    It’s one of the best processors for the money in the last 20 years for sure! I’m hoping my 9900k in my main machine does that well. I can’t believe that’s like 4? 5? years old now already but I haven’t had any need to upgrade it hahaha.

    What’s in your new rig?

      Ryzen 7700X, 32GB DDR5 6000, 4TB NVME, and a 4090. By far the most high-end rig I’ve ever built (and probably ever will).

      I would have never been able to build such a powerful machine, but long story short I bought as much Bitcoin as I could while working my $14/hr job during COVID and it paid off. Almost embarrassed to admit this, given how anti-crypto Lemmy is. But hey, allowed me to build the PC of my dreams. I feel guilty for bragging.

        I never got into crypto but I have zero issue with it, other than the energy cost. Got a bunch of BTC on an old IDE HDD somewhere I will never see… but that’s most people’s story hahaha

        But nice fucking job, that’s a MONSTER of a machine. I’d you’re working 14/hr during the VID, you fucking deserve it.

        • I should qualify never got into crypto; I was part of a mining pool in the early 00s and got some like 5USD BTC, now that was like eight computers ago
