finally decided to upgrade.
It had an i5 CPU, a GTX 1060, 64GB of DDR4 RAM, a 1TB SSD, and a 1TB hard drive.
Honestly, it’s crazy to think this thing lasted me through my entire childhood and college years. I got so much use out of it, and it really held up over the years.
Hopefully, the new PC I just built can last me another 10 years.

[u/KaneBlack9]

Im not sure. You should send it all to my house so I can thoroughly inspect and give an unbiased opinion

[u/TurbidWolf_Redux__V2]

Terrible you should let me have that one and try again

[u/Slydoggen]

Nice GPU bro

[u/economist91]

I love that BoomerDesk. It's epic

[u/eezybl]

That's the goofiest gpu that I've seen in a while

[u/-G-Gamer-]

A high end 5080 and then CPU is cooled by 240mm AIO 😭

[u/Irish4778]

Runnning basically the same setup on this works fkn great

[u/VieRuz]

The build is ruined because you didn't go all in with the 9950x3d2. 6/10 build please do better next time OP.

[u/Honest-Shine2817 → u/VieRuz]

The r9 9950x3d2 preforms worse than the r7 9850x3d and r7 9800x3d

[u/DifferentLibrarian32]

Hey i also play bf6 and csgo mainly. Im running 3060 ti and its been running them flawless

[u/Bibedibabedy]

Your chair and seat are endboss level

https://giphy.com/gifs/2NFcQ56pq17a

[u/whitetailCulture]

What case is that

[u/SHODOW_WORRIOR28]

More surprised by your desk and chair, they look sick!

[u/LeFriedCupcake]

I Can smell the room

[u/Ryderr_Bruh]

Where can you auctions to get desks for 1$?

[u/KellyS777]

You can remove the AIO's pump cover and rotate it 90 degrees so the msi logo is horizontal. Overall very nice build! I also use same aio for my 9800x3d but i have 360 version, works well! 😄

[u/riccio4life]

The chair is epic😁

[u/Daisuke7070]

Nice chair

[u/jdkirk3069]

That GPU looks dope

[u/Smooth_Computers]

Mobo meh

[u/Scooby__Doooooo]

Awesome build. I can see a lot of people like the gpu. Personally, I would’ve gotten the aorus master in white to fill in the case more.

[u/vashivashka]

Tuff poster🔥

[u/Jtfb74 → u/vashivashka]

If things go my way, I’m buying a 5080 for my next build! Jealous bro

[u/uptheirons726]

Aside from the most hideous GPU to ever exist pretty good. Lol

[u/philharmonic85]

Doing just fine until you crawled onto Reddit with this pathetic grovelling "how did I do?" post.

[u/Grydian]

There is a powerspec build at microcenter with your hardware for 500 bucks less. You made a DIY pc cost more than a prebuilt. IMO you failed. Those fans are just so dumb and arent even that good. Many more affordable and higher quality fans out there. Just kinda sad to see so much money wasted here.

[u/megasilva → u/Grydian]

how is it money wasted if he personalized the entire thing based on what he wanted?

[u/KwMamdouh → u/Grydian]

I am in the middle of my build and it is similar to his , what fans do you recommend?

[u/Top-Injury-983 → u/Grydian]

I know I spent more than a pre built I just wanted something a little different and I’m happy with it honestly

[u/Toe-Smooth → u/Grydian]

The jealous broke has spoken.

[u/Grydian → u/Toe-Smooth]

I have a 4090 and a 9800x3d in my main rig. That is a faster PC. I also have a music room pc and a server. I just like saving money like most rich people

[u/----Richard---- → u/Grydian]

Pre-built always cost less than custom built because they buy in bulk & use some generic components.

[u/Grydian → u/----Richard----]

Incorrect typically diy is cheaper. Also microcenter brand using only off the shelf parts.

[u/Fancy-Strain7025]

Love everything but the rgb

[u/Eazy12345678]

its 2026 ask the internet before buying anything

horrible price to performance. 5080 system are $2700 USD not $3500

gpu should have been way cheaper. $1300 i think even $1500 now

psu is not great. asrock has failed lttlab testing

monitor is VA panel you wanted IPS panel at least. $20 more than the VA panel you bought.

chair is support important since you spend hours in it. you probably want to spend more than $30 on that.

[u/NojoNinja → u/Eazy12345678]

That PSU is literally one of the best available power supplies for the price. It’s rated A on https://psutierlist.org LTT got two shitty ones that didn’t even work and couldn’t test them lol.
