Dark Core

I named it Dark Core before the Corsair mouse came out, so when the mouse was announced I knew I had to have it for my setup. It is a mid tower Thermaltake Core P5 case with an Intel 8600K cpu in an MSI Gaming Plus motherboard, 16 gigs of Vengeance LED(red) 3000mhz ram. Storage includes a 480 gb m.2 nvme ssd, a 500 gb Samsung 860 EVO ssd, and a 4tb Western Digital 7200 RPM Red drive for mass storage. The gpu is the Gigabyte Aorus Waterforce Extreme RTX 2080. Power is delivered from a Thermaltake ToughPower Grand RGB 850w psu. Cooling is provided by a Barrow rgb cpu block, the gpu has a waterblock on it stock so I'm using that, Barrow D5 clone with a 150mm reservoir and 2 EK radiators, a 360 and a 240mm. I opted to go with soft tubing because I will actually be changing cases soon and wanted the ease of removal. All leds are set to red. There's a few 3D printed parts as well, radiator brackets and some fan holders, also a psu shroud. Peripherals are the Corsair Dark Core SE mouse, a Corsair STRAFE keyboard(red LED), Corsair Void Pro RGB wireless headset, and a Blue Yeti Blackout USB microphone on a boom with a pop filter.
