So my desktop is pretty damn old (Intel Core i7-2600K based), I built it around the time that Brandon was born I think so that would make it 11 years and I decided over the weekend I wanted to build a new rig.  Today I went to Canada Computers to pick up a few parts, an Intel Core i9-12900K, an Asus Prime Z690-P D4 memory, a be quiet! heatsink, a 1TB Samsung 980 Pro PCIe SSD and a case.

I ordered 64GB of DDR4 memory (store only had 16GB modules and I wanted two 32GB ones) and will reuse the power supply, HDDs and my eVGA GeForce 2060 Super videocard.  I did want a new videocard too but finding one of the current generation cards is impossible and I don’t really play games anymore.  Most of the components are the best of the best so hopefully this new machine, once it’s built lasts a long time too. 🙂
