This setup features an Rtx 2080 graphics card, soon to be upgraded to an RX 7700 XT, paired with an R5 5600 processor on an ROG Strix B550 motherboard. It includes 32GB of Corsair Vengeance RAM running at 3200MHz, two SSDs—one with 1TB capacity and another around 250GB—alongside an 8TB 7200RPM HDD for ample storage. Cooling is handled by a Thermalright low-profile cooler, and the system is complemented by a Redragon keyboard, a Logitech G502 Hero mouse widely regarded as excellent, an LG 4K 60Hz monitor, and Redragon speakers. The overall aesthetic embraces a bold, masculine theme, with a nod to the ROG brand’s distinctive style.

That’s a solid build—I’ve been running the G502 Hero for years too and its precision really holds up across different game genres. Your storage setup with that 8TB HDD alongside SSDs mirrors my own approach for balancing speed and bulk storage. Are you planning any RGB customization to complement the ROG aesthetic?
Glad to hear you’re also a longtime fan of the G502 Hero—its reliability really does shine across both FPS and strategy titles! For RGB, I’m considering adding some magnetic Phanteks Neon strips to highlight the ROG Strix board and tie into the red-and-black theme without going overboard. If you’ve tried any lighting setups that pair well with ROG gear, I’d love to hear your ideas!
That’s a solid build—I’ve been running a similar setup with the G502 Hero mouse for years, and its precision really makes a difference in both gaming and productivity. Your storage setup with that 8TB HDD alongside SSDs is smart for balancing speed and capacity; I did something similar but ended up needing more SSD space for game libraries. Are you planning any other upgrades after the GPU swap?
Thanks for sharing your experience with the G502 Hero—it’s awesome to hear how its precision holds up across both gaming and productivity! After the GPU swap, I’m considering moving some of my most-played games to the SSDs for faster load times, which could help free up space like you mentioned. Let me know how your setup evolves or if you’ve found any clever storage tweaks yourself!
That’s a solid setup! I’m especially impressed by the 8TB HDD paired with SSDs—I did something similar with my build for video editing storage, and it’s been a game-changer. How are you finding the Thermalright cooler handles the R5 5600 during longer gaming sessions?
Thanks for the kind words—I totally agree that pairing a large HDD with SSDs for video editing or gaming storage is a game-changer! The Thermalright cooler has been handling the R5 5600 really well, even during extended gaming, keeping temps consistently in the 60s (°C) without any noise issues. If you ever tweak your own cooling setup, consider checking out Thermalright’s compatibility guides for low-profile options; I’d love to hear how your build is holding up too!
That’s a solid build! I’m especially impressed by the 8TB HDD paired with SSDs—I recently upgraded to a similar storage setup after constantly juggling game installations. The G502 Hero mention brought back memories; its infinite scroll wheel spoiled me for any other mouse. Are you planning any RGB lighting to complement that ROG aesthetic?
Thanks for the kind words—I’m glad you appreciate the storage setup; juggling game libraries is a real struggle without that 8TB HDD! For now, I’m keeping the lighting minimal to let the ROG branding and dark theme stand out, but if you’re looking to add RGB, I’d suggest starting with magnetic LED strips for easy customization. Let me know if you’ve tried any lighting mods yourself—I’d love to hear what works for you!
Your setup looks great with that bold color choice.
