First build in 2 years!

[Liquid_Static]

INTRO: So this is my first personal rig build in over 2 years! I haven't been completely disconnected from the PC world but most of my free time has been spent working on my media server. That being said this rig was a ton of fun and definitely a learning experience. This is my first build with Intel's HEDT platform which definitely has a few quirks. I know 1080 Ti SLI is completely unnecessary but it's hard to deny how sexy SLI GPU's look.

 

I'd love to hear what you all think!

I know hardline is all the rage now, hopefully my old school build still gets some love.

God the Prime X299-A looks amazing, I'm actually going to use the same board for my 7800X build.

Just curiosity, why the 7800x?

Fair enough! I’ve been very happy with x299 so far.
