Build Description
Long time gamer from Avalon Hills board games to Wizardry & Zork. Play a range of games including MSFS 2020/2024, Diablo 4, Satisfactory, Avatar, Stalker 2, Death Stranding, AC, Horizon Forbidden West, Jedi Survivor to name a few. In the high teens in PC builds. I reuse parts from previous builds if performance is still current. I continually modify my builds and experiment in overclocking.
My build focus was for high quality scenery & framerate in MSFS. So got in line around 4am on January 30th to get one of the last rtx 5080 GPUs. Also purchased the Asus x870e-e and AMD 9800x3d. As the GPU was too large for my current case, I opted for a Lian Li o11 Dynamic Evo Gaming RGB. As a longtime Corsair ecosystem enthusiast, used Corsair LX120 fans on the Corsair Titan AIO and Corsair QX-120 fans for all case fans. Beyond gaming I do a reasonable amount of home video editing and photo enhancement-organizing.

Favorite Feature
For me the Lian Li case was a good decision as it has a good cable management system and a high degree of flexibility. A full tower case would be nice but requires just too much space. Due to the amount of cables (even with Corsair icue link fans), had to mod the 2 drive bays so each could accommodate 2x 2.5" SSDs using Sabrent 2x 2.5 SSD mounts. Scavenged 3x Gen 4 m.2s from previous build. Two were slotted in MB slots 4 & 5. Purchased a PCIe card for the 3rd m.2. In the future will use slot 1 for a Gen 5 high capacity m.2. The rtx 5080 in the horizontal position sagged about 5-7mm. Unfortunately, the included Lian Li anti-sage bracket couldn’t accommodate the larger width GPU. However, found a good alternative though.
