So what did you buy?
I figured I may as well resurrect this thread as I finally pulled the trigger - and I can now let the complaints roll in from folks who disagree with my decision making :-D
Sceptre 27" 144Hz QHD HDR400 IPS LED Monitor 2560x1440
-I really want 3 monitors (for productivity more than gaming), but I want to see how big one 27" monitor is before I buy more :-D
Phanteks Eclipse G500A Performance Mid Tower Case, Black
-No RGB (yay!)
EVGA SuperNOVA 220-P2-1600-X1 80+ PLATINUM 1600W Fully Modular PSU
ASUS TUF Gaming Z790-Plus WiFi LGA 1700 DDR5 Motherboard
Intel Core i9-13900KF
ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 360
-The no RGB version :-P
2x CORSAIR Vengeance RGB 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6400 (PC5 51200)
-Yes, 64gb is overkill, but given how long I keep systems, I may as well get it now
Sapphire 11323-02-20G Pulse AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT 20GB GDDR6
-Yes, I know the XTX exists but this was $799 and saves me a few hundred
-And if I'm not going to drop $$$ for a 4090, good enough is good enough
2x WD_BLACK SN850X NVMe M.2 2280 2TB PCI-Express 4.0
- Plan to run mirrored through Windows 11 for some redundancy
2x Western Digital 18TB WD Red Pro 7200 RPM SATA 6 Gb/s, CMR, 256 MB Cache
- Again, buying two for redundancy

I also picked up a Sony DualSense as my DS3 controllers are getting old.
It's not a perfect build, but it should hopefully last me a while.
