@DKDetective I might jump on this. It's just under the MSRP.

Would finally build a new PC after almost 9 years with my current rig.

Awesome, sounds like it is about time!

Definitely! It's just a great feeling looking up parts again. Already ordered the absolute beast of gaming CPUs with the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. I should order the remaining stuff in the following days and hopefully build the rig this weekend.

My final build... Just under $3500 CAD. I'm going with only 1TB SSD for now and will buy a 2TB SSD just for games later this year during Black Friday or Boxing Day. I would have preferred a Samsung SSD instead of WD, but Samsung Canada's support is apparently ****ing terrible when it comes to their storage products like SSDs/HDDs...

I also wish I could get a Noctua CPU cooler and case fans, but oh boy, are they ****ing overpriced... I've had nothing but Noctua fans/coolers in the past. Thermalright seems to be great value/performance (and they do seem to be Noctua knoc-offs ). I will try that 5-fan pack and if they're too noisy, I'll get some Be Quiet! ones or just settle for the good old Noctua fans.

I will re-use the HDDs of my current PC for this one.
