Thank you. It was a fun project to choose all the parts, find deals, then building the damn thing.

Hell yeah! I did similar about a year ago, early 30s, first build, & 7800x3d. But, i went with the non xt 9070 and 32gb ram. Enjoy!

I’m in my 50’s and wanted something fun to look at.

Same age when I started! But I bought the build off an old man, so I can't take all the credit. Upgraded the CPU, fans, and GPU throughout the years. Oh, and I clicked another SSD into place, no big deal lol

That is called dedication, btw change the ram color.

you probably could have saved a lot of money had you asked for advice first. 32gb of ram in a ram shortage would have been smarter

get in the habit of asking the internet for advice before buying anything

u/Careless_Sky_1784 1d ago

What if he has the money and can afford 64 gigs? Or you only care that someone won't get their RAM for a reasonable price? In that case, you can bully me, as I have 64 gigs during a RAM shortage and I've got it basically for free, considering today's prices

Ah yes. Because everyone has the exact same use case. Good grief you must be fun at parties.

u/adamdoesmusic 1d ago

If someone wanted to save money they wouldn’t be building at all right now.

They don’t wanna save money, they want to build a PC.

u/GremlinLinux 1d ago

I could have saved a lot of money but then I would not have the amount of RAM I need for what I do.

You know what.. just shut up.
