First Desktop in over a decade

by ERIC B Posted on: 2/3/2025

Build Description

I've had a laptop since I was 18 when I went to college in 2011. I finally have saved up enough money and have a stable place to live that I now wanted to finally buy my first desktop to enjoy what I've worked for. I went all out when I went there. I was going to go for the 4070 ti when I went there, but the guy said he had gotten the 4080 super in that morning so I went with that instead. I'm planning on grabbing a 5090 when that comes out to max it out fully. turns out, those sold out really fast so I was able to put in a 4090 Refurbished now as for 01/30/25. Now it's got a ASUS TUF 4090 24GB VRAM and I got 2, ASUS ROG 27in 4k OLED monitors now in place too.

Favorite Feature

4k Gaming in OLED. That was my main priority with this build. Also, liquid cooling. Never had that before owning laptops
