Not long ago the old PC started crapping out. It appeared to be power and/or thermal related. I had tried replacing mother board but after awhile it started again. At that point decided to build a new computer.
I ended up using these components and am writing this post from new machine:
- Cooler Master Case
- EVGA Power Supply
- Western Digital Blue 4TB Hard Drive
- Asus AM4 TUF Gaming X-570+ Motherboard
- AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU
- Samsung 970 EVO 1TB NVMe
- Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB RAM
I re-used the video card from the old PC. Believe it was Nvidia 1050. The biggest splurge might have been on the NVMe. With Covid, getting motherboard was not easy. I had planned on re-using prior case and power supply but as I started building I realized the prior case was micro-ATX and new mother board wouldn’t fit.
So far, pretty pleased with results. Not the most interesting benchmark but I’ve never seen a Windows machine boot faster.
