My Ship of Theseus Build

[Kongel]

Hey everyone! Been a while since I was any bit active in the community as I was restrained to a fairly weak laptop and couldn't look at all the great hardware. Super happy to be rejoining the enthusiast community with a fairly decent build.

 

Purpose:
    This system was built with the primary purpose of being my primary content creation / gaming rig while also having the power to run some basic server instances for the gaming communities that I operate.
    
Hardware:

•     CPU: Ryzen 9 5950x 4.0 GHz base overclock (16x32 core/thread)
•     RAM: 64 GB 3200MHz CL16 (T-Force Vulcan Z TLZGD432G3200HC16FDC01 x 2 kits)
•     Motherboard: Gigabyte X570 UD (Not the best but it is a start)
•     Graphics Card: Zotac RTX 3080 Trinity
•     Power Supply: Corsair RM1000x
•     Case: Lian Li Lancool One

    Storage:
        2x Samsung 980 Pro 2TB
        1x Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB
        2x PNY CS1311 2.5'' SATA III 960GB (Not great but only used for overflow game storage)
        2x Seagate Exos X14 ST10000NM0478 10TB 7200 RPM 256MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive (In RAID 1, used for backups and mass storage)

Conclusion:

    I know that there are several areas of improvement that would benefit my workload however it is ultimately a build of opportunity. Many of the parts I scored from local deals at a fraction of their retail price.Some components have also been scavenged from my other servers in my homelab.

    I am very interested to see what the community thinks as this is certainly one of the nicer build that I have had the pleasure of making. I am planning on upgrading to a pair of nicer monitors and designating my existing ones for my side monitoring displays. As for now I have a pair of HP Professional displays that are fairly color accurate and an older dell on the side that is used to monitor thermals and Discord of course.

Welcome to PC either way. A good addition to this build would be a headphone stand, poor thing being hung in half like that.

That is so true, it is a shame to treat them as such.  I will certainly be looking into getting one for them in the near future. Maybe something to elegantly hanging them from below since I am short on desk space.
