Fenvi are having a bit of a clear out also, not sure if they would work, but I love the red heat shield, very festive!.

Here's a complete 10th gen system for under 500 USD. When I started my first hack (2nd gen Intel) over ten years ago now, I spent over 600 USD but didn't get anything comparable to this. Not as powerful, not as nice. I had a dual core i3 CPU, 8gb of ram and a 64GB Crucial Sata SSD ! This build is only $497.53. Even an M1 Mac mini can't match this at this price point. You'd get terribly short changed on ram and storage (that you can't upgrade later on). With this build you can easily add in your favorite brand of RX 6600 to increase graphics performance.

I'd choose the Meshlicious case and pay $10 more simply for the name!, and fit a RX 6650 XT.

I like that there's no glass panels. But a see through case ? Not my cup of tea.
That Graphics card should fit in the Corsair 4000D as well. Is it supported by Ventura ?
I think so!.


What's your opinion on the color?.

Basic black, a little silver, not too interesting. I generally don't like the big plastic shrouds on a GPU that are just targeting gamers. I'd probably choose Sapphire over Gigabyte in this category. Two fans are plenty for my needs.

And here comes Micro Center with their promotion, I think Newegg wins the banner promotion contest this year!. Not much to choose from but $199 for a 5800X!.

Cyber Monday has become 'Extended' and 'Week', not on Amazon though, boo!. If it's a budget gaming build you're looking at, I recommend AMD's 6 core processors in both 3000 and 5000 flavors!.

Boo to you Newegg, technically not a Cyber Monday deal but I thought this would be a nice upgrade for the G5. My favorite brand of M.2 NVMe is having a clear out too, KingSpec 1TB for $58!.

Has the KingSpec proven to be reliable in your system ? Do you boot from it ?
