Purple Rain 3.0

by NateDZD Posted on: 6/1/2023

Build Description

Purple Rain is now an all-AMD build. I've switched from the RTX 3070 to the RX 6950 XT.

It's primarily a gaming rig, but I also use it for work, podcast recording/editing, and some light video editing.

Games I play:
• Control
• Cyberpunk 2077
• Destiny 2
• Divinity: Original Sin 2
• Dragon Age Inquisition
• Doom Eternal
• Horizon Zero Dawn
• The Mass Effect Trilogy
• Metro Exodus
• NieR:Automata
• Persona 5 Royal
• A Plague Tale: Innocence
• A Plague Tale: Requiem
• Resident Evil 2 Remake
• Resident Evil 3 Remake
• Shadow of the Tomb Raider
• Starcraft II
• Titanfall 2
• Transistor
• The Witcher 3

Favorite Feature

Overall, I think I'm very proud of the build, and no individual feature stands out to me as being my "favorite." The case was an absolute joy to build in though, and it looks great on my desk.
