$850 for everything, and hopefully sometime next year another $699 for an RTX 3080 GPU if they're ever available to normal human beings who aren't using bots to snag them for crypto-mining.

The only thing I would change is to get a NVME drive for everything but other than that.

Forgot about replacing my corsair LED fans.

Got 3 black 140mm Noctuas for the case, and went ahead and got an all black Noctua NH-U12s cooler and an extra 120mm fan for push pull. Did some reading up, and apparently the Cooler Master 212 isn't up to snuff for overclocking an i9 10850k. Oh well, it was a $12 Prime Day buy, I'll keep it and throw it in another PC some day.

So everything is just going to be blacked out, with the exception of the small patch of RGB lighting under the chipset cooler on the new MSI MOBO and the nameplate on the GPU.

If it's too dark I'll just buy a chinese ARGB strip off Amazon and hide it somewhere for indirect light.
