My new workhorse arrived! 1/8

Time for the first (personal) PC build in several years!

This is the case I've decided to go with: a be quiet! Pure Base 600 (black with side window)

The mainboard was actually a tough choice: I wanted one with an on-board Bluetooth chip to free up one USB port.

Also 2.5G LAN support, as well as USB 3.2 with plenty of ports (11).

I went with the MSI X570 Tomahawk as it's by far the cheapest of the few boards that check all the marks here.

3/8

I need this machine as my main desktop, 90% of my work gets done here. I don't need much storage, but I need fast storage:

A Samsung 970 EVO Plus M.2 NVME it is!

@fribbledom My usual go-to SSD storage is Crucial MX. Have a bunch of those and they're still going strong for me. :)
