Wombo combo
by Roger Lee Posted on: 2/13/2025
Build Description
When I was pricing out components, I came across a particular combo from Microcenter that was too good to pass up. Even though it took me 3 hours of round trip driving, it was easily the best option for me as it knocked out my processor, motherboard, and ddr5 in one fell swoop. And so with a nod to anyone else who ever played/watched competitive Smash, I call this my wombo combo. In Rainbow 6 Siege (1440p resolution) I am able to max out my 185Hz monitor.
In hindsight, well I wish I was able to buy one of the new rtx 5080's. But since that appeared impossible the few times I made an attempt, I am rolling with my vanilla 4070 for now.

Favorite Feature
I reserve the right to make future changes, so I'm happy with the future room for growth. Do I somehow get my hands an a gtx 5080 in the near future (at msrp of course)... great, then i can upgrade to a x3D series processor and add two more modules of ddr5. hopefully I have reason to come back and edit this build with all the improvements I can make down the road.
