Hahahaha sorry
I bought one of the original NCASE M1s back in... 2013? Love it and doubt I'll ever change to another case (except another M1). Was a challenge to build it with my chunky hands and fat fingers but that's part of the fun right?
Current build is a 4790k on a Z97 Asus Impact VII board, 16GB DDR3, a Samsung xp941 SSD (options were limited back then!), an EVGA GF980Ti, SF600 PSU with custom cables, Noctua fans everywhere, a ROG PG278Q GSync Monitor, Filco keyboard, Logitech lightspeed mouse. Machine serves me brill for what I use it for, but would like 60+ FPS consistently at 1440p and for it not to run as hot as the current one does. I don't overclock anything, but the GPU is not a blower and as a result I usually game with the side panel off.
With the advent of the 3080, I'm wondering whether to build a whole new machine in the M1 v6.1 (and sell the old one), or just upgrade GPU (and maybe add fans underneath it) and swap xp941 with a faster M2 SSD and then see what happens. Ideally I want it as silent as possible even when gaming. I've no need for WiFi, thousands of USB ports, Type C, overclocking CPU/GPU/RAM.
Tempted by new build but feel like the 4790k could still have some legs in it yet... new build would be NCASE v6.1, 10900F, 64GB RAM, 1 (maybe 2) TB NVMe M2 SSD, unknown mobo (one of the bits I want help on, with my limited needs I don't know if Z490 is overkill or whether H470/B460 would suffice), 3080 (or maybe a Ti if they announce them soonish, or perhaps do it on EVGA step up), SF750, same monitor/mouse/keyboard. And more Noctua fans
deshrouding GPU to improve noise and thermals will be a lovely option too.
