That’s awesome. Almost looks futuristic! Nice job amazing first build

Thanks still working on the set up. Want to add another monitor, some more lights and maybe a bigger desk.

Hey nice build but I just wanted to tell you that you have more exhaust than intake when it ideally should be the opposite. Your configuration is negative pressure when you either want positive or neutral pressure(neutral is same number of exhaust and intake fans). This is not gonna damage anything but just be prepared to clean and maintain your build more often since you will have more dust come in(sounds counterintuitive but to compensate the fans will be pullin more air through the crevices of the chassis which causes the dust filters to not be so useful). Also its better to have all your 8 + 4 pin eps cables connected(on the top right) since your cpu will get more "stable power" when your system is under load(not much of a difference but why not). If your psu only has one 8 pin eps than its fine but if it has two you can split the second one into 4 pins instead which should relatively be easy.

Looks sharp, and obviously top notch components.

 

Couple minor critiques:

 

1.  I'd have come over the backplate with the powercable for the GPU.  Coming up from the bottom leaves a rough thick cable in plain sight, kind of an eyesore.

 

2.  GPU sag.  Get a bracket or pillar or something to even that out.

 

Just a couple small things to bring it up to the quality build you made it.  Well done.

does the sag hurt the GPU at all?

No it helps it

Doesn't hurt it but puts torque on the slot that isn't necessary, and looks and not aligned to the rest of the good looking build.

 

Nothing to worry about, very minor nitpick.

It *can*, but Zotac has been smart and doesn't use the cut out on the PCB that likes to cause a lot of problems for other manufacturers.

I know their 4090 comes with a bracket for dealing with sag. The 4080 might as well. If it did, you could use that and use the power cable to help "hide" the bracket. If the bracket it came with is black and you'd rather stick with more white than black in the case then fishing line can and will work to help hold up the graphics card without being too visible.

Got a source for the stability statement? A 7800x3D doesn't use nearly enough power to need a second EPS cable.

You are right, the tdp of 7800x3d is 120 watts and a single 8 pin connector provides 250w I think so I am being dumb. But its nice to have anyways when OCing and you might as well plug it in if you have the extra cable to do so.
