PCCOOLER CPS YN1000 has it all!

PCCOOLER CPS YN1000 Fully Modular Power Supply, 80 PLUS Gold 1000W PSU, 12V-2x6 Cable, ATX 3.1 & PCIe 5.1 Ready, 105°C Rated Japanese Capacitors, ECO Mode, 135mm FDB Fan, 10 Years Warranty

Pros: 80 PLUS Gold 1000W PSU, 12V-2x6 Cable, ATX 3.1 & PCIe 5.1 Ready, 105°C Rated Japanese Capacitors, ECO Mode, 135mm FDB Fan, 10 Years Warranty make it a perfect buy for a high end gaming PC build. No messing around with dongles for the high end Gforce 5000 series GPUs like my new RTX 5080, one connection neat and easy. And, it still has more than enough PCIe connections for your CPU, mine is a Ryzen 7 9800x3d with 3 left over if you need more. Super quiet and perfect for my Asus TUF case where it's tucked neatly into the bottom compartment out of sight.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Perfect power supply from an up and coming manufacturer, I would 100% recommend.

Great Asus TUF AIO Cooler!

ASUS TUF Gaming LC II 360 ARGB All-in-One Liquid CPU Cooler with Aura Sync, 3x TUF Gaming 120mm ARGB Radiator Fans, Reinforced Tubing, Widely Compatible with Latest Intel & AMD CPUs
ASUS TUF Gaming LC II 360 ARGB All-in-One Liquid CPU Cooler with Aura Sync, 3x TUF Gaming 120mm ARGB Radiator Fans, Reinforced Tubing, Widely Compatible with Latest Intel & AMD CPUs

Pros: This thing keeps my AMD Ryzen 7 9800x3d in the low 30s during gaming. It's very quiet and looks great.

Cons: So, keep in mind this thing ships from mainland China so buy it in advance of buying any components coming directly from Newegg or you'll have the rest of your PC parts for about a month prior to this very important one being delivered to your doorstep. I made the mistake of not doing that, but it was worth the wait.

Overall Review: It's a great CPU cooler and goes with my Asus TUF build 100%.

Bonus Card Works Great!

Newegg Promotional Gift Card

Pros: Got to apply gift card to the cost of a 512 gb USB memory stick. Payed $8 after after applying bonus and it is like having a portable hard drive.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: After purchase it shows up on your account, just use it and save. It's great!

GeForce RTX 5080 the TUF Way

ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7 OC Edition TUF-RTX5080-O16G-GAMING PCI-Express 5.0 DLSS 4.0 Graphics Card
ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7 OC Edition TUF-RTX5080-O16G-GAMING PCI-Express 5.0 DLSS 4.0 Graphics Card

Pros: This thing is built like an Abrams tank. Once you have the drivers loaded it gives wicked fast frame rates for gaming at 1440p on my TUF gaming monitor. Less RGB actually makes it standout more in my PC case that already lit up like a Christmas tree. The TUF logos are everywhere in components in my case, which is also a TUF. Asus TUF is a great line and is only getting better with these Gforce 5000 series. Would I have liked to have had a RTX 5090? Sure, but they cost more than my entire PC build combined, so the RTX 5080 is a nice compromise. My frame rate has gone up four fold from my previous build.

Cons: So, my only gripe is that this card shipped without a driver loaded. Because of this it would only display at native 640 X 480 resolution. I had to use the onboard graphics to be able to see for loading Windows 11. When Windows finished loading, I then hooked the display port back up and still could switch from native resolution and couldn't see the screen to load the Nvidia drivers. What saved me was having the idea of trying HDMI, that worked and let me get to a resolution to be able to load the GPU drivers. Once that was done the display port worked great and I changed to 1440p resolution and 180 Hz refresh rate. Now things are outstanding!

Overall Review: Best video card I've ever owned, I love it!

Big and Curvy with a Great 1440p Picture

ASUS TUF Gaming 32 inch (31.5" viewable) QHD 2K 1440P 180Hz with AMD FreeSync (Adaptive Sync) 0.5ms 1500R ELMB Curved Gaming Computer Monitor VG32WQ3B

Pros: The in game frames are beautiful on this monitor generated from my RTX 5080 GPU. No obvious ghosting and superior frame rates at 180 Hz refresh rate.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I'd have would have gone 4K but they are still too pricey. It's one of the best options I've seen for 2K and it's truly Asus TUF!

Asus TUF Quality in X870-Wifi 7 Motherboard

ASUS TUF GAMING X870-PLUS WIFI AMD AM5 X870 ATX motherboard, 16+2+1, 80A SPS power stages, DDR5, PCIe 5.0 Ready, four M.2 slots, Wi-Fi 7, 2.5Gb LAN, HDMI, USB4 40Gbps, SATA 6 Gbps, USB 20Gbps Type-C
ASUS TUF GAMING X870-PLUS WIFI AMD AM5 X870 ATX motherboard, 16+2+1, 80A SPS power stages, DDR5, PCIe 5.0 Ready, four M.2 slots, Wi-Fi 7, 2.5Gb LAN, HDMI, USB4 40Gbps, SATA 6 Gbps, USB 20Gbps Type-C

Pros: It works great in combination with the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, 64 gb Kingston CL30 RAM, 4 TB Crucial T500 M.2 hard drive in the first slot above the GPU slot and topped off with an Asus TUF RTX 5080 graphics card. This system is amazing, and my in game from rates have increased 4 times from my prior system.

Cons: There was a little hiccup regarding the CPU being new. I posted a picture of the screen. If you get this on your build just hit the Y button.

Overall Review: Since AMD says they will be retaining the AM5 socket for several iterations of CPUs this motherboard is rock solid and future proofed.
