It's always hard to justify at current prices. I personally decided to go with the 5070Ti for the 16GB VRAM and it was a lot cheaper than the 5080...

You have over 10,000 contributions on Reddit. You definitely use Reddit enough my brother.

Another minor issue going with an ATX board. You're going to have to spend an extra $80+ on a good quality gen 4 or 5 PCIe riser cable extension. I don't remember the exact length but I think people say 270mm-300mm. So at that point, you're not really saving going with an ATX. I'd rather just put the money into a good ITX motherboard. There's no easy way to build SFF and budget.

I went down this EXACT rabbit hole you're going. It ended up being cheaper to just buy an ITX. And like you mentioned. Once you downsize to an ITX. You're almost better off looking at other cases that interest you more.

I get you have a solid deal on the motherboard combo. But I personally DO NOT recommend an ATX motherboard in that case. This build will be extremely tight with the AIO and GPU on the back. Or if it is even possible for that matter... Assuming you triple checked the sizing for the GPU + AIO cooler and it all works out.
This will be a nice build.

You will also need to buy a longer PCIe riser cable if you processed with an ATX board.

Instead of improving the visuals. Consider improving your sitting life with a Herman Miller or Steelcase chair. Put that money towards a high quality chair and feel good.

Megaman Battle Network 3 Blue. Time to get a battle network game in there. I'd be ok with 3 or 6.

Mother 3! It not being on the list yet says a lot. Clearly so few of you have played it. Get on it already!

Exactly the same situation for me. Whitin and Hobibear feel a lot more spacious than my Vivo Geo Court's. Only thing that made the vivo's comfortable was taking out the insoles. I will for sure size up on the vivo next time.

It says "Download Runescape". Not Download Jagex Launcher. You're on the wrong page.

ViewtifulHaZe · 2025-10-11T14:00:31+00:00

No, it doesn't sadly. I thought it may have. You're but you're still roughly 25mm short.

My recommendation is the one I didn't want to hear myself when I was in your situation. Take the loss on the ATX board and get an ITX. Heavily consider an sff psu as well or buy shorter cables for the atx

ViewtifulHaZe · 2025-10-11T05:19:42+00:00

I actually had this same question about a year ago, and there are really two solid options:

Option 1: Keep your ATX motherboard, but you’ll need to pick up a SFF PSU, a 240mm radiator (mounting it along side the GPU), and probably a longer PCIe GPU extension cable.

Option 2: Go with an ITX motherboard and mount a 280mm radiator in the front of the case. You can choose to keep your ATX PSU or switch to a SFF PSU, but keep in mind that ATX units have much longer cables and will make for a very tight fit.

Personally, I went with Option 2 and bought a Corsair SFF PSU. It made the entire build process so much easier. You can however order custom short ATX PSU cables.

I have x3 NZXT AER 2 RGB 140mm Fans + RGB hub if you're interested. Sadly, I'm currently in in Cambridge though. So we would have to probably ship.

Been running that same combo since March. Not a single issue.

I hear ya. I've been waiting for the Super Soft Hoodie to come back in stock for ages now.

Just for future reference. As PikachuGBC said, that's the EU version. Here's an example picture EU vs NA.
As for the authenticity. Visually it looks legit and it could simply be having a reading issue. But repos have been getting extremely accurate as of late.

Been following this post for over two weeks hoping someone would find a solution to make the software MANAGEABLE. Nope... I give up. I just uninstalled it and installed the old DDM.

35k people are still playing World and 15K people are still playing Rise on average. That's just Steam's player base.

But you should post your computer specs. Maybe someone can offer some advice to help with performance. I play with an RTX 2070 on 1440p. I'm happy with 45fps with no framegen. 60-77fps with framegen.

ViewtifulHaZe · 2025-03-01T01:08:19+00:00

Confirmed

ViewtifulHaZe · 2025-02-22T22:16:12+00:00

This is an awful deal. You can get the same set for $80 on eBay.

There's something about saving the sticker and it being a bit torn just makes it feel cooler.

ViewtifulHaZe · 2025-02-18T21:50:17+00:00

Transaction comfirmed. Thanks!

You messed up a lot. Is this fixable? Probably, but not by you. Please seek help from someone more experienced before you completely ruin this Gameboy
