So I *almost* pulled the trigger on a $2600 or so cart on Newegg today that consisted of the following, but then decided to wait:

- AMD Ryzen 9 7950x ($699.99)
- Asus ROG Crosshair X670 Extreme ($999.99)
- Corsair Dominator 32GB DDR5-6200 ($339.99)
- Asus ROG Thor2 1200w Platinum II PSU ($549.99)

Doesn't even take into account new case (as I'm holding out for Lian Li to launch the Dynamic Evo XL that they announced over the summer), a new GPU (waiting on what AMD announces as an answer to the RTX 4000 series) and then what will be another $1000+ in custom loop components. EK has started to list their new AM5 blocks and such (and RTX 4000 series blocks) but nothing available to purchase just yet from what I can tell.

In short - it seems like this is going to be the most expense new build done to date (as I'm sure others are experiencing as well).

Has anyone else already pulled the trigger on new AM5 components while waiting on what they decide to do GPU-wise?
