I cannot explain how thankful I am for this community, and the help you all provide. I am in a very tech specific field, but have never built or repaired a PC of my own. Mostly I work with intelligent lighting.

I was sweating bullets, nervous, for the 3 hours it took me to put this bad boy together. And just furiously biting my nails when the power light came on for the first time.

Thank you all so much. I'm in love with my new rig.

Here's my part list for anyone who cares to look at it!

Upgraded from a 1080 I bought 6 years ago, and I feel like this thing is bottled lightning by comparison. I'm running games at 2k resolution on ultra and getting double the FPS I was getting on my 1080 on low settings
