Well I think my 3080ti FTW3 is starting to act up and it was enough of an excuse to pull the trigger on a new build.  



Breakdown and details in the PC Part Picker link.  
Really happy with this thing so far... Even if the Radiator never made it inside of the case

I just built a new gaming computer. I went overkill because eventually it will be retired from gaming and used for other purposes.

Case: Phanteks Evolv X2
Power supply: Seasonic Prime TX-1600 1600W 80 Plus Titanium
Motherboard: Asus ROG CROSSHAIR X870E HERO
CPU: AMD 9950X3D
GPU: Sapphire NITRO+ Radeon RX 9070 XT
Cooler: Phanteks Glacier One 360 M25 G2
RAM: 32GB Gskill TridentZ DDR5-6400 CL32 Bad luck this time, only runs stable at 6200. Still fast though, so I'm not terribly upset.
Case fans: 6 Phanteks M25-120 G2  3 in the bottom, blowing upward. these are reverse flow so the fans aren't upside down. 3 in the top cooling the radiator exhausting through the top.

Storage: 1 Solidigm  1Tb NVME for the OS install, CachyOS Linux.
               4 Western Digital Blue SA510 4 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive merged together with BTRFS for a solid pool of 16Tb for all my Steam games.

I'll have to get pics later, but...

Case: Lian-Li First Generation all aluminum.  Cut a hole in the side panel and added a window, added frosted AMD logo.  This case has always had an AMD CPU in it.  (This was a $200 case over 20 years ago.)
PSU: Rosewill 850W Full Modular
MB: MSI B550 Gaming Plus
CPU:  Ryzen 7 5800X
Cooler:  Deep Cool AK620
GPU:  PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX9060XT 16GB
RAM: 64GB (4x16) T-Force DDR4 3200
SSDs: Samsung 990 2TB (System), Crucial P3 Plus 2TB (Data)
Drives:  Lite-On DVD-+RW/DL, Iomega 250MB Zip, 1.44MB Teac Floppy, Multi Flash Card Reader, 3.5" SATA Bay w/2.5" tray
Doodads:  5.25" bay drawer to store flash drives, 8 port internal US2.0 hub for the front USB ports, Floppy Drive & Flash card reader
Controllers:  Wireless Xbox 360 & PXN V99 racing wheels, pedals, shifter on a GTPlayer stand.

The last computer that was in this case was an AMD Athlon 64 with a geForce 8900.  

Award: 24/365 Most likely to be an appendix.

Upgraded this last month after almost seven years with a Ryzen 7 9850x3d, Asus RTX 5070ti, Corsair Vengeance 32gb DDR5, and swapped out the old Corsair 360 AIO with an Arctic Freezer III Pro. Also Upgraded my old 1440p 144hz monitor with a LG Tandem OLED 1440p 280hz monitor.

Finished my setup with a 5k LG GM950 hyper mini led monitor. Without a doubt, a dream setup for me.

Nothing fancy, just an old Optiplex SFF 7060
I5-8500, debating reflashing the bios and upgrading to i9 9900
32 gb ddr4 2666
2x 500 gb SATA ssd
Radeon Pro W6400 graphics

I put it together to run Solidworks but I guess when I downloaded Cold Fear it became a gaming computer. I’m going to grab Metal Gear Solid this weekend.
