What do you think of my first build?

[THEGTKING360]

So, we got a KING95 from Skytech. $1499

Asrock b650m-cx

9700x 3.8ghz 8 cores 16 threads max boost I've seen is 5.4ghz a DeepCool rebranded 360 mm AIO cooler for Skytech

48g of 6000mt ram 2 kits one t-create 16g elite kit and a 32 g Corsair 6000mt kit (yes, I know they are miss matched kits. the next kit I purchase will be the same 32 g corsair kit to replacing the t-create kit but at $480 for the corsair kit I could only do one at a time)

1x Samsung 990 pro 2 t SSD $400(replaced the 1 t wd boot drive)

1x Samsung 990 pro 4 t SSD $720

1x Samsung passport 1 t external SSD $20 Facebook marketplace

PNY Nvidia GeForce 5060TI 16g

2x LG 27" smart monitors 100hz 1080p on a cheap Huanuo duo monitor versa mount from amazon $270 both and the versa mount (I work for LG Energy so got the monitors for $99 each with my employee discount)

(lots of led lighting) 

acer 300w charging dock clock and light $69

Epson xp-410 printer scanner free

Sanyun 60w carbon fiber 3 in computer speakers $79 

desk amazon special $95

using Skytech peripherals

insignia 4800 jewel 15 outlet power conditioning surge protector $65    

 

Not in picture still waiting for shipping but I have a Pecron 3800 solar power station on order for my UPS it comes with a 3800w pure sine wave inverter 6 killowatt hour worth of battery storage and 2x 800w solar panels. i'll be use the grid pass through it has a 10ms switch over should get about 5-7 hours on back up running the computer and the network.  $1800

 

For the sound I'm using Voicemeeter to create a surround type set up. Left monitor plays the left sounds and the right monitor plays the right sounds the Sanyum computer speakers act as the bass. Lots of cable management.

Its still a work in progress but it is coming along. let me know what you think. anything you'd change? or any suggestions. Be gentle its my first time. 

 

oh, total cost somewhere close to $5,500 for everything.

Shouldn't the monitors behave this way out of the box?

I am 100% confused by all this.

 

Edit:   This is better suited for the Show Off Your Battlestation thread.  I'd post it there as well.

 

Questions:

What is the use case of this machine?

 

$480 for a 32GB kit of RAM in addition to the 16GB kit that came?  Why for?

 

$1100+ for Samsung Pro drives?  I choked on that.

 

Your sound setup.  I cannot in any universe imagine that using the monitors for highs and bookshelf speakers for mids is actually sounding good.  Why not use the bookshelves for their intended balanced use?

 

$1800 for solar panels and UPS?  Are you trying to live off the grid?

 

$5500 for all that.  Holy fuck.

 

I think I understand it, from the pics of the room itself.  But I would have put that money toward something else, personally.

It's a great setup, but can you really say it's "my first build" if you didn't build the PC?

This is right at the max of what you can get away with before you're risking your components. I'd almost want to put an actual UPS between them.

This is assuming whatever is upstream from your router also didn't lose power. Also I feel like it may be more important to power your fridge and freezer rather than your PC in the event of an outage lol.

No, he's separating the sound channels, using each monitor as a single speaker instead of the entire audio going thru it as normal.

The speakers should do that themselves, just aux to one speaker which plays the R channel, then the L channel gets sent to the other speaker via RCA cable.

I've had issues with voicemeeter in the past so I'm wondering why not just do it the normal way?

yeah, the speakers are doing that normally. It's the monitor using the highs for left and right that are the issue.  Monitors take a full audio signal and play it in stereo in themselves, they can't be made to do only left or right without software I don't think.

 

But doing it just seems odd as hell to me.  neat from a "can I do it" concept, but in listening to it.... ear bleed.

WAIT that's what's going on??? I'm used to calling those speakers "monitors" so I misread and thought he was only using those. I was confused as to how it was a "surround" setup with only 2 channels. Still wouldn't call it a surround setup though lol.

"For the sound I'm using Voicemeeter to create a surround type set up. Left monitor plays the left sounds and the right monitor plays the right sounds the Sanyum computer speakers act as the bass. Lots of cable management."

 

Yeah, I thought as you at first and reread it.  Left monitor = LG screen, not the left white studio monitor.  Since he mentions the Sanyum speakers separately it looks like he is making 4 sound "things":

 

Left LG monitor = Left Tweeter

Left Sanyum speaker = Left Mid

Right LG monitor = Right Tweeter

Right Sanyum speaker = Right Mid

 

Tho he mentions "bass" as if the 2 white speakers can simply play sub 80Hz frequencies like subwoofers (they cannot).  Might be just wording.

 

That's how I understand it.  May be incorrect.

Welcome to the forums!
Well, you massively overspent on the SSDs, and I can't seem to find a PSU in the list.
What are you doing with it? Like, this totals out to a 3k rig, but is a 1080p120 machine, so I assume not gaming. Maybe DAW with all that RAM?

Amazon claims they can do 40Hz but I bet the roll off is insane. They could have saved so much on SSDs and bought a proper 2.1 sound system plus an adequately sized desk.

The whole spec of this build bewilders me, I can't think of a use case it fits.
