I already have pretty much everything I want/need. Everything further is pretty much just placebo effect.  

13700k
Z690 DDR4 board

around $4500 worth of audio gear(extra set of speakers, tactile transducers), room treatment, furniture. If I ran out of things to buy (I could) then I might push for a 75ish inch OLED TV. Or just go crazy with a 13/15 channel AVR. Not sure how much front wides would matter. 

MAYBE an access point, mostly so that I can gift my current AP to my mother. Ideally I'd like WiFi 7 but that's a bit further out in the time horizon. 

5900XT (16C/32T) | 64 GB DDR4 RAM | RTX 5070 

1.5TB Optane P4800X | 16TB nvme SSD NAS w/ 10Gbe & 96GB DDR5 RAM caching
LG C4 + QN90A | Sony AZ7000ES | Polk R200+R100, ELAC OW4.2, SVS PB12-NSD + 3x SB1000 | HD800

-> Moved to Off Topic

 

This rides the line of being fantasy build -thread (which aren't allowed as pointless). But since there's tie-in, we can let this be. Though I would recommend you write down actual product names for better discussion. In the show, they need to explain why they choose what they choose.
