Strider

Haven't built a PC in about 8 years and I knew it was about that time. I just finished reading The Lord of the Rings and my imagination was in high gear having a theme in mind I started to brainstorm. I was going to start getting the pieces on November 5th when the new Ryzen Zen 3 CPU's were launching. Alas, I missed out on getting one on launch day. So my search began. Slowly, piece by piece I began to gathering my parts. Case, fans, PSU, MOBO, etc. Watching feeds on YouTube and following MC Discord chats just to try and find my final pieces. A friend luckily sold me the 3080 that he no longer wanted and all I needed was the elusive 5900X. I work night shift. So, one night after work I was checking the Discord chat and the line at MC had been somewhat small so I decided to take my chances at 4AM and wait until the store opened. Plus, someone had mentioned bringing snacks, and they totally did. Oranges and donuts, it was awesome! After 4 hours of waiting I was handed a voucher for a 5900X. That was a great feeling. Wide awake, mood instantly elevated, I had the final piece. 3 months to the day and with it being so difficult to get a new gen console, this couldn't have been done at a better time. It all came together in the end. With a lot of help from MC (thanks for the BIOS update) and perseverance "Strider" became King of all PC's (Well, at least in this house.) Cyberpunk at 4k 60 looks so good.
