![Halsey - Control (Jay Aliyev Remix) [click for detail]](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_uQWg-pKwf8iHTo4NfmH6-BzOxVZxRY8GNP13t__4RGFLEXfO3vxJOgcw8R4EXu8loMqvv34zmUGubi6NlY95YXFFteGg7Ecwu9kbSY32oCWAo)
It took awhile but I finally got my hands on an RTX 5070ti at 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.
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. This time, I'm joining the light side with my Light Base.
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 a compact 12V GPU power cable. It makes for a much cleaner look & a direct connection to PSU.
- Added a white 8.8" IPS screen
- Added Mechabreak Falcon figure
Current specs:
- Case: White DeepCool Ch780
- Cooler: Lian Li Galahad II Trinity AIO cooler

| This white board is so nice. 3 more Nvme slots under that left cover |

I'm still adjusting things (clean up cabling and sync lights), but this is good enough for now.
