This is my very first home built computer. I have been using the same laptop since 2011 and it was time for a new computer! I price matched everywhere to find the best deals and compared performances endlessly to find where I could cut corners because 2000 was affordable, 5000 was not. That beautiful nvidia 2080 ti became a evga 2080 super, the ryzen 9 TR became a 7 3800x, the only thing I didn't downgrade on was memory and psu. Even the motherboard was originally going to be a msi godlike, is now an aorus ultra. All in all, I am very happy with my build and am playing at ultra settings on just about everything that I frequent. Cpu has 0 troubles keeping up, gpu stays around 60-70% usage with all best graphics.
