I went from the build advice posted here https://techenclave.com/threads/60k-pc-build-for-1080p-black-myth-wukong-and-similar-titles.226705/ to the final build as mentioned below!

The parts and specs are as below

Got all parts from Phoenix Technology Nx, Lamington Road last week.
Paid 1.04L.

I managed to break the glass last week while trying to open the cabinet to add my old harddrives. ‍:(

I called the store people and they are getting me a replacement today for a total cost of 0/- :hearteyes:
Phoenix Technology Nx gets a big +1 from me!

I also got this Evofox One S controller a couple of weeks ago.

The gaming journey after almost 20 years has begun with Ghosts of Tsushima and it's so wow!

My previous 2 cabinets glass side panels shattered 2 times and I got them replaced by paying 1.8k each and now using matx mesh panel. Is good but can't see inside although I don't have to worry about anything shattering.

Same config as OP and need to add latest GPU now.

OP How much fps are you getting on 1440p in Witcher 3 or Cyberpunk 2077?

So the journey started from 60k and reached at 1.02L.
Glass panels are extremely brittle cum heavy hence I'm a huge fan of the good old fiber glass.
But today seems all brands have shifted to glass for sheer aesthetics with the bonus add-on of huge risk only to pass on to the buyer forcing him to buy another case in case the glass breaks of his existing case. And thus its a case of pure biz..

Case case pe likha hai glass phodne vale ka naam!

It also makes it heavier. Transparent plastic should be so much better.

Should be in -

I went from a similar older build(same mobo with i7-4790k) to a newer one this year, so I feel you. Happy gaming :)

If the panel hits ceramic floor, then good chance of it shattering.
What i do is always remove it over bed and keep it on bed at all times.

Nice jump in performance.

Yes, I did the same while removing the old one and putting in the new one now!

Yet to install/play either of them. Will let you know by this weekend. Also, I know Cyberpunk 2077 is standalone, but is Witcher like a series? Will I have to play 1/2 to get the story?

Yeah, 60-->1L. I hope I utilise it and don't feel bad for splurging later!
Also, wouldn't glass panels make for better cooling compared to acrylic / plastic ?
