I have a Be Quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 with the AMD 5950X. Now it has my "old" 32GB of RAM and FireCuda 2TB M.2, 2x 1TB Gen3 M.2 drives, and my 2080 TI. Those are components from my old 8700k build. This was in my 10-year old CoolerMaster HAF X case. It was time to retire that beast (one of the best cases I have ever owned).
I took the RAM and most of the other components, switched out the mobo and CPU. Put it all in a Corsair 4000D Airflow case.

Specs:
MSI MPG Z690 EDGE WIFI DDR4
128GB 3200MHz RAM (Trident Z NEO)
Intel Core i7-12700k
MSI SUPRIM X RTX 3090 GPU
1TB Gen4 WD_Black SN850 M.2 (OS)
2TB Gen4 WD_Black SN850 M.2 (games and video editing stuffs)
4TB Samsung 870 QVO 2.5" SSD (videos, and backup)
EVGA Supernova 1200 P3 PSU
3x Lian Li AL120 fans in the front. 2x SL140mm on top. 1x SL120mm exhaust.
Noctua NH-D15s heatsink/fan.

Nice, you do rendering or something?

5900x, 48GB ram, 3090, 4tb NVME, super flower 1000w PSU.

I guess it’s time to gear up for 4090 at this point.

Yes. I do 3-camera 4k videos, so editing on slow SSDs and with less RAM makes editing and rendering much less fun.

Understandable. I'm using a 5950X simply because at the time that's all that was available from AMD as all the 5900X's were sold out. Runs well, at least.

I'm gearing up for an RX 7900 XT (but must be at MSRP or near to it as humanly possible, no scalpers' pricing!), prolly do a CPU upgrade to a 5950X myself....but for now, pretty happy with my RX 6900 XT + 3900X.

Surprise: MSRP = scalper price

Newegg actually has an RTX 3080ti in stock, selling for near MSRP; a first as far as I know. When they were at MSRP, they weren't in stock, and as soon as stock came in scalpers jumped on them.

And because I'm a dingus I jumped on it, upgrading from a perfectly excellent RTX 2080ti.

Running Cyberpunk with raytracing at 60FPS is pretty sweet, and almost worth such a dumb impulse buy. I will say, that despite this being one of the most basic cooler designs, it runs exceptionally cool. It's like a full 10 degrees cooler than my 2080ti.

I just got my EVGA 12gig 3080 FTW3 Ultra at MSRP... Building my new PC finally now I got it

Nice! I normally go EVGA, but this Gigabyte one was the only one I saw near MSRP. No regrets, though.

It seems like the high end stuff is starting to normalize, but the more entry-level and mid-level stuff is still expensive.

It'll be nice to be able to recommend PC gaming to people again. Hah.

Things will crash hard as mining ends

There's just something funny about using a behemoth modern PC to get over 60FPS on Quake 2.

I think this has shown the biggest improvement over my 2080ti. I was sitting at around 45FPS with that, whereas I'm never dropping below 60 now. I think the improvement to RT cores is more beneficial to this game than the outright horsepower increase.

Built a VR Rig for sim racing:

AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Founders Edition

2x16GB Crucial Ballistix Sport LT Red DDR4-3200 CL16 (BLS16G4D32AESE)

It's kinda nuts that I still can't run full settings in most sims on my reverb g1. Still fun though.
