The Widowmaker - SUW Build (named because she will kill me for spending this much lol)

[B5NBM]

Hey all, hope you are keeping well.

Whilst we have been stuck in, my birthday came round so treated myself to a setup upgrade.

I have also upgraded the CPU to pair better with the 2080 Super but after that the PC was pretty much where i wanted it so i turned focus to monitors as i was gaming on 1080p and lots of people recommended 1440p instead as a good next step to improve experience.

So, i present "The Widowmaker" setup, named aptly because i will be killing in the coming days when she finds out how much i spent on this monitor alone lol. I went for the Samsung 49" (5120x1440 @ 120hz) Super Ultrawide Monitor (C49RG90) and paired with a vert 27" Asus (1920x1080 @ 144hz) monitor (VG278Q) so i still have a secondary screen when gaming but went vertical for use when working more than anything as i am a data analyst.

[B5NBM]

Thanks buddy

 

[B5NBM]

Love it, are you using a case to store water-cooling equipment?!

Haha yeah, it's my old case so why not put to use lol

 

[B5NBM]

Yeah i do have a lot spare as tried out a few different colours before i settled on this

 

[B5NBM]

Thanks both

 

[B5NBM]

Thanks all, sorry for late reply but work has been crazy during the current situation out there. Finally got some time to clean up a little and sort out the theme a little....

Nice build. That bend from the rad to the res is very slick. How many tries did that take you?

Surprisingly only 2, planning the GPU loop currently so sure that will throw a few challenges my way haha

 

[B5NBM]

Oooo that sounds like it could come out mega, will try keel am eye out for it enjoy buddy

Not surprised, pay full price expect good quality. Seems way of world at moment, I got a Samsung CRG9 recently and got to return for repair on faulty display port and now hearing the recall on G9s it astonishes me that companies have such bad quality control especially when get up to these expensive items

You should get a water block on that graphics card. Pretty sure a thick 360 rad would handle that and CPU fine.

Yeah I'm planning to, temps aren't bad tbh but just waiting find a block I like look of enough to do it. I have another 360 rad up top ready

Out of interest, what desk is that mate?

I picked it up from an office clearance via eBay so no idea on model or brand as nothing shown on it
