the cpu/mobo market feels really similar to around the time I got my i7 4790k & z87 board. New stuff right on the horizon, but just far enough off that it's inconvenient to keep waiting.

Been and picked up the PSU, cooler and some fans for the new build and the case is on its way, hopefully it'll arrive tomorrow. I probably won't be buying anything more than an M.2 SSD from now until summer, because ryzen 3 should have a more solid release date by then. I will however be looking to do some basic modding, maybe an acrylic plate to mount my sata ssds on, an LED strip and some plastidip/plastikote to give the case a more personal feel.

working on names for my new build, as well as finalising the main parts list currently.
Hopefully AMD will release ryzen 4000 series before I get round to ordering the cpu, but I'll be going with the R7 3700X otherwise.
I also might do some small modding on the case, just some plastikote or something similar, and maybe etch the window.
Name ideas so far are space themed, given Branwen is bird based and thus airbound, this new build should cruise beyond that and into the distance (especially as it's going to be in a portable case). I'll do another status update with a list of name ideas, to see if people find any of them good
