Need help making changes to my rig!

[casanova creed]

Hello all, I'm looking to update the aesthetics of my gaming PC. I have a 3 slot GPU, the RTX 3090FE, and a Corsair Crystal 680x case. I'm using the very bottom bracket for an NZXT under-glow kit, and I want to Vertically mount my GPU. Are there any 3slot vertical mount kits that don't use all the slots, because I can't give up the bottom one.

 

Also, I want to get some custom cables for the GPU, as well as the 24pin on the motherboard. I'd love suggestions for those too!

 

I'm also planning on grabbing 3x m.2 2TB drives to update my storage as I have a 256gbm.2, a 1TB m.2 and a 500gb m.2. So if you know of a good PCIE 4.0 m.2 2TB SSD I'd love to know as well

Not with 680X, and you definitely have to give up bottom slots unless if you wanna run 8x on the GPU and run it on the bottom slot so the other pcie slots freed.

Cablemod has sponsored LTT many times, they seem like the name brand in cable extensions. Probably go with those.

Corsair Force MP600 is also good. 25% slower than Samsung 980 Pro, but cheaper usually. 22% faster than the Samsung 980 non-Pro.

 

Samsung 980 only appears to exist up to 1TB, you need to go to 980 Pro for 2TB.

 

Corsair MP600 also sits in between the 980 and 980 Pro in terms of price.

Oh, you're right, I meant the 980 PRO.
