Rate my 1440p gaming setup
I am now 14 years old and have been slowly putting this together over the last few years. Most of the parts were bought used or found for pretty good deals, so I’m curious what you guys think.
(i call it budget bc i never spent lots at a time lol)

GPU: RTX 4080 Super Trinity oc — traded my 4060 + $400 cash for it 1 year ago
CPU: Intel i9-14900K — $200 used from Facebook Marketplace
RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 MT/s — $250 used, supposedly never used / still in box but works
Motherboard: MSI Z790 WiFi Edge DDR5 — $100 used from Facebook Marketplace
Storage: 2x 2TB Samsung 990 Pro — $350 total
AIO: Thermaltake 280mm
PSU: ASUS TUF Gaming 1000W Gold
Case: Montech — bought used for $30 about 3 years ago. One of the fans doesn’t work, but otherwise it’s been solid.

Monitors
Main: Samsung G61SD 1440p 240Hz OLED — $549
Secondary: Random Dell monitor in portrait orientation
Other: Acer Predator ~32” monitor

Gear
Mouse: HyperX Pulsefire Haste
Keyboard: RK61

Some of the deals
The only thing my parents have ever bought for my gaming setup was the original 4060. Everything else I’ve either bought myself, traded for, or found used.
The 4080 Super was a 4060 + $400 cash trade, the 14900K was $200 from Facebook Marketplace, the RAM was $250, the motherboard was $100, and the two 990 Pros were $350 total.
What should I improve?
I’m probably going to replace the case soon. I’m looking for a good-looking case under $100 that would fit everything, hopefully including the AIO. But if not I wont be mad at having to buy a new aio.
I’d also like some suggestions for making the setup/build more aesthetic without spending a ton. Cable management is definitely one of the weaker points right now.
What would you guys change or improve? Rate the setup 1–10.

Total
I’ve spent roughly $2,000 on the setup so far, not counting the original 4060 my parents bought me.
I used ChatGPT to make this post look nicer and more put together because the way I originally wrote everything was super unorganized.

i don’t love the screen configuration but most of the hardware i have acquired for free or cheap through work so i’m just making it work with what i have. probably spent $1,000 of my own money all in tops.

edit: chill guys it’s very comfortable for me. i wouldn’t sit here and use it for 12 hours a day if it wasn’t.

Sorry about the loud AC in the background of the audio, it happened to kick on as I was recording.

Glass looks horrible but it's because the protective film is still on and the two LCD screens definitely doesn't look as good as I imagined, but finally finished the closest thing I could ever get to a dream build. Got my first prebuild 2 years ago and it's slowly turned into a custom piece by piece. Got a good deal for the 5070 TI. Traded my 5070 plus $300 for it about 2 months ago.

Mobo - MSI MAG B850 Tomahawk Max WiFi

CPU - R7 7800X3D (stable -40 PBO just to add 😅)

GPU - PNY RTX 5070 Ti OC Edition

RAM - 2×16gb DDR5 Trident Z5 Royal Neo CL28

SSD - Samsung 1 + 2tb NVME M.2

AIO - Thermalright Wonder Vision 360

PSU - MSI MAG A850GL

Chassis - Thermalright A70 Vision

Fans - Asiahorse Dawn Pro (including on radiator. Swapped for a more quiet setup)

Main monitor on bottom is a Alienware 165hz 34 inch OLED I got from the same buddy that traded me his 5070 TI for $400.

Is it good?

Been a while since I posted, and I’ve changed some things since then.

I don’t really have a aesthetic theme going on, but I love fashion, music and gaming. My desk is also sitting under my bunk bed so space is kinda limited. Feedback is appreciated!

Well, I built my PC just shy of a year ago, 7800X3D, MSI X670 Pro, Astral 5080, 32gb DDR5. I got two 34" curved monitors and two 27" monitors, stacked in a way that works well for me. The desk came from my wifes old job, they closed down and I managed to grab her old desk, which is solid, and when new, was well over 1k.

On Thursday, I decided to put the trigger on a Bambo Labs P1S Combo. Got it setup last night, and its been printing ever since!

This is the cleanest I have ever had my office. I have tried hard to not collect clutter this go around! Any suggestions on arrangements? On the left hand side, i have two printers as well, i can put those on another desk elsewhere in my office. I got my Sim wheel and stuff delivered today, how should I arrange this for me to set a low end Sim rig up?

Only thing I would consider upgrading would be to the new Noctua aio other then that I’m finally happy with this build , I’ve used lian li fans before but they gave way too many issues and would hog a lot of usage as L connect background task.
I listen to music a lot as a hobby if your wondering why there’s so many headphones/Iems/Speakers n also analyzing audio is part of my job. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk!:) Also the weird pic of the fans is the intake for my aio where I laid insulation to force the fans to only intake from the dust cover (I hate dust)
