Unfortunately mine came from NewEgg and if I remember they had a pretty big “no returns” thing. Can’t remember why I didn’t even bother, but went straight to Powercolor.

Yeah, I'm just putting it together myself. Hopefully I'll get around to it tonight.

They sent me home with boot issues and it was a 2h round trip. I think the customer dissatisfaction discount was 75$-100$ if I remember correctly. I was pretty heated that they didn't boot test it, so when I arrived in the parking lot I told the manager "if I have to do anything physical" from my car to the repair area myself, that I was walking to the returns instead of repairs.
They sent 3 guys out with a cart to bring the rig in from my car in the parking lot while I sat in the driver seat. The 3 man included the lead build team guy-- who later apologized after the repair was done.
Wasn't the build teams fault necessarily. It was caused by a WD HDD compatibility issue that nobody knew how to solve.
I could have thrown the HDD in the trash myself and saved the repair trip since it was just a tack-on backup drive.
Still, their feet deserved to be held to the fire for not boot testing the fucking build.

And I think no notices for 5080s and 5090s from their lottery system for two weeks now.
Be ready to possibly RMA, my first 5090 bricked itself two days after I got my rig, luckily Falcon customer support kicks ass and I got a new one next day aired.

Finally put the build together last night - took longer than it should have since I haven't build a PC since 2011, but it wasn't too difficult to figure out once I did a smoke test on the fans to ensure they were pointing in the right direction for airflow.
Played Marvel Rivals last night and I was getting 110-120 FPS on High Settings on almost 4k resolution (3840x1600), I didn't see my CPU go over 48C whenever I checked on it - pretty happy with everything so far.

Went into Microcenter about a week ago, left with new PC parts came out to about 1800 all said and done.
Had to wait for a case though, sense they didn't have any non-RBG puke cases.
They were very sad when I said it was a 8 hour drive and I wasn't gonna be back in the area for a long time.

coming from a 1080, worth it.

I was going to build one but with 5080's around 1400-1500, I figured why do that with the price point this was at (I had to overhaul everything anyway) with solid components. Heard good things from some folks here about powerspec too.
If I had done a build on my own, it would have been $1710 without the video card for the same parts in this Powerspec G722. With the MSI 5080 GTX $1499 would have tossed me to $3200 for the same PC with me building it. At $2700 I thought that was a steal without the hassle of building.
This thing runs like a dream though. I was timid of WIndows 11 after all the shit I heard about it - but I am guessing things are a lot better now then they were because all I had to do was move my taskbar to the left. Aside from some UI changes it's pretty much the same.
But now I am thinking about a few things. Hook this bad boy up to my home theater to compare games from a PS5 Pro and this high end PC (I am guessing Cyberpunk will be unreal with everything turned on with Path Tracing and Ray Tracing and way more activity on the screen), or, upgrade this LG 27" 1440p display I have and sink my teeth into a 32" OLED 4k (MSI or Asus).
It's a conundrum
Also now with bluetooth I can use my old Xbox Wireless controller without an adapter and keep my old wired Xbox controller on standby.

As far as Win11 I know a lot of people are pissed because according to the next preview build you will no longer be able to by-pass having a Windows Login, they are fixing the loophole in the pro version, and removing the over all script that lets you set Win11 into a "Build" mode, it lets you update Windows and install drivers/software without needing a proper software key.
Other then a few odd ball things with the new UI I haven't really had any problems with it, coming from 10..(although 7 is still the best..)

No glass on my new case.
I only see my tower once a year these times, just to clean it out, replace fans that are annoying me and redo thermal paste.
I would have just used my old case still, but some odd reason newer CPUs require more airflow.
