AMDarkKnight

This is My Gaming and video editing PC :)
I am Currently slowly upgrading it since my initial build was from 4-5 years ago.
I just upgraded from a MSI Radeon R9 390X to a Radeon VII.
My goal is to build around the Radeon VII keeping with the red and silver theme aesthetically.
I also just upgraded to a tempered glass In Win 303 case from my outdated Phantom 410 case.
I would also like to note I have a couple white standard NZXT fans I'm also using to help keep everything cool, until I upgrade to AIO cooling.
Planning on purchasing a Ryzen 7 3700X in the future and a compatible motherboard to go with it.
A lot of my other components and accessories are outdated a bit but still hold up well without bottle necking my system.
I am also rocking some sexy ketchup and mustard cabling from my Antec power supply lol I am planning on upgrading that in the future also maybe with some red braided chords? maybe.

Update:

Where to begin lol. I upgraded my motherboard from the ASUS Z170-K to the Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite and purchased the AMD Ryzen 3700X processor Emojiand it is god damn amazing!
I initially purchased a Corsair H100i RGB cooler to boot, but i ended up deciding to stick with the AMD Wraith Prism cooler that came with my processor and sold the water cooler since i was getting about the same temperatures and performance with both coolers. I think if i were to upgrade my CPU cooler again i might just stick with air and get a Noctua cooler instead. Plus the wraith cooler fits with my AMD aesthetic.
I also gave in and bought a WD 500GB nvme drive to use as my boot drive. My friends all have nvme drives and rave about the speed and it is night and day when transferring files and downloading compared to other HD and SSD.
I also purchased 4 more Corsair ML RGB pro fans to match the other 3 fans I purchased beforehand.
I also upgraded my peripherals from Razer to Logitech. My keyboard is the new Logitech G pro and my mouse is the G305 wireless lightspeed mouse, both of witch are amazing and since switching to 10 keyless i don't think i can go back to a traditional keyboard setup.

The only thing I havent upgraded yet is my RAM but i will just wait on that since i think i will manage with my old RAM for now.
