The "AMD Powerhouse" v3

AkikoKumagara · October 8, 2021

Description: I wanted a PC that can do everything I need, and fast. This PC has gone through several iterations, starting modestly with a B350 board and a Ryzen 7 1700X and ending up with an X570 board and a Ryzen 7 5800X. I use this PC for many things, including 3D art, game development and modding, music recording and production, compiling code, ripping blu-ray discs and DVD-based console games, playing games (duh!), streaming, and more. I got the Radeon VII GPU to upgrade from V1 of this build's RX 580 8GB. While the 580 was a decent card, I admired the Radeon VII since it came out and am so happy to have bought it discounted to $550. It seemed worth it to me, especially since this was when the RX 5XXX series was new and experiencing many issues. I'm a huge AMD fan, and was even when they weren't doing as great as they are now, so having an all-AMD build was basically never a question for me, especially since I need support for macOS as well.

If anyone has any questions or comments, they're welcomed.

Please excuse the dust on the PSU shroud. It's since been cleaned.
