My Setup
01 // CORE HARDWARE

GPU: ASUS RTX 3090 24 GB

24 GB GDDR6X. Got it mainly to run AI models locally, but not having to worry about game settings is nice too.

Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus

ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus

AMD X570 chipset, PCIe 4.0, dual M.2. Still not sure why they put the CMOS battery slot directly under the GPU. One of the RAM slots has also stopped working.

RAM: 32 GB DDR4-3200

32 GB DDR4-3200. Two Corsair Vengeance kits, out of which I can only use one because the motherboard is broken.

04 // PERIPHERALS

Keyboard: ROCCAT Horde AIMO

ROCCAT Horde AIMO

Membrane-hybrid keyboard with per-key RGB. I really liked the volume dial and the additional buttons, but the dial stopped working after a year and by now I rarely use the extra keys. I still like it.

Mouse: ROCCAT Kone AIMO 16K

ROCCAT Kone AIMO 16K

16,000 DPI optical sensor, RGB lighting. The scroll wheel no longer reliably works, but I love the ez-shift double assignment of buttons and being able to control my audio with it.

05 // AUDIO

Microphone: BEACN Mic

Dynamic USB-C broadcast microphone with onboard DSP — EQ, compressor, gate, noise suppression. Finally got a proper mic setup in early 2026 after my old headset fell apart.

Speakers: Logitech Z200
