I think they have the option to not have paddle shift. Honestly won’t even need a shifter or the e-brake, I want iracing for the sprint cars, midgets, usac’s and late models. Late model would be the only thing that would require a shifter I believe.

Correct on the single 27in, but I definitely would like to get an ultra wide monitor. I think I’d like that better then the 3 screens. Going to look into upgrading the monitor after I get my pedals, steering wheel, wheel base, shifter and e-brake. I’m a fan of the fanatec stuff and will most likely buy their sim stuff.

I tried that but There is actually a shroud that isn’t in the case during the photos, it covers the holes that I think your talking about. Shroud covers the PSU and HDD. There is only one “cable management” hole that isn’t being used I’m pretty sure.

Budget (including currency): $3500-$4000 Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Battle royale’s, iracing, streaming and video editing What do you guys think? I’ve received everything except for my PSU (shipping says Thursday) and the GPU obviously since it’s not released yet. I just hope I’ve hooked everything up right so far, this is my first build but I’ve done quite a bit of video watching and did some reading up on what I need to do. The manuals for my MB and CPU Cooler were like jibberish to me when it came to wiring and the few videos I did find on my MB kind of helped but this being my first rodeo n all I don’t feel all that confident, I’m gonna attach some photos so maybe someone can give me some input if I’ve done everything right. I already had the monitor, I purchased it a while back and figure it’s still pretty good for now. Will my PSU be enough for the 3080? I should have got a bigger case, the radiator and fans for my CPU Cooler kind of cover up a small portion of the top of the MB (the portion that has the little read out screen) but I can still see it I just have to look under the radiator and fans. Pictures below. Did I bite off more than I can chew for a first build? Any input is greatly appreciated especially in the wiring department!

Yeah of course I cleaned up, I haven’t installed the cooler yet because I wanted some input before I went ahead and did it. Thanks guys I appreciate it.

I’ve got everything except for the GPU and psu, psu is on back order at the moment which isn’t a problem since I’ve got to wait for my GPU anyhow.

I smudged the pre applied thermal paste on my cpu cooler and I’m not sure if I should just clean it off and re-apply or will it be fine? First build so I’m trying to do it right, I assume everyone is gonna tell me to just clean and re-apply but ya never know. Thanks in advance.

Ok cool, yeah I went with those crucial ballistix and the psu is on back order but that fine since I’m waiting for a aftermarket 30 series to drop. Until then I continue to play my PS4 and One X. I went ahead and update my list above and it’s all been ordered except for the gpu, soo excited and can’t wait.

I actually went with crucial ballistix 3600mhz (2x16) for now, also I was looking at the qvl for the motherboard and I found the Corsair rm650x on the list but will a rm850x still work? I ordered the 850 but it’s on back order so I can still change it if I need to.

I’ll look into it ASAP. I also was looking into the Corsair Hydro series H100i RGB Platinum SE and to be honest that’s probably what I might go with. Kind of want the Corsair aesthetics with the white and RGB, the other case I am looking into would match up perfectly. It’s the Corsair Carbide SPEC-OMEGA in white/black.

For your first point, I will look into that ASAP. For your second point, no I probably don’t need 5TB of total storage but on the other hand with how big games are becoming I’d rather not run out. Just thinking about the future so hopefully I won’t have to upgrade it for quite some time if at all. And for your last point, I don’t understand what you mean by that.

Budget : $2500 - $3000 Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Streaming, Warzone, Fortnite, Final Fantasy 14, IRacing, etc. This is not set in stone yet. I’ve been trying to cram soooo much information into my head that it’s becoming extremely exhausting. Seeing as this is my first PC build I knew very little about the parts but I’ve been doing a lot of research trying to narrow down what I’m really looking for. This is what I’ve come up with as to what I think I’m looking for and all suggestions will be taking into account. Will everything work together? I’ve tried pcpartsbuilder and Newegg to come up with this parts list but that can only get me so far because at the start of this I wasn’t very savvy with the parts. Please give me some input on what I should maybe change and what I should expect out of this build. You’ll see that I’m really leaning towards waiting 13 days for the Ampere 3080 to be released because from what I could find on it, it will be around $700 and roughly twice as the power of a RTX 2080 ti. I may be wrong or misinformed and if that’s the case please let me know if that’s a good idea or what I should do. You’ll also notice I do not have a power supply selected, that’s another spot I could use some guidance. I’d like to have everything ordered in the next few days except for the GPU of course. Any and all suggestions are very appreciated and I thank you in advance.
