Well, hello LTT community!!

I've been itching to get back on a real computer and nerd out like I used to.
FINALLY got around to getting it done. Lemme know what you think / suggest. 

CPU: Ryzen9 5900x 
GPU: Geforce RTX 3070
MOBO: Aorus x570 Elite AX
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro - 64GB 3600MHz
PSU: Corsair RM 850x
AIO: Corsair H150i Elite
M.2: WD Black SN850X - 3TB Gen4

 

For my use, the hardware above is kinda overkill even though they're not cutting edge.  
I plan on gaming at 1080p and editing some basic videos in DaVinci Resolve. 
I would also like to dabble into streaming and recording while I play so I downloaded OBS and picked up the following items: 

CAM: Logitech Streamcam
MIC: Razer Seiren V2

I cant wait to finish setting it all up and getting started.

Very nice! Seems like it was money well spent

Very smart. Looks amazing from the glass panel side. On the other side, cable management could be a little neater but it makes no difference to the performance or asthetics of what you can actually see when the case is closed - all depends on if it bothers you I guess.

So glad you made a comment about the cable management lmao. 
 

I put it together rather quickly because I was showing some friends how it’s done.
 

I later took it apart and took my time with it. I also ran the RGB case fans to the motherboard to sync with the lights inside. 
 

Once again, could have been neater but nobody is going to see back there lol.
