Updated gaming desktop for 2025

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
• Power Supply: BeQuiet 850W Pure Power PSU
• Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus X870e Pro Ice Wifi7
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7700X (from an old combo)
• GPU: PNY RTX 5070ti OC
• RAM: G.Skill Trident Z5 32GB DDR5-6000 CL30
• SSD: Samsung 990 Pro 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME
• Case fans: Thermalright TL-S12W Fans 3-Pack
• Misc: 8.8" IPS system stat screen

This figure is awesome in a kneeling pose but there isn't enough space so I've settled for this pose

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

Tried diffent location for 3.5" Lcd screen after switching PSU and horizontally mounted GPU

Vertically mounted GPU

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