which means i haven't checked out (yet)
nerd news is that i finally weakened and bought a "used" rtx3060ti (used as in opened the box and run for 2 hours by a compulsive buyer at the ocau forums)
still rockin' the overclocked ryzen 3600 in my old lian li case; yes, scottie, the Lian Li PC-A17B one you helped source parts for in early 2012, and still looks brand spanking new... here i am, hitting 2ghz gpu peak in cyberpunk and pushing to get past 59c (which goes happily with the 3600 peaking at 4.5ghz on the slowest pair of cores and rarely over 65c)
but jeez, that video card needed to be shoe-horned into the case and even then one of the front slot air filter pieces is slightly out of kilter because the hard drive cage / front fan mount is slightly obstructing the clip holes so as not to rub on the video card - still, it's all in there now
mr 21 is stoked to get the hand-me-down 2060super to replace his 1660ti, (and a bonus new seasonic focus 550w), because between that and his 3700x i suspect the 5 year old corsair cx450m will be pushing the envelope 
not that you need reassurance, but i will never forget this site and the great people here, and regularly send my telepathy, but whenever i build something new(er) and fire up the benchmarks, it's like i am 20 years younger and fondly remember opening the front of my antec case and manually fanning to get enough air in to crank another few mhz out of my xp-m 2600+ and pretend i was hard core 
and feel compelled to actually post a hello online
