The Monster

Small Update:

There was a huge storm in my city, where the entire city got flooded, 115mm in 1 hour. So the house got soaked, and sucked up water, released it inside my room.

RIP.

Still making calls with the insurance company about this issue, so hopefully I can get the whole system back.





My idea was making the Ultimate Gaming PC for my needs. The whole PC is around ~1500 USD (My currency is Hungarian Forint, the build was 404k HUF)

I got the opportunity to build a Monster. First thing was choosing the right CPU. I was thinking to stick with Intel, but the 8.-9. Gen Core series processors was a bit mispriced, and the AMD processor was on a Discount!

Time to choose a motherboard. Finding the right board for me was a bit hard.. I wanted to go full with it ( X470) aaand I saw the High-End board is expensive. So I choose the "mid-high" one.

Cooler! When I see the build quality of the Cryorig Coolers, I instantly wanted one. So I bought the H5 Ultimate.

Ram was an easy choice. RGB, and 16GB. Over 3000Mhz if possible. I only found the 3000Mhz one.

Choosing a case was hard too. I wanted to buy one with RGB, and if it's possible, Lian Li case. And bumm. Found my favorite! Lian Li, and RGB.

Storages: the 1TB HDD was saved from my previous PC. I wanted to buy a "cheap" one, but one of my geek friend told me, go with Samsung, and NVMe, if I can. I found one with 500GB of storage, with a good price.

PSU: EVGA! When I heard from Youtubers (JayzTwoCents fro example) they saying the EVGA PSUs are good, I wanted to go with one. 750W, semi-modular, and it was on sale too.

GPU: Just upgraded it from an Asus 1070 Dual to a Gigabyte RTX 2080 Super Gaming OC (Card needs approval by the site)
