I have been a local system builder in Chicagoland for the past 15 years. Starting building computers over 20 years ago. My goals in designing a build and choosing parts is to create the best performing machine using the highest performing parts purchased for good prices. I shop parts I believe in so that when I a building I don't have to inflate the cost of the PC due to a very volatile PC parts market currently. If you have been looking for a custom PC that you can grow with and don't really want to settle for mediocre components in a prebuild, look no further. Prebuilts tend to have suspect low cost power supplies, mediocre or finicky motherboards lacking in features, the cheapest boot drives, and an expensive GPU you did not get to choose. These days the main value in that prebuilt is the DDR RAM and the GPU,. You might end up with an ASUs\S Prime, Windforce or cheap GPU that has little value on resale when there are better versions of that GPU on the used market for the same money. When I buy GPUs, I buy performance for the money. My GPUs speak for themselves. All of the GPUs listed in my posts have reached the pinnacle of 3D Mark benchmarking. Most 95% of all 3D benchmarks have hit #1 in the World for all 3D benchmarks. I a very proud of this feat considering these GPUs hit #1 in the World on air coolers. This should tell you right away you are buying a cherry picked card. Yes they are older Gen but for 1080P and 1440P still very very serviceable now and in the future for gaming and especially for workstation applications. You will see that not all the PCs I have built are gaming focused. Not all have RGB and I am starting to just build some blackout builds because people seem to like the minimal lighting effects while they are working.
*** I am still learning this CPU and the newer GPUs but climbing the leaderboards fast. This 5080 might not be my ultimate cherry picked GPU, however I am currently in the top 20 in the world on all benchmarks and #5 in the world on FireStrike Ultra. my call sign is illumon8. You will see me posted ona lot of CPUs / GPus on the leaderboards.***
Sometimes I build with the latest and greatest parts like this one here. I know people really like full white builds and felt this was a great group of parts to bring together. As you can see in the picture all parts are new in this build. I can send you the PC Part Picker on this system right now and it costs around $4400 if you sourced the parts and built it yourself. I was able to purchase the RAM, SSD drives and the RTX5080 and a great price before the major increases in the costs of these 3 main PC parts. I am passing my savings on to you.
The intake fans are all brand new Lian Li CL reverse blade fans and the other exhaust Lian Li fans are the normal directional fans. This give a much better look to the overall PC by not having to see the backs of fans. It also improves performance. Also, if you already have a GPU, I can sell you the PC without the RTX5080 for $1800. That's right, I am only asking $1350 for this RTX 5080. That is under cost after tax. I also have several current 3D Mark 1st Place Legendary GPUs I have had for testing that I am also letting go, but nothing left in white. I have an RTX3080 Suprim X, RTX3080 FTW3 Ultra_ RTX3070 ROG Strix, RTX3090 ROG Strix and another brand new sealed RTX5080 like the white one above but in black same price. We can talk prices of those GPUs if you are interested. I also have a brand new Alphacool Core one waterblock for this GPU if you want it watercooled. We can discuss that over the phone.

I always install Windows to make sure all parts are working and then I benchmark the system to make sure my customers will have a great out of box experience. If you would rather have a fresh copy of Windows, I can rest the PC to factory reinstalling Windows. I would then give you a USB stock with all the motherboard drivers to install on your own. It is very easy to do and I can even remotely help you if needed.
I also offer my customers free support on the PC. If you have any issue what so ever, I will take your call and assist you. Sometimes I may need to see the PC in person to diagnose any issue.
Over the last 15 years, I have built over 200 PCs for enthusiasts int he Chicagoland area. This is a huge passion of mine and I put a lot of time and thought in to coming up with symbiotic parts for the best aesthetic look and performance.
If you want one of the fastest performing PCs to date and in White Out, look no further.
If you are looking for something a bit cheaper but also performs great, I do have 4 other brand new PC builds that I am about to post. I will be listing the names of those craigs list posts below this text when they are complete.
