watercooled Electric Violet: I finally stopped settling and built my dream PC

This has been an excellent experience, start to finish. I learned a ton, messed up a bunch, but at the end of the day I have a machine that I am excited to sit down in front of and game on, produce and edit with, and have as a showpiece and something to be proud of.

Here is the PCPartPicker list.

Sure, the 3800X isn't the best processor on the market, but it has been really fun to overclock and I am very pleased with its performance. Without going into too much detail, the AMD platform has a little bit of sentimental value for me being the processor I was given by a friend (an R5 1600) in a bad part of my life and brought me back to PC gaming and into a spectacular hobby and excellent community.

I'm happy to finally call this build complete. Thank you all for coming on this journey with me, and I look forward to discussing it with all of you in the comments!

Beautiful rig. I recently built mine and kinda wish I'd have gone water cooling. I love Noctua and they do a decent job but there's just something about a slick watercooled build like yours that really stands out!
