Hello! 

My old pc broke (ryzen 5 3600, 16gb ram etc  but im glad my GPU didnt brake at the same time also even tho its just a modest sapphire pulse 7700xt) so i had to build a new pc as i need it work my work etc. 

Upgraded to Ryzen 7 7700X with Asus TUF B650 PLUS WIFI mobo as it was on nice sale as package, then added 32GB of Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 that i got to run 34-38-38 @6000mhz and 2200FLCK. Cpu just PBO tuned to a point that i didnt gain significant amount of performance for the more power consumed. On my setup it was on about 122w TDP mark boosting ~5.3ghz all cores on Cinebench R23. GPU is from old setup Sapphire Pulse 7700XT oc'd and uv'd to 2950mhz on core and 2500mhz on mem @ 990 millivolts. It is ao far handling my needs. 👌

For data in my old pc i had 256gb NVME drive and 2x 1TB Samsung sata ssd drives and 4TB HDD but now on the new setup i upgraded to 3x 1TB WD Green Gen4 Nvme drives (Was on sale for 47,99€/pc so wasnt a bad deal!), those 2x1TB samsung ssd and that 4TB HDD! Im also never been a guy to back up stuff i bought a 4TB external WD HDD to backup some important stuff in case something would happen as im glad i didnt lose any data when the old pc broke and bought also 4th 1TB WD Green Nvme drive and external metal case for it to have a fast storage for my work stuff and photography!

As on my old setup psu was that died and killed cpu etc. i decided not to go for the chepest and got the Seasonic Focus GX-850 that is also LTTLabs approved and i have some power headroom for future GPU upgrades also and should handle them reliably! 

Everything was wrapped in Phanteks XT PRO mid tower with some added aRGB fans for those extra fps (need to convert that rear and 1 top fan to same fans as rest of pc). Tried my best to do nice clean wiring and make everything quite tidy as good as i can.  Cpu is cooled with a Blackstorm 240mm rgb AIO with push/pull configure. Fan curves set that it stays nice and quiet even in full load. 

Last but not least same day when i went to buy new parts i received my LTT Bottle in the mail, just in right time to help me hydrate during the build and have my first LTT Merc as a viewer for past 6 years. 

Im happy for the results, the upgrade i got and price paid.. Really notable performance boost on my work applications and also gaming a big performance gain especially 1% lows a huge improvement. Now im built ready for future with reliable components that are future proof and now i also have true backup solution for data in case something would happen to my important stuff on main drives.

Old pc broke so made a little upgrade and received my LTT Bottle at the same time to help hydrate through the build!
