Had to put this off for a long time. We replaced the carpeting upstairs with new flooring and other expenses kept popping up each month. I often have a hard time justifying large purchases for myself, but finally decided what the heck. I haven’t been playing on my test setup much lately since newer tables were proving too much for my old PC. It was kinda bumming me out that I had to wait to upgrade, but wait no longer! Here’s the inventory list:

  • Intel Core i7-13700F 2.1 GHz 16-Core Processor
  • Gigabyte B660M DS3H AX DDR4 Micro ATX LGA1700 Motherboard
  • Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory
  • Samsung 980 Pro 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive
  • MSI GAMING X TRIO GeForce RTX 4070 Ti 12 GB Video Card
  • Corsair RM750e (2023) 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

For now, I’m using an old case I had lying around in the basement. Had to drill out the hard drive enclosures in it so the massive video card will fit. Next steps is to plug everything in, install Windows 11, then all the vpin software and configure it with my setup. Then the fun of going through and adding tables.

Later this summer, hoping to build the table itself. I really enjoy wood working, so looking forward to that. Stay tuned!
