I took the plunge, and just ordered my 2nd Digital Storm Gaming PC. I will be updating this post so everyone can see how long it takes to go thru the different stages of the build.

This is the system I ordered today.

System Configuration:

Chassis Model: Digital Storm Lynx
Processor: Intel Core i5-14600KF (5.3 GHz Turbo) (20-Thread) (14-Core) 3.5 GHz (14th Gen)
Motherboard: ASUS Prime Z790-P D5 (Wi-Fi) (Intel Z790 Chipset) (Up to 3x PCI-E Devices) (No SLI) (DDR5)
System Memory: 32GB DDR5 6000MHz Kingston FURY Beast RGB
Power Supply: 850W Digital Storm Performance Series (Modular) (80 Plus Gold)
Storage Set 1: 1x SSD M.2 (2TB Samsung 990 PRO) (NVM Express) Internet Access: High Speed Network Port (Supports High-Speed Cable / DSL / Network Connections)
Graphics Card(s): 1x GeForce RTX 4080 16GB (VR Ready) Sound Card:
Extreme Cooling: H20: Stage 3: Digital Storm Vortex Liquid CPU Cooler (Triple Fan)
Cable Management: Premium Cable Management (Strategically Routed & Organized for Airflow)

Same day as when I ordered it. Your order is now in - Stage 1: Backlog Queue. Please note, due to increased demand, it is normal for orders to remain in Backlog Queue until they are 1-2 weeks away from their actual estimated ship date. Your sales order confirmation email includes your estimated ship date range at the very bottom of the order specifications. Update, 1/15/2024 Just got this email.

Stage 2 - Pending Inventory: Your order has been assigned to our inventory team and is now pending on their backlog, our inventory department will soon begin to allocate the items for your order and add them to a fulfillment bin. Orders may stay at this stage for quite some time, depending on our workload and the availability of computer components with our suppliers/partners. Update 1/16/2024 Just got this email today.

Stage 3 - Pending Assembly: A fulfillment bin with all critical components has been placed with our assembly team, and they have added it to their internal backlog. An expert system builder will soon begin working on your order. Still in stage 3. my pc is suppose to ship after 15 business days, which will be the Jan 29th 2024. Cause I ordered it, and it was processed on Jan 9th 2024. Still in stage 3. This is the 15th business days since I ordered it. I knew going in to it, it would take longer than 15 business days. At 11:47 AM today 2/05/2024 my biuld was in stage 4.

At 1:28 PM the same day, my PC was put in stage 5. I figure I should have it by This friday 2/09/2024.

02/05/2024 at 6:33 PM, I got the email saying I was in stage 6. Which is this, Your system is undergoing a very detailed quality control analysis. We're inspecting your machine for missing screws, loose cards, checking for special requests, verifying the configuration, and double checking our stress-test results. Our inspectors are trained with an eye for detail and ensure that every system leaves our facility with the art of perfection. Then at 6:34 PM the same day.

I got the seventh stage email. Our team is carefully preparing your order to be shipped. Things include wiping down the system, preparing packaging materials to ensure safe transit, and mounting the computer and all of your accessories into a box to be assigned a shipping label and shipped. Once it ships, you will get an email with a tracking number at the end of the day. So they did all of stage 6 in a minute? I will post when I get my DS PC, and in a week, post a review with some pics too. Just hope everything works fine. I am a little worried about the PC since the stage 6 was done in a minute. Will keep everyone posted. Wish Me Luck. I have a tracking number, and the DS PC will be delivered today. Hope Fed Ex did not damage the PC. I am so happy to be getting it today. Will have to reload all my steam games onto this new DS PC.


Ok I got my DS PC today. 2/07/2024. 29 days after I ordered it. Everything is good so far. Will post a review once I had sometime with it.

Currently in the beginning phase of choosing my first real gaming PC (took a long gaming break), would you recommend a build such as this? Looks like the cost was around $2k.

Mostly to play Baldur's gate 3, Cyberpunk, etc. . But nothing overly complicated or streaming.

All depends what monitor you want to drive with your rig. PCKiller is going for high performance at 4K. I highly recommend 1440p (2K) for great graphics at reasonable prices. If you want framerates at 80-120 fps on most games, you can come in a lot lower than his price. Let us know.

Thanks for the insight!

