HYTE Y70 Touch - Snow White

Build Description

After discovering the HYTE Y70 Touch case just a day or two after the company announced that they had exhausted the global supply of the integrated 4K touch displays, I was both in love and heartbroken. I loved the case design and the novelty of the built-in touch display, but now they were sold out everywhere and being sold for exorbitant amounts on the second-hand markets. I had signed up for a few waiting lists for on sites like B&H in hopes that one might appear in stock somewhere. My friend and coworker heard me talk about this case for days and weeks as I spent all of my free time trying to find one for near retail price to no avail. Then one day, while that coworker is on vacation, I get a text from him saying he had received an email from B&H offering him a 30-minute window to purchase one from some stock they had held back. He knew how much I wanted one, and put himself on the waitlist! Now that he had secured one for me, I had to build a machine worthy of such a hunt!

Favorite Feature

Obviously, my favorite and most sought after piece was the case. It's large, beautiful and easy to work in and the touch screen is fun to play with and customize! I also love the Gigabyte B650 AORUS ELITE AX ICE motherboard, not only is it a great board with so many awesome features, but Gigabyte is seemingly the only manufacturer putting white PCBs on some of their boards. In addition, I love the Lian Li fans, AIO and strimers. The simplicity of connecting the fans together, their performance and customizability made them a must for me. The AIO is great as well - It performs great and has a fantastic large display over the CPU. The strimers are costly and just for the extra flex and appearance, but I feel they really help to bring the whole machine together. Finally, the GPU is a powerhouse and is almost the size of a house! I needed a beefy and beautiful white GPU to grace this build.
