Superman builds his own Gaming PC during downtime

Henry Cavill builds his first gaming PC_750x422

As a PC gamer, and yes, I still enjoy all types of gaming, it’s nice to see that the PC has seemingly been enjoying some much-deserved exposure. And it’s just the tip of the iceberg, it seems.

First, it was Terry Crews, Post Malone, and now, Henry Cavill, better known for his roles in ‘Superman: Man of Steel’ and Geralt from Netflix’s ‘The Witcher’ is now getting in on the action. Sure, he went on record stating he enjoyed PC gaming, but many didn’t believe him. According to him, his father got him involved in PC gaming as a child, and he’s even purchased several custom-built PCs.  Despite that, he never built his own, but that’s all changed as of now.

Even the Man of Steel can’t deny the beauty of PC gaming, and Henry recorded himself putting together his own gaming PC. It makes my heart proud to see not only does this PC look amazingly good, but he even went with the people’s champion, an AMD Ryzen 9 3900x. The other components aren’t any slouch either, as he’s paired the CPU with Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti,  32GB of RAM, NZXT Kraken all in one cooler. That’s a pretty kick-ass build, if I say so myself.

Check out how the build went below.

Interestingly enough, he also is found reading the manual, something that EVERY PC builder should do. Seriously folks, RTFM! Even Henry makes mistakes, and he noticed that the NZXT CPU cooler, which has an LED, was installed upside, so he goes back and fixes that… eventually.

After the build has been completed and fired up, he ends the video with “The end; or more realistically, just the beginning.”. He seems to be proud, and rightfully so!

Enjoy that PC, Henry, and be sure to put it through hell and back. By that, I mean DOOM Eternal and running The Witcher 3 with the highest possible settings. Of course, be sure to install some of those glorious The Witcher 3 mods, and that should keep him busy while we await the release of Cyberpunk 2077.

I wonder how he’ll fair in PC Building Simulator…. maybe someone should get him to try that out and record the antics that ensue.