So here's the setup I just ordered yesterday:
o     Processor - Intel Core i7-12700F (4.9 GHz Turbo) (20-Thread) (12-Core) 3.6 GHz (Alder Lake)
o     System Memory - 32GB DDR4 3200MHz Digital Storm Performance Series
o     Storage Set 1 - 1x SSD M.2 (1TB Samsung 990 PRO) (NVM Express)
o     Graphics Card - 1x GeForce RTX 4070 12GB (VR Ready)
o     Power Supply - 750W Digital Storm Performance Series (80 Plus Gold)
o     Extreme Cooling - AIR: Stage 2: Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black (Extreme Performance)
o     Microsoft Windows 11 Home

At this point I am leaning towards the Dell 34 Curved Gaming Monitor – S3422DWG that a friend had recommended.

Does that sound like a good match?

.

Currently I have dual 27" monitors. From my work days I found dual monitors to be useful as I would be cutting and pasting from one document to another. I still find two monitors to be quite useful although not so much for gaming.   The monitor you are considering is a very good one.

I am considering 2 Dell UltraSharp 27 4K USB-C Hub Monitor - U2723QE.

I'm not familiar with the 34-inch Dell monitor, but I'm a HUGE fan of curved ultrawide monitors. I've had a couple of 34-inchers, and a couple of 38-inchers. They are great for gaming and productivity work. Once you get used to that size you'll never go back!

I just bought a 65 inch tv to replace my 42 inch in my bedroom. I wonder if that 42 inch would make a good PC Gaming monitor?

Some TVs work well as monitors, but many don't. One of the most common issues is that the screen brightness changes based on what is displayed. I would just give it a try, and see how you like it.

I would like to see you step up to the 14600KF as your CPU. It is not that much stronger than the one you ordered, (8%) but it is two generations newer, is superior by that amount, and has 14 hybrid modern cores and 20 threads compared to 12 cores and 20 threads. it also turbos to 5.3 GHz vs 4.9GHz. In computer parts newer is almost certainly better, and this is 3 years ahead of the CPU you ordered. It's also $27 cheaper.

I also think you should invest in the 850W power supply. The DS branded one is just fine. In future, you will be far less likely to be hamstrung by a PSU that is almost good enough, but not.

Every thing else looks like it will do what you want it to. DS is very welcoming to your changes especially at this stage. They want you to have the best computer you can afford. And so do I.

I ordered my system on the same day you ordered your system and I am still at Stage 2, so don't feel too bad. I figured it might take a little longer as some of my components might not be in stock, but like you I am impatient. Fortunately, I have a system that still functions well that I plan to give to my son.

Maybe I should give Alex a jingle.

Well, I am not upset. Just posting how the system works, so others know what to expect when they order their DS PCs. I figured it would go beyond the 15 business days. My last one took longer too. As it had a large water loop in it with 2 Rads.

IIRC, the Friday ship status was only for palleted orders such as Aventums and other high-weight, overly fragile items that needed to be strapped down and handled differently.

I believe they had an everyday FedEx/UPS pickup...

You are right about that as my 1st DS PC was worth over $7,000 and it was on a crate.

02/05/2024 at 6:33 PM, I got the email saying I was in stage 6.

Which is this,

Your system is undergoing a very detailed quality control analysis. We're inspecting your machine for missing screws, loose cards, checking for special requests, verifying the configuration, and double checking our stress-test results. Our inspectors are trained with an eye for detail and ensure that every system leaves our facility with the art of perfection.

Then at 6:34 PM the same day. I got the seventh stage email.

Our team is carefully preparing your order to be shipped. Things include wiping down the system, preparing packaging materials to ensure safe transit, and mounting the computer and all of your accessories into a box to be assigned a shipping label and shipped. Once it ships, you will get an email with a tracking number at the end of the day.

So they did all of stage 6 in a minute? I will post when I get my DS PC, and in a week, post a review with some pics too. Just hope everything works fine.

I am a little worried about the PC since the stage 6 was done in a minute. Will keep everyone posted. Wish Me Luck.

This goes along with my comment that the stages reported by DS don't always jive with what is actually happening.

Anyway, congratulations on the progress with your order. I ordered mine on the same day you ordered yours and mine was reported to be at Stage 3 last Friday.

I guess I should order my new monitors 2   Dell UltraSharp 27 4K USB-C Hub Monitor - U2723QE. Amazon has a good price on them.

Well, I just checked my stats, and as of 1;57 am on 02/06/2024. There was no tracking number. So I will not be getting it today as I paid for next day air. unless DS forgot to tell me the number in the last email. that works for me, as I had plans for today anyway.

I just got the tracking number for Fed Ex. So I should have it Wednesday then. Will keep everyone posted as to when I get it, and the review after a week of ownership.
