MoBo: ASRock Taichi X570
Storage: Crucial P1, 1 TB NVME SSD (boot) and Sabrent Rocket Q 4.0 2 TB NVME SSD (storage)
GPU: nVidia RTX 3080 Ti
PSU: Seasonic FOCUS 850GX, 850W Modular PSU
PSU cable kit: Cablemod Flex Pro black/white sleeved cables. GPU has 3x 8-Pin PCI-E, thus I had to use one original flat PCI-E cables
Chassis: Corsair 5000D Airflow with 6 x InWin Sirius Loop ASL120
OS: Windows 10My fellow hardware enthusiasts, what upgrades have ya'll performed in this horrible timeline?

I did yeah, bought an exact copy for my brother as well. Loading speed on this thing is beyond fast.

I'm jealous of that GPU! The rest of your hardware is very similare to mine except I took the Ryzen 9 5950X with the Be quiet dark pro heatsink.

Planning to get the Radeon 6800 XT to replace my old 980 soon :P

5950X, awesome! GTX 980 can still play, best of luck in GPU dystopia. Picked this Red Devil Ultimate up for $1600.

Ayy a 5000D! I got the 5000X, fantastic cases to work in (a lil cramped for custom liquid cooling but the 7000 is an option too). Great choice :D

And nice GPU.~ should make a post of my own just cause lol.

I have a running update of my rig going, interesting to see the evolution from non-RGB to RGB. X )

Yep xD a big reason why I love RGB is you can make a lot of themed builds and have a lot of options, and if anything can always turn them off :D

Nice rig. I have not upgraded anything from my PC from 2019(price hikes and all). Not a big fan of RGB, personal preference.

I was once the same way as you, but these fans have classy, thin rings. The photo is 'night mode' and absolutely does not do them justice.

Built a whole new one last summer just before everything went from kind-of-bad for buying stuff to oh-god-where-are-the-parts-at!? levels of shortages. Ryzen 5 3600X (just before the XTs came out), Gigabyte B550 Aorus Pro, G.Skill Ripjaw 3.2k mhz 32gb kit, 2x Sabrent Rocket Q 2 tb NVME drives (started with one for boot + games, grabbed a second just for games), Gigabyte GTX 1660 (I probably should have spent the extra for a 2060 while they were still around, oh well), a SeaSonic 650w power supply, a Seagate Barracuda 2tb drive for misc media storage, and stuffed it all in a Fractal Designs R6 that's nice and roomy and quiet with no glass side . Not exactly the best thing ever, but it suits the needs for the games I play and whatnot.

If you grabbed a 5700 XT for $380, you would be laughing right now and the rest of your rig is great! 1660 is aight for 1080p.

Yeah, 1080p is all I'm doing. I have two Dell 24 inch monitors because at that point all the gaming-centric monitors were on month+ waiting lists and the such. I'm pretty content with it, don't need the fanciest things in life. The next splurge I'm likely to do is just, like, a wireless card that can do bluetooth and some sort of SATA SSD to replace the 2tb media drive.

Did a new build using a QuadStellar case I tracked down. Radeon 6700 XT OC, X570-F, AMD 3700X (didn’t need more atm), Crucial Balllistix RGB 32GB, ASUS Thor 850.

Oh, and tried the new M1 from Apple via Mac mini.

Solid build, surprising performance out of the 6700 XT!

M1 seems nice, too bad Apple is Apple and closed-source, stuck in a vortex of chic-luxury pricing.

Exactly (on Apple). My last non-PC hardware upgrade was 2012, but I went permanent remote for work and it's a necessity. M1 is okay. I really like the phone app for some of the games I play. I love the new PC. I'll it the build was more to get the case than new hardware (though I needed it). Love at first sight. :D

I'm in due for an upgrade now myself. My specs haven't changed as much from my last time I posted.

Pretty terrible time for a new-gen GPU purchase, but you could go used a few gens ago and still not pay out the nose.

As it may be, the PC is showing its age. Its only a matter of time before I know it goes on me. I will most likely purchase it around Christmas.

Looking dang good on the states, especially that 3080 Ti given how impossible GPU's are to find at MSRP! I like the all black and white Aesthetics, nicely done!
