Hello
So I've wanted to build my "dream rig" for some time now. Over the last year I've been purchasing parts for this build.
Initially I had an MSI 2080 Gaming x Trio GPU but have recently acquired the beloved 2080ti KPE!

Below is a list of some of the parts that have been used in my build
Case: O11D (I have the xl on hand for my future watercooling adventure) ;)
CPU: 9900k (10900k in hand, delidded, liquid metal applied, copper ihs installed)
GPU: MSI 2080 Gaming x Trio -------> NOW EVGA 2080Ti Kingpin Edition
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z Royal (silver) 4000Mhz CL17
MB: Z390 Gigabyte Aorus Master (Z490 in hand)
PSU: Seasonic Snow Silent 1050, 80 Plus Platinum 1050w
CPU Cooler: Deepcool Castle 360 EX
Fans: 120mm Lian Li Bora Digital
Storage: 1TB Samsung 970 M.2 NVMe EVO, 2x Sabrent 2TB Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD
Currently I'm acquiring the remaining necessary parts for custom water cooling!
I have most of the parts necessary but the rads are out of stock and my Byski GPU block is still in transit.
Very much looking forward to posting the progress bit by bit as I attempt custom water cooling among many other mods for the first time ever in order to FINALLY have my true "Dream Rig"!
Future build progress will include but wont be limited to..
-
Lapping the die of my 9900k because I hate myself :) (no longer needed on a 10900k)
- modding the byski gpu water block to fit properly
- bending acrylic tubing with zero experience beforehand
-
painting my black hw labs 360 rads white (the white variant became avaliable)
EDIT: I have upgraded to a 10900k and z490 aorus master board for this build.
