By far the sexiest case I've ever owned. Beautiful mid-tower. Cable management is next-level. Cooling is very efficient. There is a glass panel, just gotta be cautious to avoid breaking. It looks great, though!
Corsair 4000D AIRFLOW Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX Case — Black
This motherboard has not given me one issue. Stable. BIOS has plenty of overclocking options. Flashing is easy. Fan control. ARGB control. 2.5 GBE is a great touch.
Z790 PG Lightning - ASRock | Phantom Gaming
I love this CPU. Handles anything I throw at it. Rarely gets bogged down outside of benchmarks. Doesn't get too hot with my cooling setup. Could this be the last good generation of Intel CPUs?
Intel® Core™ i7-12700K Processor (25M Cache, up to 5.00 GHz)
G.Skill RAM has always been good to me. DDR5. Quick. Beautiful lights. Choose a XMP profile and you're off to the races!
G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB Series (Intel XMP 3.0) DDR5 RAM 32GB
My first 1TB SSD. The speeds are ridiculous, more than I need. I have no doubt this will last into the foreseeable future, this must be my fifth or sixth Samsung SSD...and none of them have failed!
SAMSUNG SSD 990 PRO PCIe ® 4.0 NVMe ® SSD 1TB
This drive has been running constantly since the summer of 2018…and, knock on wood, no bad sectors (yet)!
Once again, for the price it's a no-brainer if you need more than a couple TB of storage.

Western Digital 8TB WD Blue PC Internal Hard Drive HDD
Fully modular. No issues so far. Corsair quality.
CORSAIR RM750e Series RM750e Fully Modular Low-Noise ATX Power Supply
Yes, I needed additional monitor ports so I was forced to use my ancient 760. Go ahead: judge me!
EVGA GeForce GTX 760 Superclocked w/ EVGA ACX Cooler
This cooler truly lives up to it's reputation. Cools so efficiently, looks gorgeous and is almost criminally low-priced.
Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE CPU Cooler
For the price these are a no-brainer. Full speed and these are still very quiet. They pull plenty of air. The ARGB looks amazing and my motherboard has no problem manipulating the lights.
(4x) Thermalright TL-C12C-S X3 CPU Fan 120mm ARGB Case, 4pin PWM
If you buy an Intel 12/13th gen CPU make sure you get this for your motherboard! Without going into details I'll say it's simply bad for the CPU and it will not cool properly without this fastener.
Thermalright Intel 12th/13th Gen LGA1700 Anti-Bending Fastener
The reviews are accurate - this stuff is insanely good. Easy to apply. The only downside is you only get a few applications out of the tube!
Prolimatech PK-3 Nano Aluminium Thermal Compound 1.5g

All external components.
For the price I am very satisfied. 165Hz is something else!
Acer Nitro VG270 Sbmiipx 27" Full HD IPS Gaming Monitor
My second monitor…it's old but literally still works like I just opened it out of the box back in 2018. Hoping for another 6+ years!
Acer S271HL 27" LCD Monitor
For a 2.1 system the sound is crisp and the bass kicks nicely! I actually bought this nearly 15 years ago and it still rocks the house.
Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 THX® Certified Computer Speaker System
Very content with this keyboard. Lights aren't too bright. Plenty of customization for how you want them to look. Typing feels intuitive. The only downside I can think of is no wrist guard.
Corsair K55 CORE RGB Gaming Keyboard — Black
For an affordable lower-end mouse I have no complaints. Nothing has broke thus far and I've given it plenty of abuse!
Logitech G203 LIGHTSYNC RGB 6 Button Gaming Mouse
Not much to say except it works, it hasn't started curling up on the sides and it stays quite clean compared to other mice pads I've used in the past.
