Help build me a PC (because I haven't been keeping up)

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.

Ewww on the graphics card. You could've had a 7900XTX used on the [H] forums for like 825.

I don't buy used graphics cards :-P

Well up to you. I wouldn’t buy an AMD card. Plenty of 4080s going for 900 at Hard forum. Also 7900xtx for like 825-850. I even saw a 4090 go for 1350.

Can’t beat prices on used hardware. Most warranties are transferrable and dudes are legit sellers.
