Spider-Gwen, Into the Corsair-Verse

Well, it's finally here and like many others, this contest made want to show off my first builds so kudos to it.

My original idea was just to use white as my main color but somewhere along the lines (and after playing with the RGB way more than I care to admit) the idea for this amazing theme cliked so naturally I just had to go full Spider-Gwen.

The 570x case is a work of beauty and the white version is exactly what I was looking for. The AIO is definetly overkill for a 8600k but man does it look good, and that's not even taking into account those nice silent thermals. I do not regret this purchase.

My main objective was gaming at 1440p and the STRIX is totally what I needed to get the job done. It can run whatever I throw at it and it just feels so good to know the invesment will probably last me many more years to come. I highly recommend this card.

Going into storage I gradually added more and more space since prices have come down in the last months. From a hybrid SHDD only build to a full 750GB of SSD space (250GB being Nvme) this is the snappiest PC I have ever used! When in doubt, SSD is probably the answer.

And stealing the show on many of the pictures we have the Omen 27 monitor. Running at 144hz and 1440p everything looks sharp and smooth. Obviously you have to deal with the usual TN shenanigans but no panel is perfect and price to satisfaction ratio for me has been extremly good.

Hope you guys enjoy this build. The picture on the side was made with special markers which should come off with a bit of alcohol...although I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon. I just loved how everything turned out!

Shout out to my friend Gerardo and my amazing girlfriend Annabel. They truly helped accomplish this long time dream.
