Buy Low, Sell High

Found all the things in-stock at MSRP or on-sale...

Final build:

  • Ryzen 5 5600X
  • ASUS TUF GAMING X570-PLUS
  • 2x8GB 3600MHz DDR4 CL16 (B-Die)
  • MSI 3070 VENTUS 2X OC
  • 500GB WD BLACK SN850 PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe M.2 SSD
  • 512GB ADATA Ultimate SU800 SATA 6Gb/s SSD
  • Samsung HMD Odyssey+
  • Audient iD14 (MKI)
  • Cooler Master G750M
Just gotta figure-out a case and throw-in some data drives... Would splurge for a LIAN LI LANCOOL II Mesh Performance, but they're sold-out everywhere; saw a few over the holidays, but I balked. Still have that iStarUSA D-400 in the meantime, I guess.

I figure I put ~$500 into my current computer over the past ten years, going from the i7-930+X58 to the 3930K+X79, from the GTX 780 to the 1070... I'm keeping all the other parts, but should be able to get ~$1000 CDN for it after throwing-in a barely-used Corsair CX500 I already have, and an old 7200RPM HDD. Otherwise, it'll go to a friend or family member in need.
