Although she offered to pay for the entire gpu, I just asked her to pay the amount it would cost a 5070ti but I topped up for a 5080 together with the other parts of my pc.
Most common question I will probably get is why intel over amd?
To be honest , I have been eyeing this motherboard for awhile and I am a pretty big sonic fan.
I went for white build because it compliments the motherboard and the prices of white vs black parts isn't any different . No white tax just need to check availability.
Specs:
Cpu: I7 14700k
Motherboard : Asrock b760m Sonic Edition
Gpu: Zotac rtx 5080 amp infinity extreme
Ram: G skill trident z5 DDR5 600mhz
Cooler : Lian Li Gallahad ii white
PSU : Asus TUF 1000W gold white
Ssd : WD Black 1gb nvme
Case : MSI MAG PANO m100r PZ

SICK BUILD! Question tho….why even bother with WiFi? Not like it’s a laptop. I always have my rig plugged straight into the modem
Maaan. They need a Shadow version for AMD.
LUCKY GUY
Man I just wish I managed find someone who will love me like this
Lovely build man congrats

Gotta go Fast
I’ve had the Zotac 980 ti, 2080 super, and now 3080 amp extreme. Nice card.
Ok, hang on. Why is the entire case white but the GPU? Come oonnnnnnn.
I guess with stock being difficult to find, you can’t be super picky, but this would have been the better choice, no?

Don’t forget to register your card with Zotac, you can get an extra 2 years on top of the 3 year warranty **for free** to have a total of 5 years warranty.
Zotac really cleaned up the look compared to the 40 series.
Oh my. Thats a beauty!
Have fun with it.
Nice color of the gpu, it really fits in.

I like your setup!
I love my 5080 so much
14th gen i7… It’s jover
But why intel?
With those options, she was clearly the right choice. If she had a picture of a 5060ti, might be worth questioning 😆
Do not redeem! Do not redeem! WHY DID TOU REDDEM!?!?!

Omg I love that motherboard. Nice setup. Wife buff is OP
Also if you have already done so already, update the micro code for the cpu so it doesn’t off itself within a year.
I hope you won’t get a melting connector though. They seem to be getting more frequent.
ROPS?
As a lifetime Sonic fan myself, BEAUTIFUL build brother
This doesn’t have anything to do with the computer itself but I’d recommend getting some thin clear fishing line to hang or tie things down with so it’s much harder to see what’s attaching them. It’ll look a little cleaner.
Lucky lad, my gf gets borderline pissed if I overgame XD
PS – Just got the 5080 solid zotac and I’m loving it with my LG C3 OLED 😀
Hey brother, is your fiance single? Asking for a friend…
oh nice
That’s so cute.
Dude I love the mobo. I almost went with it as well because I’m also a huge sonic fan. My question is this, do you and your wife not share money?
W
Looks sleek.
Congratulations.
PS: All the Smith-brains chanting “Why Intel?”. Go rub two neurons around somewhere else.
my fiancé would never do anything this nice for me 🙁
