February 19, '23 - Sunday - System recommendation updates - systems link
After, oddly, an exact year since my last systems page update, I have finally updated the systems and PC page to be almost totally current. I say almost because there are still maybe some AMD parts things are behind on, as well as possibly monitors since there is brand new tech releasing. I haven't updated cases in a while either, but mostly those are super personal. Hopefully I'll be able to stay happy enough to keep it much more current now that it's very close again. (Good to see those prices on full builds have dropped about 20%. They may never be in the price breakout brackets they started at ever again, but at least they aren't stupid crazy expensive.)
