Just helped my buddy finally make the jump to PC gaming, Told him It was definitely the wrong time to build with how the market has been going but he got a raise at his work, recently sold his car, so he told me he didn't care. So I asked him what he liked the look of, showed him many options. He went with a white themed build, so I got to work ordering the parts. This was my first AM5 build with a RTX 5080.
This build was a lot of fun, he actually picked out the case, I really loved the look and… See More
the function, Also, AMAZING to build in. It has the ability to have 4 - 360mm Rads if he ever wanted to water-cool it. He ended up declining because of maintenance and he didn't want to jump into something that needed a lot of work to maintain, I don't blame him lol. What ya'll think of this build? Also only my second white build I've put together. Total Cost of build, $3500 (Ram and SSD was borrowed from me, told him will buy a better faster set of ram and a bigger SSD once the market comes back down to the planet)
P.S I was blown away at the performance; 9800x3d with a RTX 5080, and 32gb DDR5. MAN its legit 2x more faster then my current main build....I thought the 3090ti would last longer then this but.....I'm now thinking about saving for a 5080..... (a 5090 is just UNREAL to even think of buying.....there like 6k here.)
