I decided time to do a desktop for upgrade abilities and this is what I ordered.

Hi Ravenwjf......Welcome to the forums and Congrats on your Aventum selection.

Looks like a good setup to me.    My DS rig is now about 6 years old and after a psu replace and video card upgrade it's still running great.   Can't believe it's been 6 years.

Congratulations and welcome to DS.Awesome

You have a gigantic case on the Aventums so working on it will be easy. And you have the gear (quick disconnects on the liquid cooling system) for adding liquid cooling to the gpu if you ever want to do it. (There is ample cooling with all the radiators on that case.) Enjoy.Big%20Smile
