Budget (USD): $10,000+ Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Games: Apex Legends, Call of Duty Warzone/MW2, Escape from Tarkov, Planetside 2, Minecraft, Combat Arms, etc. Programs: Fusion 360, Adobe Premiere Pro, etc. Use Case: Dual Dedicated Systems System 1 is for Gaming, Video Editing, and CAD while System 2 is for Streaming, video storage for my YouTube channel and a backup for gaming in the event System 1 dies. Other details: Justification for Redundancy: During the last few tournaments for AFG (Air Force Gaming) & SFG (Space Force Gaming) my system would die and eventually was fried due to an electrical overload in my apartment (It was a blessing and a cure in disguise) Systems: Case: Phanteks Elite Fans: 2x Corsair RGB LL 140 System 1: CPU: AMD 7950X Motherboard: ROG X670E Extreme (ATX) RAM: G-Skill Trident Z5 RGB 6000Mhz 32GB (2x16GB) CL32 GPU: 7900XTX (Will purchase on release date) Storage: 1x Samsung 980 Pro M.2 2TB (Gen 4) PSU: Seasonic 1600W Prime TX Cooling: CPU Block: Thermaltake Pacific XM2 GPU Block: EK-Quantum (Not released yet but will get one) Radiator: 2x EK-Quantum X-420M Fans: 6x Corsair RGB LL 140 Reservoir/Pump: Byski Elite w/D5 Fittings: Byski 16mm Tubing: Thermaltake Clear PETG 16mm (Hard) Coolant: EK Cryofuel Solid Neon Green System 2: CPU: 7950X Motherboard: ROG X670E-I (Mini-ITX) RAM: G-Skill Flare X5 5600Mhz 32GB (2x16GB) CL36 (It was free w/CPU) Storage: 1x Western Digital Black M.2 1TB (Gen 4) 2x Seagate Barracuda 8TB HDDs (16TB) PSU: Seasonic 1000W Prime TX (Ignore the gold PSU as it's a placeholder until the new one arrives) Cooling: CPU Block: Thermaltake Pacific XM2 Radiator: 1x EK-Quantum X-420M Fans: 4x Corsair RGB LL 140 Reservoir/Pump: EK-Quantum 140 w/D5 Fittings: Byski 16mm Tubing: Thermaltake Clear PETG 16mm (Hard) Coolant: EK Cryofuel Solid Neon Green Capture Card: Elgato 4K 60 Pro Explanation on certain parts: Graphics card: I wanted a card that is compatible with newer displays coming out over the next few years. I also don't want to spend $1600 on a 4090 for a variety of reasons (current problems with power, DP 1.4a, etc). In addition I wanted more supported refresh rates for future standards. I currently have 2x ROG 4K curved 100hz displays and could only use about 59hz on both. System 2 graphics: I will use onboard graphics as I won't be playing any games on it and if system 1 dies I will unplug the 7900XTX (which will be mounted to a vertical bracket) and plug it into system 2. Why am I going with AM5? I wanted a system for future upgradability, since AM5 is so new I hope they will support it with new processsors over the next few years as AM4 won't be getting any new CPUs. Support for PCI-E 5.0, allowing for more upgradability for future storage drives and graphics cards (system 1 has 2 M.2 and 2 16 slots for gen 5 while System 2 has 1 and 1. I won't be doing much more building on this PC until closer to the 7900XTX launch because I recently had a screw put in the middle of my right hand palm and can't use it that much as I'm recovering and doing physical therapy in which I'm not allowed to even hold a the weight of a pencil my doctor said. I love gaming and streaming despite not getting more views than I can count on my broken hand but enjoy it none the less. I will finally be able to make better content as I will be able to actually use my system and peripherals to there full capabilitie, hopefully I learn how to be more entertaining like Linus. I will definitely need to find a co-worker to help me lift the case to it's final spot as it's already at around 150+lbs and don't want to break anything. Attached you will find the current state of the PC also know as project AMF (I used the name AMF because I would make AMFs but with a twist of green schnapps instead of Blue lacroix). Green is also in my logo as Gost1o1 and will be the coolant in this system. I might consider mining when I'm not using the PC as I pay a flat rate for all utilities at my apartment lol .
