Boy uhhh... probably the time I had an 8600K with 1080 SLI. I've had up to a 1080 Ti/Radeon VII but the CPUs I had those paired with were slower in gaming. Current rig is the best multicore wise (i7 6950X), but I've had an 8700K twice before, and that's a far better CPU for gaming (which is what I actually do with my PC). I've never really done a well balanced build for what I actually do, usually just picking and choosing hardware that I liked.

Hmm...

My favorite PC would be my current one, but with a few tweaks to its specs.

Instead of a Strix B350-F Gaming motherboard, I'd swap it for a Strix X570-E, instead of 2 GTX 650 Ti BOOSTs, a Titan Z, and instead of a Seasonic GM-750 PSU, a Thor 1200W PSU.

Indeed. Oooh and title change to favorite vs best, hmmmmmmm. Still not something I can give a straight answer to lmao, I really liked my 5960X/RVII setup, but I'd rather my 6950X, and AMD absolutely fucked the drivers for the RVII 🤔. 2700X/1080 combo was probably the most reasonable setup I had, X5675/980 Ti build was an absolute OG but wouldn't run current stuff well at all (it was already long in the tooth when I built it in 2017).

Am I the weirdo for entering a laptop? 

 

Eitherway my retired 2500U based Envy X360 is easily my favorite machine ive ever had the pleasure of owning. It meant a lot to me when I first got it since suddenly I jumped from having the worst quad core in existence to a low power yet strong CPU. Especially since I got that laptop during day 1 launch of Ryzen mobile itself it was like having a unicorn in the laptop world. Powerful enough to blow past my friend's desktop i5's yet in a thin enough machine to be a casual web browser and a IGPU comparible to the GT 730(Keppler) I had in my PC at the time. As much as I ended up disliking Zen 1 on mobile 4 years later it still is my favorite 

 

However the 4600H machine that replaced it has infinitely better specs so i'm glad I upgraded 

Primary Laptop (Gearsy MK4): Ryzen 9 5900HX, Radeon RX 6800M, Radeon Vega 8 Mobile, 24 GB DDR4 2400 Mhz, 512 GB SSD+1TB SSD, 15.6 in 300 Hz IPS display

I liked the barton that would do 2500Mhz at around default volt ... Soacket A platform of course. 

But thats only one component. I guess I like the most my current build that is the most powerful...

I edit my posts more often than not
