Howdy all!
Managed to snag a few good deals on computer parts. I still can't get a hold of a decent graphics card, or the very latest AMD kit at a decent price - so I'm going to use the gcard I still have and go with another Intel platform. Here will be the specs:
-Intel i9 10900k 10-core CPU
-Corsair Hydro H100X CPU liquid cooler
-Gigabyte Z490 Aorus Elite AC motherboard
-32GB Corsair DDR4 2933 Vengeance RGB Pro
-AMD 295x2 8GB graphics card (from current system)
-500GB Samsung 970 EVO M.2 2280 PCIe x4 NVMe (for OS and apps)
-Two 2TB Samsung 860 EVO Sata3 SSDs (for games and data)
-Creative Sound Blaster ZxR (from current system)
-Internal all-in-one media card reader
-LG Super Multi Blue 16x bluray rewriter
-Corsair HX1200 modular power supply
-Corsair Obsidian 750D Airflow Edition full tower case (finally ditching my circa 2004 Thermaltake Kandalf full tower case)
-Corsair iCUE LED Node Core controller and Commander Pro with two SP140mm RGB intake fans
