Welcome to 5+ years ago.
That size has been normal for alot of games for years now.

4k all the things.
5.1 all the sound.

The biggest, hugest, most gigantic difference I made for keeping dust to a minimum was putting my case on an approx 10mm board so it was no longer sitting on the carpet.

then i've been saying that for the last 5 years.

i don't understand why games can't use the same core functionality files as other similar games from the same studio. i mean, anyone that plays COD likely has more than just 1 of their games, can't these programmers make the install file smart enough to search out what is actually needed, instead of just installing the same files over and over again...

Got my new case yesterday and immediately moved the components over. It was a bit tricky figuring out the best way to run cables to keep things neat, considering this was only my second time putting a PC together. But it turned out great. The Samsung 980 Pro M.4 is BADASS (I upgraded my storage , BTW). Holy hell, that thing moves files at insane speeds.

Now I am fully satisfied with temperatures and performance of the computer. Or am I?

Plus the game patch and drivers. Since it's EA, you probably have to purchase the update and patch.

Patience my child. Once I give finalizing touches today I will upload them.

Pictures of the new case. Planning to get a stand so that it doesn’t sit so close to the carpet.

Cabling looks good. I would route the cable from the cpu block using the mosfet heatsinks to hide it.

I have this NVME and it's amazing! it's only 500gb, but it's for my boot. Then a 1tb Samsung 970 Evo for games.

It does really bug me. But will do! Didn’t think of that. Tried my best with the rest of the cabling.

Can’t wait for Farcry 6 next week and enjoy those sweet sweet quick loading times.

So upon closer detail to my case. I realized that I didn't order the wrong one. Came to realize while mounting the fans and seeing how only 2 could be mounted both top and front, and I clearly remembered reading on the specs about 3 on each side. Plus two on the bottom. I thought maybe I messed up ordering on the app.

Went back to the app and looked at the charges, and I got charged for case that I thought I was getting, not the one I ended up getting.

The difference between them is by two numbers in serial numbers. Since I already threw away the box, I'm trying to get refunded the price difference at least. Kinda bummed out but this case works great too, improved airflow, and better cable management than the last one I had. Attention to detail lacked in me.
