Bahamut is an absolute beast for the basic games I play – Rocket League, Counter-Strike Global Offensive, Team Fortress 2, Grand Theft Auto 5, etc. Check out the pictures below!
PS – if you’re wondering where I got “Bahamut”, I’ve named my electronics after my favorite summons from the Final Fantasy series. 😉
8/23/2019 Addendum: The ASUS Strix Vega 64 was upgraded to a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER (overclocked). 🙂
Drop me a comment below with questions!
So why no Nvidia GPU? And the open air case is interesting, is there a concern for particles getting in the GPU fans?
I had the Vega 64 from a previous Hackintosh build, so I kept it since I don’t play any super-graphically-intense games. And yeah, the open air design *does* permit more dust, but I periodically flush the system with compressed air. 🙂
