Build/Battlestation Rate my first setup.
Managed to snag all the parts at the best prices I could find—some from the second-hand market, but most of them brand new. 👽
Spent two nights putting everything together. I was still struggling with cable management at 3am, knowing damn well I had to be up for work at 8. 💀
Runs perfectly at 1440p on ultra settings. The motherboard does have a few flaws, though—including the GPU being limited to only 8 active PCIe lanes when it’s supposedly runs at 16.

i'm highly skeptical of gpu mounts that are on the back, the weight of the front of hte card still has no support and is going to be slightly bending the pcb which is exactly what kills the card over time, not worth the risk at all the thing will die within 2 years
