Is the LIGHT REAPER good for 4K gaming?

Yes. The RTX 5080 pushes into 4K in demanding titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Black Myth: Wukong, and the 9800X3D keeps frame rates high. At 1440p it holds high refresh rates comfortably.

Do I need 64GB of RAM for gaming?

No. Most games run fine on 16GB to 32GB. The 64GB here helps with streaming, video editing, many browser tabs and heavy multitasking.

Is the Ryzen 7 9800X3D a good gaming CPU?

It is one of the fastest gaming CPUs you can buy, thanks to its large 3D V-Cache. It pairs well with the RTX 5080 and leaves headroom for future graphics upgrades.

What cooling and power does it use?

It uses a META 360mm all-in-one liquid cooler and a META 850W PCIe 5.0 power supply inside a Corsair 3500X case. The 850W unit leaves room for the 5080's power draw.

What comes installed?

Windows 11 Home is installed, along with a 2TB Kingston NV3 NVMe drive and 64GB of Kingston Fury Beast DDR5-6000 RGB memory. The ASUS X870 Max Gaming WiFi 7 board provides the networking.

Can I upgrade it later?

Yes. The AM5 socket, X870 board and 850W PCIe 5.0 supply allow CPU, GPU and storage upgrades. The 2TB drive leaves M.2 slots open on most X870 boards.
