-This was my quartine build. Started with a Ryzen 5 1600 and rx 580 8gb and turned it into this build today. I had upgraded to a 2070 and sold it for $550 then bought a 3070 from a local seller for $950. I have a 360mm aio set as an intake in the front and it keeps the CPU under load below 60C which is great.
-Now the reason for the undervolt on my 3070. My 550 PSU but I did undervolt to .975V at 1920 Mhz core clock which not only means lower temps but about 50W less power draw. It runs cooler which helps with the internal temps of the case.
-The fans I have are set for 3 intake (front of the case AIO) and 3 exhaust (2 on top 1 at back) which keeps this pc cool. I want to get better fans as I have 3 decent EK aio fans and 3 bad exhaust fans (want to get Noctua Redux 1700RPM fans that move a lot of air and are below 20db on max load.) Then the front panel is from the new Phanteks p400 Digital i bought the mesh front panel from the website for $25 and put that on my case instead.) te original front panel had only 2 intake (top and bottom) that basically choked the pc airflow wise and created hot temps so If you are to build i do recommend getting the mesh front panel version (p400A Digital) that comes with 3 RGB fans as well for only $90!
-As I said I run 1440p on everything. For the most part, everything FPS comp wise (warzone, apex, etc.) are set to mostly low settings but for better-looking games like Divison 2 dying light (upcoming BF2042, Halo Infinite, Dying Light 2, The Day Before) I want to crank settings to max and get the visual experience and performance experience that is intended. Having that IPS display and HDR makes games look that much better.
-Overall this Pc built is a dream and the custom sleeved cables by Asiahorse and the Deadpool pop-funk just make it that much better and add some personality. Any feedback is welcome if you think I should be doing something different!
-(don't worry I will be getting an 850W 80+ gold when I upgrade my CPU so I can overclock my GPU even more to over 2000Mhz.) (Update on that my 550w psu died. So I ordered a coolermaster 8502 v2 80+ gold fully modular one.)

Part Reviews
CPU
Strong CPU that can handle gaming and streaming as a single PC setup! (I used NVENC New for the gpu Render in Streamlabs)
CPU Cooler
Keeps the cpu under 60 C under load which is amazon as hot temps can shorten lifespan of Parts!
Motherboard
Wish I had gotten a ATX board instead but I was on a tight budget so this was the best! gets the job done but maxes out at 3200Mhz for ram
Memory
Great ram never had a problem at 3200Mhz
Storage
Boot Device with few games. Fast read/write speeds
Storage
Bulk storage for game. Fast read/writes and load times are quick!
Video Card
Honestly such a powerful card for 1440p. Undervolt is set at .975V and 1920Mhz and it used around 50W less power and stays under 65 under load! 10/10 card (i bought mine for $950 so deff didnt get lucky)
Case
Great case layout, cable management, and building was a dream. Knocking a star because this front panel is death for a PC. DO yourself a favor and buy the version with the front mesh panel instead. But if not buy the front mesh panel off of Phanteks website it cost about $25-30 after shipping and will save your PC
Power Supply
No problems whatsoever. Wish i would've future proofed a little when i first built and went with an 850w but works flawlessly!
Keyboard
The keyboard is awesome! Not too clickly and loud but definetly a quality keyboard! a great choice for only around $100 USD
Mouse
No issued old mouse started to go so this was the replacement and honestly best mouse I Have used yet!
Headphones
I don't use the mix amp (don't flame) but my onboard sound drivers are perfect. I hear all the footsteps and can't complain. It is a little heavy but I take the speaker tags off so it isn't as bad. other than that sound is 9/10.
I know I didn't put my microphone but the blue yeti... well who hasn't heard how great the mic sounds! I have it on a boom arm with a foam cover!
