4000$ and still no 5900x?

Better hope your reaserch doesnt need alot of cores or ram

Spoiler

4000$ but no 5900x or 64gb of ram

Srry just had to poke at the rather low spec for the budget, just enjoy your machine, plus you can still upgrade the cpu later anyways

Looks nice but the fans being mounted with the stickers not displayed in the same direction causes my OCD to flare up.

It was between the 5900x and 5800x and my budget was a strict $4,000 (had to buy my 3080 from a scalper for $1,200)...it would have put me over unfortunately. 32GB RAM is plenty, my last build had 64GB and it was a complete waste (for my uses), and likely the 5900x would have been overkill as well. The entire build is still over the top (keyboard / cable alone are $500 by themselves.)

I also just dropped another $500 on Forza 4 Ultimate, G29, Shifter and Pedal setup which is due to arrive soon....so overall I'm happy with my choice to save a bit of money not getting the 5900x / 64GB.

I noticed that too late, I may fix it later....it's hidden behind my monitors so I can't see it everyday ha
