Build Description

Middle Age Dad with a bit of a ED problem, Elite Dangerous. Fell hard for the game on console. With all future updates/move to PC exclusive. Decided to go all in with a dream build for the first one. Suspend the college savings for a bit and built a 4K gaming beast for around $4k. Got to love symmetry.

Favorite Feature

White themed, buttery smooth, cool running, RGB madness. 4K 60 fps Ultra everything while rendering a 4K video edit is just surreal, consistent Nova bench score in the 8000 overall range. While not the flagship, the a top tier 4080 card like the ROG Strix certainly meets my needs and runs a bit cooler.
