BluelineSwinger, Thanks. I already have the CPU, Mobo, RAM, case and PS. Major things still to get are Video, M.2 SSD and cooling. With all things, I've got a budget to more or less balance. OTOH, I look for good components that won't wear out in a few years. My current box went online in 2014...

Bluestang, thank you again and I'll take a look at the P44 Pro.

Bluestang, again, thank you. Blue Line Swinger, I don't want to ignore you :). Just asking the question. I already have the case, power supply, mobo and RAM, Still to get are the GPU (looking at Radeon 6800), storage and cooling. The M.2 would be for the OS. I will bring several SATA hard...

New Build so far, likely to run Kubuntu with Win 11 VM: case: Corsair 7000D power supply: Corsair HX1000i 1000W Platinum CPU: Intel Core i7-12700K Mobo: Gigabyte z790 Auros Elite AX Ram: 64GB (2 x 32) Corsair Vengeance DDR5 4800 (no RGB) So next I'm looking at storage, one or more M.2 SSD's...
