Just ordered the remaining parts for my PC:
- Ryzen 7900 (non-X)
- Sapphire Radeon 7800 XT (these two parts I have already)
- Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite Wifi motherboard
- Crucial Pro 128GB DDR5-5600 (2 x 64GB)
- 2 x Crucial T500 4TB PCIe 4 SSDs
- Corsair RM850x power supply
- Hyte Y40 / Y60 Hololive limited edition case (which I already have)
It needs a name but I might just re-use Frieren since the old Frieren laptop is slightly dead.
Or it could he Bae, Kronii, Ame, or Calli depending on which of the cases I use.
I haven't built a desktop PC in years. In 2017/18 GPUs were basically unavailable, so I got a couple of Dell all-in-ones.

In 2021/22 I was facing having to move house so I got a couple of full-size Dell laptops (which are still working well).
So the last time was... 2013, maybe?
I also picked up four Qnap 5-port 2.5Gbit hubs to wire up the house. Yes, Qnap, I know, but you can't really screw up an unmanaged hub and they were 70% off.
One each for the study, media room, and living room, and one to run the patch panel.
The second SSD was a last-minute thing, but I want to see if I can have an 8TB boot volume in RAID-0. If not, that's fine, it will just be two 4TB devices.
I expect this will be able to run Minecraft.

I am mulling over a refresh of my main rig and it is always interesting to see what other people are going with. But I thought you already had the 7800XT?
Though given how many companies had decided to screw with their customer base recently (MSI, Asus, et al....Even think Gigabyte was on the list too.), getting good components seem to get harder and harder.

I have the 7900 and the 7800 XT already, but not the remaining bits, and I'm not about to put the the 7800 XT in a system that's already ten years old and overheats.

Well, you helped me pick out the stuff for my recent-ish build, although I still haven't upgraded the video card, and am fighting off Win 11 updates.
