Originally started with a DG-77. Did not work for me.

~~Currently awaiting delivery of an EVGA FTW3 Ultra 3080.~~

Built a new shelf for it. Once GPU arrives I will see where I messed up with one of the CLC fan connections and clean the wiring up. Until then, here are some pics...

Welcome to the Z490 party

Out of curiosity, why didn't you just spend the few extra bucks and grab a 10850K? Nothing wrong with a 10700K but the difference is pretty small for 2 more cores.

$45 off at Newegg with the promo code and a free game

Actually a couple of things...

The idea is the next round of CPU's. I plan to get an upgrade down the road. (Came from the X79 Dark and a 3930K)
At the time, the difference was about $150-175, cost benefit just did not align for me (When I already planned the thought above).
This system will run circles around anything I ask it to do for now (Will also run 24/7 crunching).

Oh I'm planning on grabbing a Rocket Lake CPU too, but it seems you have a little more self control than I do, so well played

Yeah, like I said a 10700K is a great CPU as it's basically a 9900K and that's also still perfectly good for anything you could ask of it for gaming.

Looks great, once you slap that new gpu in there your ready to go, excellent.

A very nice build Afterburner! I like several things about the case, one is the way it shows off your PSU. And the upper shelf and brackets, looks cool, IMO. +1
