Budget (including currency): Yes (If I don't have the money right now on hand, then I'll just wait a few paychecks to get it. Do I claim to be doing something financially responsible? No, but I never did at the start so.) 


Country: USA (I want to get my room re-wired because split phase power is dumb, I want my full 240 volts.) 


Games, programs, or workloads that it will be used for: Blender, Handbrake, Clip Studio Paint, OBS, Movie Maker, SFM,  Minecraft, Team Fortress 2, and Gaming in general. 



Existing Parts: Ryzen 9 7950X3D, X670E Aorus Master, 96 gigs of Vengeance DDR5 ram (48gb x2 5600 MHz), TX-1600 Seasonic, 1x 2TB and 2x 1TB Crucial PCIe Gen 5 SSDs, Fractal Torrent case. (I've already bought all of these)

Parts from old rig: NH-D15, G502 HERO, LTT Stealth Deskpad. 

Parts I still need: A new full-size mechanical keyboard, new displays wanting 1440p/4K (thinking I'll just end up going with LG 27GR95QE-B from a different post I made asking about help choosing displays but haven't bought them yet), a UPS, a GPU support bracket and a GPU.

I'm on the fence between a 3090 Ti and a 4090. I haven't bought a 4090 just because I'm frankly upset with how Nivida has been handling this current generation and was going to wait for a 5090, aka Blackwell, but rumors have it being pushed back until 2025, so I don't want to wait nearly two years for it. So my train of thought is just to get a 3090 Ti which would be a massive upgrade over my current 1050 Ti, and I think that could hold me over until Blackwell comes out, and hopefully, they've fixed their issues by that point. 


As for the keyboard, I've never done full mechanical before, so I don't know anything about switches and stuff. Is there a way that I would be able to test out the different switches to see which ones I like? I know the cherry red MX switches are kind of the "default" ones and most likely will just be the ones I end up going with. I need it to be full-size because I need my numb pad for Blender. 

I don't believe I'm missing anything; the only other thing I'd like to say is, Yes. I know it's a stupid amount of money. But no, I don't really care about it. Money is money; I can always get more money, so please don't try to tell me that I'm doing something stupid. If I wanted to do something smart, I'd do something smart. I want to do something fun.

Going to a keyboard convention, computer store, or other people with mechanical keyboard. Another one would be switch tester, but switches are only like 25% of the equation.

I was thinking something like that. Wasn't sure if they would send samples like that or not, or if they would have a display for them at a store like Microcenter.

I use the mx blues at home and the browns for work. If you have headphones just watch a youtube video on the differences. Never used reds myself. I had a razer but they no longer use cherry switches nowadays, but I see logitech and corsair still use them.

Have a certain video/youtuber in mind for a review? I'm sure simply just look up "Different keyboard switches" would give me what I am looking for, but you might have better insight then I do.

Anything over 1M should be just fine. Here's a 3.4M views one that seems to know what he's talking about
