RTX 2080

I am a computer science student and a PC hardware enthusiast and love pushing my hardware to the limit. My first rig was a store-bought HP desktop with a first gen i7 processor and an incredibly slow AMD Radeon 4350 GPU. I eventually upgraded to an AMD 6850. I hung onto this for a long time, went through several laptops of various kinds before building my first gaming/multimedia PC in February 2019:

Case: Thermaltake Suppressor F31 mid-tower
Fans: 6 x Noctua NF-A14 3000 RPM
Motherboard: MSI Gaming Edge AC Z390
CPU: started with an i5-8400, returned it and upgraded to an i7-9700K
GPU: RTX 2080 Founders Edition
RAM: 32 GB Generic Corsair
SSD: Samsung 970 Evo 2 TB
HDD: 2 x WD Gold 4 TB in RAID 0
Optical: LG UHD Blu-ray (for ripping 4K discs)

When I started Folding a year later, I ditched my generic air cooler for a Corsair H115i and switched my PSU out for a more efficient Corsair AX1000. Then I added an RTX 2060 KO in May 2020 to support additional COVID-19 research for Folding@Home. The GPUs run at PCIe 3.0 x8 speeds and together generate 4.5 - 5.5 Million PPD.

I'm in my 20's, but I'm old school and don't use any social media. Life is more pleasant without it.
