That drop @7:25 nearly gave me a heart attack.
17:40 Brother, you already removed the GPU mount once, just do it again to install the GPU…. also you missed a screw on the bottom fans
YOU ARE TALKING WAY TOO MUCH!! OVER EXPLAINING, LIKE WE ARE MORONS !
YOU ARE BECOMING ALMOST AS BAD AS GEEKAWATT NOW !
Geekawhat just did his build in this case and he specifically mentioned you and said you aren't friends, referring to a lunch you two had
What monitor is that
I built a pc with the same specs, 7800x3D, 9070xt, 1tb ssd, and 32gb of ram earlier this month as my first build and I absolutely love it.
A good-looking build. With that case, it would be interesting to see the airflow with a little coloured smoke. For me, dust protection is important, so I'm curious about that too.
A Broken Dream
I respect his honesty about how poor this build performed, having dropped frame rates, struggling at 4k and being CPU bottlenecked.
Cannot wait to chop some trees in Runescape, 4k, all ultra on this beast, easy 25fps guaranteed or solid 35fps if scale down to 2k.
got mine last year…9800x3d with 9070xt XFX ,32gb ram and a Corsair 6000 case,cheap out on the motherboard tho (B840 Gaming +wifi) but for less than 2200 and i love it. That cooler looks so much better than what i have ,wish i can afford a change lol 🙂
So lucky you get everything and your health is good
I am glad I went with my 5090 high end pc and I have the 9950x3d2 which I will install later. I am going to update my motherboard's bios
whats 1% lows?
Man I basically only watched your videos when I first got into PC gaming 2 years ago & your videos walked me through my first build but I have to say you’ve really just turned into another GeekaWhat channel & only talk about $2500 builds or $600 “budget OLED” monitors or $250 cases…. Most PC gamers don’t make 7 figures or looking to build a 9800x3d 5070ti build. Maybe swing back a little bit to more builds that most people could actually afford
Im torn between the HAVN 420 and the Meshify 3 XL…even the Antec Flux Pro is looking quite enticing.
Could’ve got a 5080 before the apocalypse…😢
Damn that looks cool
I built my 9800x3d 5080 ddr5 6000 32gb for £2200 this time last year 😅 glad I did!!
Black case and red fans with the case being the 760T Marcus. From Ethen.
