This is my first real computer build as an attending physician in the sense that all of the internal components and peripherals are new.
Over the years, I’ve dabbled with everything from RGB ATX cases (Overmind and Tassadar) to simple mini-ITX cases and even open builds, but this time, I went with a mini-tower form factor. Furthermore, this is my first AMD build and white-themed build.
I give you Ghost. 👻

On December 25, 2021, I added a front LCD sensor panel. Check out the photos here:
On April 5, 2022, I upgraded my RTX 2070 SUPER to an RTX 3080 Ti OC. I already installed Lian Li’s vertical GPU mount to showcase the GPU.
What motherboard and intel processor would you choose if this was an intel build?
Since I’d keep the build for a while, I’d probably go for Intel Core i9-13900K paired with a ASUS Prime Z790-A WiFi 6E LGA 1700 ATX Motherboard. They’re pricey components, but hey, I’m all about future proofing.
Thank you, check out my build on newegg. First ever build and desktop PC. I am going with the more expensive components since I wont be building another rig for a couple years. Feel free to criticize it. How does a 4070 compare to a 3080ti.

Looks great. Why’d you decide to go with Ryzen with Alder lake becoming available earlier this week? I have my eye on the Odyssey monitor so you’ll have to report back how you like it.
I’ve had the Odyssey for many months now (even before they released the mini-LED version) and absolutely love it for gaming immersion. As far as the Ryzen, I’ve been building with Intel for over a decade – wanted to change it up. Plus, I got some of the components at a discount, so that was an incentive to go this route. 🙂
