You listed them by most to least expensive, not by performance. 7900XTX is ~3% faster than the 4080, and the 7900XT is 5%~10% faster than the 4070Ti. 6800XT is about the same performance as the 4070 with the 3070Ti being around 15% slower, roughly matching the 6800 non-XT.

It's likely B650/X670 will have only one more generation, just like B760/Z790(this one is going to be only a refresh though), based on what AMD have said about AM5 support and their release cadence.

The benefit from the extra cache is extremely game dependent, in some games the difference can go over 10% even at 4K, also using 4K as benchmark isn't ideal to see CPU performance in games, even if it's realistic in this case. The 7800x3D also uses about 50W less on average while gaming.
Single core the 7800x3D while slower, is pretty close to the 13700 in both performance and power usage to the point where it's mostly irrelevant, that's why I only mentioned multi-core workloads as a benefit of the 13700, where the 13700K can perform well over 50% better. The 13700F is also a lot cheaper than the 7800X3D, so even with the worse power consumption, it still likely makes sense to get. But depending on the games the 7800X3D can be the better option if price isn't an issue.

I would say $400~450, mostly for the GPU and PSU. You can get a mostly better new system for under $650 so anything near that isn't really worth it.

The only part here that isn't straight up better than the ones in that build is the GPU(at least out of the visible ones), as the 6600 has similar performance but less VRAM than the 1080Ti. The SSD and RAM capacity are doubled here, and the CPU is as fast as the 9900K, so considerably faster than the 9700.

The BX500 should be fine for the most part, but if the MX500 is only 10 euros more go for it instead.

I don't really see why get a 7800X3D if it isn't for 1080p with a 4090, so here's a significantly cheaper version of the build with the 13600KF, you could also do it with the 7700, but the Intel option is currently cheaper while being faster, the power consumption being higher shouldn't be an issue, as most of the time the difference will be at most 30~40W at games.

I personally would rather wait for next gen to get any GPU above the 3060Ti/6750XT, almost everything above those is either extremely overpriced, power hungry or both.
I added some extra storage, but how useful it is depends on personal preferences, so you could easily change the second SSD to another (maybe cheaper) 2tb one to save some money there.

Yeah, but quality also isn't as good on HW encoder/decoders, even the best H265 HW encoder still looks like shit compared to x265 when comparing high quality videos encoded to similar filesizes.
In general, for archival and higher quality playback software is better, for speed and low power consumption hardware is better.

Last week I got one asking to select the squirrels, but there was no squirrels on the options, the closest thing to a squirrel looked like a scuffed beaver. I kept selecting that and after a few tries it let me through.

Important to note that some games in some resolutions can be affected way more than the average, and that lacking VRAM can make the lack of bandwidth a lot more visible.
As example here's a few graphs on an older TechSpot/HUB test on the 5500XT. Many of the games tested show no difference(check the link for those), but some of them have pretty significant drops in framerate from using PCIe 4.0 x4 while VRAM limited like the ones in these graphs.
https://www.techspot.com/review/2396-pcie-bandwidth-test/
 
Other examples can be found on the 6600XT PCIe Scaling test on TPU, again most games aren't affected or barely, but some show big differences.

I was comparing against portable PCs, like Aya, GPD and similar, but if you want a switch comparison here it goes:
 
$300 Switch(Base) specs:
Custom Nvidia Tegra SOC
32GB of internal storage + microSD slot
4GB of LPDDR4X RAM
6.2" 1280x720 LCD screen
 
$350 Switch(OLED) specs:
Custom Nvidia Tegra SOC
64GB of internal storage + microSD slot
4GB of LPDDR4X RAM
7" 1280x720 OLED screen
 
$399 Steam Deck specs:
Custom AMD Zen2(4c8t)+RDNA2(8CUs) APU
64GB of internal storage+ microSD slot + upgradable SSD
16GB of LPDDR5 RAM
7" 1280x800 LCD screen
 
Seems a pretty fair price to me.
The base model exists for people that want the cheapest option possible or simply can't afford $500+ for a device like this. And again I have yet to see any mention of issues with running games from microSD, so I don't really see the point in complaining about the storage speed, at the moment it doesn't matter, and when it does matter you can upgrade the SSD if you want, that's an ok drawback for a cheaper device.

I wouldn't go with the 2700 at this point, if you want something cheaper I would look into the 12100 which performs similarly in multithread applications while being significantly better in gaming and singlethread. And make sure to check the prices for the 12400 and 13100, some locations might have good prices for them.
 

While there are exceptions like Fortnite, most apps that try to become exclusives to 3rd party stores just lose users.
It isn't really a problem on Android, so I'm not sure why you would assume it would become one on iOS.
I personally use a 3rd party store in my phone mostly to bypass region blocking, but other people around me seems to never use anything other than the Play Store in their phones. He uses Meta as an example, but Amazon and others tried it on Android and barely could make a dent into Play Store market share.

When you consider that the case is often dark, and the GPU backplate might be a bit over 2mm longer than the socket, it doesn't seem that weird that some people ended up with bad connections.

This connection probably would look fine when looked from above inside a case.
Also due to the locking system being bad, a small <1mm gap can become much larger when you are moving the cable around to close the case.
This just looks like a bad design in many different ways.

Considering that it's 70% more expensive than the 2 year old predecessor, and only 50% faster, It's pretty shit.
Any new GPU that is worse value than the old ones is shit for me.
The current market isn't what it was 1 year ago. GPUs are mostly below their original MSRP, and in AMD case well below it, with the 6900XT going for as low as $650 while being pretty close to the 3090 gaming performance wise. The 4080, together with the 4090 are some of the worst value GPUs you can get currently only being slightly better than some of the cash grabs Nvidia launched during the GPU shortage.
 
I didn't look that much, but I have yet to see any shop where you would have a hard time getting one. I've seen claims that physical shops are full of 4080 with no interest from consumers, including a few photos/videos from Microcenter that show loads of GPUs(4080 specifically) with no one picking them.

From Nvidia side all GPUs below the 3070 are around MSRP or lower, and the 3080 and above can be found at MSRP if you wait for the restocks, as old stock is pretty overpriced, probably because shops overpaid for them and aren't willing to take the losses. AMD is a pretty good option currently for gaming, so not sure why you act like they aren't. The 6900XT is around $650 and it performs better than the 3080 at anything that isn't AI/RT related, the 6800 has options below $500, and there's one 6800XT model for $535.

The 7950X is usually slightly better in heavy all-core while the 13900K is usually better in lighter workloads and gaming. The 13700K and 13600K are way better than what AMD has at similar prices.
