It's no secret at this point that Henry Cavill, who starred as Geralt of Rivia in Netflix's adaptation of The Witcher, is a gamer – he's told interviewers about his put him in The Warden and The Paunch DLC for Total War: Warhammer 2. Now he's finally had a bit of time to build himself the gaming PC of his dreams.
Cavill posted a video of his build to his Instagram, and it shows a good bit of the process. It's also extremely relatable – Cavill may be an expert with a bastard sword now, but it takes him a couple tries to get everything assembled correctly in his new PC.
He's clearly sprung for quality parts, though: Cavill's chosen an AMD Ryzen 9 processor (perhaps the best U for gaming) and an Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti GPU to build his system around. The Butcher of Blaviken likes to keep things cool, too – he's picked up a swish-looking NZXT Kraken Z73 liquid cooler for his U.
Here's the video:
Perhaps the best bit in the video is when he powers the PC on and discovers that he's mounted the NZXT U cooler, which features an LCD display , upside down. A day later, he's put everything right, and the PC looks sharp as a tack.
As you might expect from someone who does most of his work in film, Cavill's put together a pretty entertaining video here: there's setup, conflict, and resolution, with a touch of suggestiveness thrown in for good measure. He's even included a groovy Barry White soundtrack and title cards. As the clip wraps, one reads, "The end; or more realistically, just the beginning."
Now that Cavill's PC is up and running, he'll need to start installing all the season 2 of Netflix's The Witcher series starts filming in August.
