Nice! Was there anything that surprised you when you decided to build it? Did it go smoothely?

[BLAHHOOGIE]

Two things, I thought I may have bitten off more than I could chew when I first did all the wiring for the fans and AIO, but it ended up being a decent management job, for my first rig atleast. 

And I was surprised it powered in first time no problems to be honest haha. 
 

Other then that, it was all plug and play, pretty simple. I’m loving the results!

[GreatnessRD]

Nice rig, congratulations.

[Odyss]

That's a neat looking build, enjoy it!

Nice work man!  That case looks hard to cable manage, and a glass desk makes it even harder to hide cables.  Dealing with cables is my arch nemesis, I've had techsource level setups the past few years but I just can't get the damned cable management down, in and outside the case.

Updates! 
 

So I got on the 2080 hype train! I went out and bought this brand new unopened EVGA 2080 Super FTW3 on offerup for $700. This beast retails for $800! 

Luckily I was able to sell my 2060 super that same day for $350.

 

Will update with photos of install later

A lot better than my first build (and probably still more powerful than my current build!)

 

I know with my first build. there was a few things I'd skimped on, was wondering whether you felt you'd skimped on anything that will be upgraded ASAP?

So I already found myself upgrading my m.2 storage... 512 mb is not even close to enough for all the games I want to try, so I installed an

Adata XPG SX8200 pro 1TB m.2 in there and made it my boot drive as well. Amazing speeds so far.

 

And then I Already upgraded the GPU from a 2060 super to a 2080 super.

 

I think I’ll probably upgrade to 4 channel 64 gig RAM setup a little bit down the line.

Yo nice snag on that! I also got my 1080ti on offer-up for a nice price of 350$ and my 1070ti. Hope the installation goes smoothly!

Well, I may have spoke a little to strong about tech source level, but I had aspirations to get on there if I could ever get the cable management down.  I just redo my setup so often that I can't keep it under control.  I need one of those long hangers under my desk but ikea stopped making them.  Anyways here's my most recent version, I have nick knacks on the desk to remind me of the people I've lost.  Vintage barometer reminds me of my grandfather on my fathers side, bag of buckshot grandfather on my mothers side, "ivory" elephant figurine of my grandmother on my fathers side and the little homie that my best friend at age 5/6 who was murdered a few month's ago gave me 20+ years ago.

This was the machine I thought was worthy but I replaced after it started crashing in full screen.  This was an image right after I got it and it improved after this

UPDATE: So I may be overdoing the build a little bit, but I have decided that I’m going to just make this a balls out build....

 

I installed the 2080 Super along with an ADATA 1TB NVME SSD.

1 week later, I decided that I wanted to go Ryzen 9.... so I went out and bought a 3900x.

While doing the CPU install, I went ahead and cleaned up the wires a bit from the initial building process.
