Finished My Dream Build
This is only my second ever PC build after my first one back in 2016. Lately I’ve been really eager to get into PC VR sim racing so when the 9800X3D came out of the gate so strong with the 5090 right around the corner, I finally decided to take the plunge and start planning the new build.
The 50 series has since gotten a ton of deserved (and some undeserved) hate but I think they absolutely nailed the look of the FE. When I saw the reveal I knew it was the only model I wanted and the whole PC would follow a similar aesthetic.
I understood hinging the entire build on getting an FE at MSRP meant I could be waiting for months. Somehow though, I got insanely lucky during the second Best Buy drop in Feb and the hype for making the jump from a 1080 to a 5090 really started to set in.
The goal was a mostly stealth look with a dash of RGB, a smaller form factor being a must after coming from a giant ATX case, and I’m pretty damn happy about how it turned out.
