This is my first build, it started off with a budget of $2000. Then I was unsure if stuff would be compatible, so used the newegg Ai and it went up to $2500. I then made the mistake of putting the build into Chatgpt(which mocked my choices😂) to better customize it and ended up close to paying $4000 for the entire build. I know I overpaid, and still have much more for customisation and completing it. Yes, I learned all white builds/parts you pay extra for.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D

Motherboard: Gigabyte X870E AORUS PRO ICE (AM5)

Well mind you I’m coming straight from being on console my whole life since Snes. My most recent being series x. So my goal was 4k gaming with 30-60Fps on max settings. I also wanted to use the rig for a custom offline chatgpt, and an offline Ai generator. Oh I almost forgot to mention I also have a blu ray optical drive for watching movies etc.

Appreciate it, I definitely will add more. At the time of creating the post it said I was new so I could only post one picture.

well that should do it. I was just figuring if it was just for gaming you went overboard just a pad but not with the AI stuff

you might’ve spent 300 or $400 too much. But I know some of that is for the aesthetics and it looks great.

Yeah the issue was between the newegg Ai and chatgpt seeing a jump in quality being only a few hundred dollars more. It kept adding up to the point of the current price. I did also want future proofing to an extent. Being able to upgrade and keep the rig for 5+ years and get my moneys worth.

Just don’t ask Ai :joy: they’ll convince you that you can do better and it’s a better upgrade for only a little bit. Next thing you know your budget doubled :man_facepalming:t2:. I do appreciate the clean compliments, honestly making me rethink about adding anything else to it.

Honestly it was for the OS and maybe a few apps, I did add later 2TB for games but I plan on using 90TB NAS for all games.
