sorry about spamming your feeds with 17 cross-posts. that was not right and I won't do it again, I promise!

I would just like your feedback and opinion, good or bad, on the PC components I have on a project I've made called "bestof". I've worked on it for quite some time, and after some recent changes to improve the PC builds section I think it is ready to be shown off.

a few notes:

  • only recommending CPUs that aren't on dead platforms for upgradeability reasons. however, if you are on a budget, I have mentioned the 5600, 12100F, 12400F, and the 5700X3D as solid options
  • PC cases are almost 100% subject to personal preference, I just suggested a few popular options as well as some good cheap ones
  • I did not recommend the RTX 4090 as most people don't need it unless they have money to burn. Both AMD and Nvidia GPUs have been mentioned

If you have any questions or think any of my picks are wrong (which many of them probably are) then please lmk!

You mention money in your arguments but you never provide pricing of those components. It doesn't help in the current wild pricing environment.

I'd also like to mention https://www.logicalincrements.com/ that basically does what you are doing on a wider scale.

I'm not a spam bot, I'm just a dumb dumb for posting the same thing 17 times (won't do it again hopefully!)
