After the Beast, meet Beauty

Alphabear1978 · August 24, 2020

If you haven't seen my 2 in 1 build (The Beast), it is out there but I'll add one pic here. I just need to take some more pics and should keep a log while building. Anyway that aside. When spouses see all that fancy tech, they keep asking for an upgrade of their system. With some very convincing arguments, I gave in and took the weekend to upgrade the system.

Meet The Beauty. Pictures are a bit rough but you'll get the idea.

This PC is solely used for gaming and some office tasks and still for that it is overkill. Most components are spare parts though, so I better use them instead of stack them in the closet.

Lian-Li O11 Dynamic (my old case. Still by far the best case to build in.)

Motherboard - MSI X570 Meg ACE (my old motherboard, went mini-ITX for my 3950X build and was the obvious choice to reuse.)

CPU - AMD Ryzen 3900X (Open Box at Micro Center for the price of a 3700X, I would have been stupid to let that one slide)

Memory - 32GB of CORSAIR Vengeance RGB PRO 3600Mhz. (3600MhZ is the sweet spot for Ryzen)

500GB + 1TB Samsung 970 EVO Plus

AMD Radeon 5700 + waterblock from Corsair (will be replace by the PowerColor Liquid Devil 5700 XT as I need this card back for myself)

5 Corsair SP120 Fans + 2 Corsair SP140. All creating negative pressure situation. Best way to keep dust and cat hair out of the system.

Bitspower Distro plate + pump

Bitspower fittings.

850W Phanteks Revolt PRO 80 Plus Gold

Last pic in the series is from The Beast (Ryzen 3950X and TR1950X cramped in one case).
