Just curious what kind of rigs does everyone have? I just built a new rig after having the same one for the last 10 years or so. I also replaced the case and PSU.

Core i9 9900K water cooled

ASUS - Z390 ROG Maximus XI Hero WiFi Intel LGA 1151 ATX Motherboard

Corsair - Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 PC4-25600 CL16 Dual Channel

Samsung - 860 QVO 2TB SSD 4-bit QLC V-NAND SATA III 6Gb/s 2.5" Internal Solid State Drive

Corsair - Force Series 1TB SSD 3D TLC NAND MP600 M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe Internal Solid State Drive

And the only thing I did not replace the video card.

MSI - GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Ventus XS Overclocked Dual-Fan 6GB GDDR6 PCIe 3.0 Video Card

sounds good, but personally I am going for one of the top end AMD Ryzen Cpu;s, probably the 9 3900, Custom case from coolmaster with liquid cooling 64 gb High speed Ram, High power modular power unit. Specialist mobo (around £600) and then probably a couple of amd radeon 5900XT or the latest version. A 500GB ssd just for windows, then a 2tb SSD as well as a 4Tb hrad drive plus all my current external hard drives or a large NAS and I'd probably top that off with the best curved monitor that sony produces.

Nice, your gpu is a bit better for sure lol. I want the 2081 ti but that is a bit out of my price range just now.
 
tried to make it good all around "video editing, streaming, game play, pc work station, ect"

I was debating on the AMD build and almost went for it. But since im primarily just using mine for gaming and not editing or anything else that would need the multithreading I went with Intel to save a few bucks.

Mines the same just the Ryzen chips have more. Just did not need it for games. The intel runs like a beast as is.
 
when I was learning to build custom pc's the guy that was teaching me had a batch of intel cpu's that were all dead on arrival, so he switched to AMD when AMD were way behind intel and hass never looked back, so when I started building for myself and friends I stuck with amd although depending on what the customer wanted I was happy to use Nvidia cards

AMD has made some leaps and bounds with their chips and it is clear intel is finally lagging behind. Hopefully it will push them for some more improvements.
