Have been building my own PCs since the 90s. Life happened and kept moving around so went for gaming laptops. Now that I am more settled I wanted to reconnect with my childhood and spent the last 4-5 months getting the components together. The difference between now and 15 years is I am married with a kid and maybe a slightly bigger bank account (debatable 😿).
I actually thought I would be done within 2 hours max, but it took me over 6 hours made a few errors that added time but it posted on first boot and everything was easy sailing from there. Also really happy Windows finally lets you install drivers during install phase, that was really annoying to deal with in the past. Also cases have come a LONG way since I last built a PC, at least with my experience with the vision compact. My cable management just as bad as it used to be. Build:
Lian Li O11 Vision Compact
Asrock X870e Nova
AMD 9800x3d
Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition
Corsair Dominator Titanium 32GBx2 CL30 6000
Crucial T705 4T
Lian Li Edge 1300
Lian Li Galahad II Trinity
Lian Li SL V2 fans 120mm
ASUS Swift PG27UCDM
Keychain Q6 Max
HyperX Pulsefire (the only thing that made it over from my laptop days)
Creative Pebble Pro
Bonus pic at the end of my last PC GPU 🙂 Happy gaming everyone 😺

I’ve always wanted to build a pc just don’t have the knowledge or money for it
Do you use a wallpaper engine for wallpaper? I love this but the weight of that wallpaper is 500 mb and it seems like a virus or sth. I had that wallpaper way back and I did not have an issue tho.
Nice to see you’re supporting GamersNexus 👍🏻
Like you, I’ve not built a Pc in years..
I’ll will start mine shortly
Looks amazing 🙂
So I decided, maybe Darth in the case is better

I would personally swap the motherboard out. Look up what is happening to X3D CPU’s in ASRock Mobos.
Other than that it is a sick build.
Let’s gooo! Nothing like the thrill of your first build in over a decade—bet it feels like both nostalgia and brand-new tech magic at the same time. lol…I just noticed the other pics…hence editing my response. So excited for you dude. Congratulations.
Plot twist: he spent the 15 years saving for just the 5090
Bro built his last pc when i was 3
Looks pretty good.
I’d really like to know how much money Lian Li made with these fans.
