can see your storage would fill up quiet quickly unless its purely for gaming
Which RGB Case Please?

It's purely for gaming and tbh, I delete the games I don't use for a while. I've had 1TB only on my 4 year old computer and never had storage capacity problems.

Amendments are a dangerous thing.
A mix of lockdowns giving me too much free time and advice from guys on here has lead to 9 amendments to my original order on here 😂
I just don’t want to add all the invoices up together. My original budget went way out the window 😂😂

The only way I can justify it is by telling myself I would have spent the money on going out which we can’t do now anyway.
plus side I’ve got a monster 1440p machine coming now

My theory on such things is you've only got one life enjoy it, hence I spend my daughters inheritance on things such as bikes (i'm a keen cyclist), computers and most recently a droneThe only way I can justify it is by telling myself I would have spent the money on going out which we can’t do now anyway.

I am delighted to see the direction this thread went.
I was torn, TORN I SAY between the obvious airflow appeal of the mesh front on the Cooler Master H500M and the altogether more stylish 680x. My brain wanted mesh, while all the other bits wanted 680x. These good people helped guide me towards the light, making reassuring claims about airflow being perfectly fine in 680x as well. And it's so, so much cooler (haha pun), anyway.

Glad that you went with your heart! Have you received your order yet? Tell us about your in-person experiences with the 680X! It looks sooooo good on the YouTube review videos of it. Can't wait to receive mine.

Hi Friends,
I'm not a computer building expert but my build is below and I wanted to ask if I'll be able to easily DIY-install the Lian Li RGB Strimmer Cables into my build below and if it's compatible? I don't want to end up breaking anything but I want this build to look as RGB-awesome as possible and those Lian Li cables look incredible IMO.
Also, let me know if you'd make any changes to increase the RGB / general looks of this one?
Thank you

You should switch to 2x16GB RAM so that you can upgrade to 64GB in the future. Also you might consider the Crosshair over the Strix MOBA given the power of the 3090. Apart from that it looks like hell of a machine.

Not only that but there has been some issues from users on here using 4 sticks of ram on 5000 series GPUs. Best rule that out as a potential issue for you
Thank you for your reply! One question and sorry if it's purely about aesthetics, but the ASUS® ROG STRIX X570-F GAMING says it's "ARGB Ready", whereas the Crosshair says it's only "RGB Ready" - does this mean any difference regarding my RGB setup?
Thank you
OP has stated that the system is purely for gaming, there is no way they’ll ever need to upgrade to 64GB of RAM.
As long as they cap the RAM at 3200MHz, they should be fine with four sticks. I’d just avoid the 3600MHz for the time being, personally. Four sticks of the RGB RAM would be functional as well as sparkly 😜

Useful info and Is it really a PC if it doesn’t have sparkly goodness 👀🤔😂
You always come to my rescue, AgentCooper! Thank you!
Should I switch to the VIII HERO Crossfire MOAB due to the switch to the 3090 card? Thank you
