The whole entire reason I am upgrading my pc...for that 10g port!!

The previous PC i have been running for 3 years (see the build in this section) was still going strong. I ended up putting 2 3090 RTX in SLI (NV Link) in it last year and it is still smoking fast, with no problems at all. The only NEW problem I have is that at my new house (we moved 2 years ago) we just got fiber internet here. I ordered the 5gigabit service. It's supposed to be 5000 down and 5000 up. I know, major overkill. I could do with much less. But i wanted the best after 2 years of being on a HOTSPOT, several OTHER cellular based internet services and Starlink. They got me by but now the real internet is here I went all out. The problem is, my PC, even though it says "2.5 killer ethernet" on the back, they are only capable of 1000/1000. That is still very nice. But not enough. I bought a 10g PCIE NIC to try and get the bigger numbers, but it wouldn't fit. The video cards take 3 bays each and hog the entire board. I can't get to the last open PCIE. So the next logical step is to get a new mainboard that can. Scratch that. Might as well build a new PC if i am going to do all that. So here are the specs of the 2023 Godlike build.

always with the great deals! Thanks Second Skin!!!!

as Brian just said.....some headunits do not distort at all which is a good thing. Set the amp up next with the headunit turned all the way up and report back.
