25M, on my own in my new apartment

After a few months, I am getting my new apartment furnished-so far! Just patiently waiting for Fall to roll around to start school. This is my very first time living on my own in my own place with just my name on the lease.

Edit: I didn’t realize I never finished the post 💀 I have alot of plans for how I want it to look in the end. Thanks to my friends and family as well as the VA for helping me get to this point. When I first moved, all I had was my desk and my simulator and my tv, as these were things I had from my last place. I wasn’t in a place to comfortably afford furniture. Without any of them, I wouldn’t be in this fortunate situation!

Making the Biggest Change To My PC!

After 6 years of using AMD GPU's, and 4 years of being on my AMD XFX 6900xt Merc 319 Black Edition, it was time for me to make the change to the dark side! Yes I know the pricing of GPU's are astronomical but it was achievable. I built this PC back in January 2025 in preparation of getting a 5090, either a standard Astral or the FE, but since the white was the same price, it was a no brainer. Ordered it Monday on the 22nd of June and got it today on the 26th. The week has been torture lol.

PS: I know my AIO screen is upside down lol, it didn't align itself yet at this point in time.

SPECS:

  • R9 9950X
  • ASUS ROG ASTRAL 5090 OC WHITE
  • 64GB 6400MT/S
  • ASUS ROG X870-A GAMING WIFI
  • NZXT 360 ELITE RGB AIO
  • 4X 120MM LIAN LI SL LCD FANS
  • 2X 140MM LIAN LI TL FANS
  • 13 TB OF STARAGE (MIX OF M.2s / 1 HDD)
  • H6 FLOW CASE
  • NZXT C1000W 3.1 PSU

Now being that it is my first Nvidia GPU, especially the 5090 variant, what should I be on the look out, download (besides MSI Afterburner and GPU Tweak III), test out, how to run it, etc.? I want to see what this card is capable! As well as prevent any issues.

Also, give me your experience, good and/or bad. Would like to engage with y'all.

My First Impressions:
This thing is, WOW, out of the box, before plugging it in, the size and weight of it is just wild.
I did a few before and after benchmarks on 3DMark, CP2077, and Black Myth: Wukong, starting on the same settings as the old card and seeing what the new card can do, and boyyyyy, it is a walk in the park! So far, its been around 66c and no fan noise at all(i know the Astral cards can get loud).
