NEW ITX W/ 3080
by thormejh Posted on: 10/3/2022Build Description
I built this around getting random parts for pretty cheap. Things just kept falling into place! The mobo was 100 the cpu was 100 the GPU was 720 from a microcenter return during the GPU craziness and I just couldn’t pass that up. I love playing Tarkov, Valorant, cyberpunk, kingdom come, elden ring, and the list goes on. Also overclocking is such a fun thing to do with 3dmark. Computers are fun…sometimes!
Favorite Feature
The nr200 is my all time favorite small/itx case. It’s so easy to build in. The hardware possibilities are amazing. A full 3080 with a 280 rad on the cpu? All while taking up very little space. Just wonderful.
