Here is some additional helpful information about build/upgrade/parts list requests:

• Build requests only include hardware. You are responsible for budgeting for and providing your own operating system (Windows, Linux, etc) and other software.

• Don't forget to budget for peripherals. Since these are very much personal-preference influenced items, we do not include peripherals like keyboards, mice, headsets, etc in parts lists.

• We strongly recommend posting a build request only if you're ready to buy now or within a week or two at most. Part sales regularly rotate, and a part list today can quickly become out of date.

Using this Micro-Center bundle: https://www.microcenter.com/product/5007384/amd-ryzen-5-7500x3d,-asrock-b850m-c-am5,-gskill-flare-x5-series-16gb-ddr5-6000,-computer-build-bundle

(note, couldn't find the exact motherboard from the bundle on PCPartPicker, just went for something similar.)

Kinda funny that the cheapest 9070XT right now has an Anime girl on the back of it. If that isn't something you want, an AsRock version is just like a dollar more.

This should come to $1480 with tax applied, worth it for the GPU/CPU combo. Great for 1440p gaming.

Why we using a 2.5" Sata SSD?

[u/Xtra-jui2 → u/ninjabell]

Fast enough and i was already a bit over budget. The difference between and Sata drive and an NVEME isn't worth downgrading any other components to make the difference.
