It took awhile but I finally got my hands on an RTX 5070ti for MSRP. 😁
I wasted more time trying to secure this card than I can admit, but it finally happened. The BestBuy queue system I hated so much finally delivered.
Here's the final piece of the gaming computer puzzle I've been building: Nvidia RTX 5070ti.
I added faster CL30 RGB RAM but the rest are re-used from my previous fishtank build.
My previous gaming PC was a Dark Base so now, this is my Light Base.

I'm still adjusting things (clean up cabling and sync lights), but this is good enough for now.
July 2025 update:
- Swapped to a white motherboard (Aorus X870e Pro Wifi)
- Swapped PSU to a modern BeQuiet 850W Power Supply to fix coil whine on my GPU and to get native 12V Pcie 5.1 GPU rail. It makes for a much cleaner GPU cable.
- Adding a white 8.8" IPS screen.
Current specs:
- White DeepCool Ch780
- Lian Li Galahad II Trinity AIO cooler
- BeQuiet 850W Pure Power PSU
- Gigabyte Aorus X870e Pro Ice Wifi7
