Good Choice with the RTX4070 in that box. Can't wait to see what you get yourself into with this unit.

Congrats Brian! MSI builds a nice machine. When I was still traveling for work I games on a beast mode MSI Dragon laptop. My last desktop was also MSI. My current one is an Alienware with 3080 card and it's awesome. I haven't upgraded as for less than 4k gaming the 3080 runs everything I can throw at it. I will likely upgrade when I see a super deal on either a 4090 or 5090 card. Hoping to see some great deals around $2k on the 4090 systems when the 5090s roll out.

Thanks for your help. Your post really helped. I still a little concern about power running everything but will see how it goes. Besides the avr and tv I running 4 subs plus the other regular stuff.

The game I love the most purely for the graphics quality is Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC. It also has a great storyline. I am on my 6th play-through now.

I think you will be fine on a 20 amp circuit. I have overloaded my battery backups long before I tripped a circuit.

I was excited for it but have never been able to get into it. I think they made the keyboard and mouse controls overly complicated. Graphics and storyline are amazing. I really wish I could enjoy it.

Our Alienware R12 tower has a 3060 Ti, 2T SSD, 64G Ram, i7 (it’s liquid cooled) and it does good but my sons Alienware LT has the 4090, 4T SSD, 64G ram, i9….OH MY SCREAMING!!!………jcam you will like the 4090…..

Brian you did good getting the 4070….4k is awesome. Your whole build has everything you need to game really good! Congrats it’s always fun getting a new box! We run the 4070 on my companies production CADD Dell LT workstations that set us back about 5500 each…..

You should really consider trying a controller. I have played it with mouse and keyboard before but like you said, it's complicated. You will quickly get the controls down and can enjoy the game more.
