Redlining my shit posting machine


Now I can drive to a microcenter, and I am looking to upgrade my old 2015 system. I mostly play Dota2 and Civ6 right now so I don't need something mega big or expensive. I do like the idea of a bit more case style and I actually don't care for glass side panels and poo poo. I prefer smaller looking stuff that doesn't spray a bunch of RGB light everywhere and is preferably quiet. I was originally drawn to maybe trying to get this as a Phanteks Evolv shift 2 build but I don't think they are even really making that case anymore. So instead:

Here is an iteration of a build going with a fractal north mid atx tower:

Branch Nvidian posted:

Bump the RAM up to DDR5-6000 CL30, as mentioned above the GPU is a bit underpowered for the 7800X3D and you’ll end up upgrading it sooner than the rest of the system because of that. Some folks have said the RMe PSUs have loud fans, so if that’s an issue for you maybe look at an RMx or a Thermaltake GF3. Otherwise :thumbsup:

Great suggestions everyone, round two:

So the GPU is the last thing to really ask about. I like the $300 price point but could go to as much as $500. I don't think i care about ray tracing performance to be honest. What are the recs for a $300-$500 price point here? The 6X00 range of current Radeon GPUs?

Can I use one power cable to feed both of my pcie connections on my GPU? Or should this be two separate cables?

I got this with my graphics card. Is it so large I should have this thing holding it up in the case? What the hell is it
