Use this thread for complete build posts, near-final parts lists, airflow reviews, and compatibility sanity checks.

When posting a finished build, include

• GPU, CPU, motherboard, RAM, PSU, case, storage, cooler, and monitor setup.
• Main use case: esports, 4K gaming, creator work, local AI, virtualization, or mixed desktop use.
• Any special constraints such as noise, heat, desk space, or transport.
• What worked well and what you would change.

When asking for a design review, include

• Your exact parts list.
• Case and GPU length limits.
• PSU wattage and connector availability.
• Cooling plan, intake and exhaust layout, and room temperature if it matters.
• Monitor count, resolution, VRR, HDR, capture cards, or unusual display routing.

Compatibility checklist

• PCIe slot spacing and neighboring cards.
• Front radiator clearance versus GPU length.
• 12VHPWR or 12V-2x6 bend clearance where relevant.
• Whether the board exposes enough M.2 and PCIe lanes for the actual workload.
• Whether the PSU has the right native connectors rather than risky adapter stacking.

Mixed-vendor builds are welcome. If AMD, Intel, or older hardware is part of the design question, include it. The point is a stable, sensible system.
