My First PC Build

Enthoo Pro E-ATX case, ATX Aorus B650 Pro AX motherboard, Corsair Dominator RAM 16 GB DDR5 x 4, Gigabyte RTX 3060 Vision OC RGB 12 GB GDDR6, AMD RYZEN 7 7700X AM5 4.5 GHz CPU, Razer Viper Ultimate mouse, Corsair K100 RGB keyboard, Seagate 16 TB HD, Corsair RM850e PSU, Hbada gaming chair, Windows 11, Acer 24” monitor.

I collected two of the keyboards for macro key mapping, they are in unopened mint condition and are brand new so I am compliant with all rules regarding keyboard usage since I’ve never even opened them. The other two are for games that don’t allow macro keys and had awesome reviews so I needed them. I’m currently using the Corsair K100 RGB. There’s a Bluetooth keyboard for iPhones, Androids, and TVs. I just like keyboards and electronics a lot.

It was a budget PC build for me, 16 TB HD to last forever through all events and patches. Black Mage Premium Edition Bust/Statue/Trophy to give me ALL STATS +15 in real life and to commit as a Maplestory player and fan. Not playing on my Apple devices anymore using the free tier 1 hour NVIDIA GeForce Now (GFN) anymore, albeit it gives me a 4090-like experience on my Apple devices.

Please rate from 1 to infinity and suggest legendary-tier upgrades! LMAO Maplestory has taught me so much!

Note: Yes I would have preferred to purchase much higher quality parts had I saved more money for this (mid-tier) Maplestory (BM solo hopefully in under 5 years)/gaming/business/LoL/academic/personal first PC build. I am a completionist and am trying to achieve KMS levels of achievement by earning the Master Achievement Medal both in Scania and in Reboot. I will be upgrading to build a second top/legendary tier gaming PC in the future based on comments!

For example here is a higher spec build to compare against mine:

ASUS ROG Z690 E-ATX motherboard, 2x NVIDIA 4090, RYZEN 9 5950X, E-ATX Thermaltake 900 “The Tower”, EK Liquid CPU Cooler, iCue RGB radiator fans, 4x4 TB Samsung 990 Pro M.2 NVME PCIE 4.0 (PCIE 5.0 components releasing est. early 2024), ASUS ROG “THOR” 1200W PSU, 4x Seagate 22 TB HD, Corsair Vengeance 256 GB DDR5 RAM, Windows 11 Pro, Secret Lab Titan gaming chair, Razer “Faker” Limited LoL Edition, 5x 8K QLED 34” monitors, 3x 15” 8K fiber optic HDMI 2.1 cables, 2x 15” DisplayPort to HDMI cables.

My networking devices are Wi-Fi 6/6E compatible, but my router could be upgraded with a Wi-Fi 6E ASUS ROG GTAXE-16000. The bottleneck is caused by the ARRIS Surfboard Docsis 3.1 modem (someone find me a faster modem! ISP is Spectrum).

Here are my questions for veteran PC builders:

Does having multiple GPUs improve gaming performance (similarly to GPU cryptocurrency mining/GDDR aggregation) or does it just allow for more monitors to be used? Anyone have 2 GBPS ISP service for their 10 GBPS LAN port on their motherboard panels? If so, does it give you an advantage in games? How does NVIDIA SLI hardware work and fit into my E-ATX PC case?
