I used to update my Games PC every couple of years. It has been 8 years this time. My Games PC was a 5930k with Two GTX980's in SLI. Both the CPU and and GPU's were custom water cooled. In a massive Corsair 900d case. Two large Radiators and many case fans. Was a great system but I had to eventually update. Not capable of 4k Gaming in anything buy very low settings.
Just before Xmas I decided it was time. I wanted a smaller case as my old system was that heavy I couldn't lift it.
I went to Scorptec at Auburn and Purchased $5000 in parts.
I went for a Mini ITX motherboard with the largest Mini ITX case I could buy. I bought a Thermaltake The Tower 200 Mini Case. Large for a Mini ITX case though.
Asus ROG Strix Z790-I Motherboard.
Intel I9-13900K CPU
64 GB Gskill 6400 DDR5.
Samsung NVME Drive.
240mm Water cooler for the CPU.
Asus TUF RTX4080 GPU
Corsair 1000W PSU
Extra Case Fans.
Man This thing is awesome. Finally have 4k Gaming Maxed out and the GPU doesn't even hit %100. Red Dead Redemtion 2 did hit %90 in one scene, but Max Settings it's mostly around %60-%70 at 4K 60 FPS Vsync.
The CPU is a monster. 24 Core. It's rated at 125 Watts with a Burst to 253 Watts. Up to 5.8 Ghz.
One thing I didn't bet on was the Noise from the fans on the GPU. The RTX4080 is a massive GPU which is rated at 320 Watts. It is very noisy at high loads. Thinking now I should have gone water on it.
I was using a FHD Projector but 4K is mostly a myth with Projectors. You need to spend Min of 10K to get a 'REAL' 4K projector. Most use Pixel Shifting which is not true 4k even though Texas claims they a real.
I ended up buying a 75 Inch 4K TV. It is awesome.
