Built in 2019, with some upgrades here and there:
MOBO: Asus X570-E Gaming WiFi CPU: RYZEN 5800X3d GPU: Radeon 6700XT OS Drive: 2 TB WD NVME Power Supply: Corsair 1000W
Looking at your list I’d consider a couple of things:
do some research on the Motherboard. I have a vague recollection of ASRock having problems lately. Not sure what models or anything.
consider a fully modular power supply if you’re at all concerned about clutter inside your case. You might also look up the recommended PSU wattage for that GPU. I don’t know much about the Lisuan specifically, but a lot of them recommend at least 750W.
Thanks for the tips. I've read recommendations of the ASRock B650 instead of the board I opted for, which costs only slightly more. AFAIK the only downsides to the A620M are no support for PBO + Curve Optimizer and no RGB headers. Those don't matter to me at all, since I don't intend to overclock and have no need to make my PC look fancy, I look at the screen most of the time, and not what's under the table :).. That said, I admit that the 7600X probably may have been a tiny bit overkill pairing with the board, but w/e, I like to live on the edge.
I opted for that Corsair PSU because I found a good deal and the fact that cable management (unless in areas where necessary) was and isn't really a priority, so Fully or Semi modular it was. Other than that, no forethought was put into it.
EDIT:
Oh right forgot to mention that PcPartPicker's estimated wattage also guided my PSU purchase, the total estimate was at 530W, so I just multiplied it by 1.25. I'm currently second-guessing my PSU choice now..
I did a little digging and it looks like the problems were limited to ASRock motherboards paired with Ryzen 9000 series chips, and they claim they fixed it with a BIOS update. And yeah, if you’re not overly concerned with cable management then a semi-modular will do the job and cost less.
