She’s built to party. She has a few stickers on her, namely the boondocks “a pimp named slickback” and the Mexican drug cartel flag so that if people ask where the money came from to pay for it, though I've never sold any drugs (they’re bad m’kay?) that's what i will be pointing to. Either way if you’ve got enough money in my country to build something like this, you can afford to run a small cartel operation of some kind, hopefully a legal one.

In my time jamming on this rig, she's been both a pleasure and a privilege to use much less own. I come from a hard life so this computer has quite the lore behind it.

Feel free to ask more about this rig or if you want to link up and play something along the lines of fortnite or gta. Due to hard times i am taking time to get used to gaming in this day and age as it certainly has changed pace. I have IG/SC/DC.

Her assembly was not an easy one by any stretch. Though i used to work in IT i never thought given the crap wages in my country for someone unqualified, i would get to put in quite some overtime to be able to afford to make this dream a reality. Due to the case choice and wiring space in the back, she was a nightmare to work on aside from actually putting parts in.

I spent about a week fine tuning her under the idea i had 3200mhz ram and ran her like so until recently and since then she’s run as good as she ever will.

Installing all the important stuff was relatively easy, just running cables was an issue with the space available in the back.
Power supply location is very unique so i have to use a kebab stick to flick my power switch on and off. Cooling was quite tricky, you have to remove the power supply once cables are installed and laid out, and the feed lines HAVE to be sent to the rear of the case.

Her cooling setup is quite solid once configured correctly, it suits warmer climates. I haven't seen her hit anything beyond 60c under normal usage conditions and under quite some abuse she even struggles to hit 80c - definitely nothing to shake a stick at. Sure, the fans sound like you're at the dyno making runs on a shitbox civic, but you can be 100% sure she’s absolutely fine sitting at max power on prime95.

Neatly hidden just above and below the rtx4070, are the NVME drives, the secondary slot did not come with a heatsink so one was sourced for a ps5 so i could be sure that it would get cooled. I note that it does this VERY well.

The BX500 1tb sata SSDs are tucked behind the motherboard and behind the power supply support. This case does well at tucking the power supply and 2.5” drives. You could get away with some serious storage in this monster and nobody be wiser. With the way things are heading (new cod for example) i may just consider doubling what’s there for 4tb dedicated game storage.

All in all, she's exceeded my expectations and taken everything i could throw at her and more. I haven't had ANY issues.

This pc isn’t high end by today’s standards but she’s nice enough for me to be happy with how it performs. Once the ram and gpu are done, I'm not upgrading anything else. With the 4070, 5950x and all other components that power supply would be near its upper limits.

I would LOVE to know what else this rig is capable of. If there’s a legit application or game that's processor AND gpu hungry please let me know. I have run furmark and prime95 (at the same time) just to try get this thing to keel over and crap the bed but nooooo she just wont die.

Update: with the 4070 i have absolutely zero issues with high detail in forza horizon 3, with everything mostly turned on and everything else turned up to max. It will not go any harder but i am LOVING the detail in 1080 gameplay.
