Finally built a custom PC

I don't game, just use my computer for programming. You know you can get used to the way things are, hesitant to change. So I stuck with this old dell precision for over 5 years. Finally decided it's enough, and built a custom PC.

AMD Ryzen 5 7600 5.1GHz 6C/12T AM5
GIGABYTE B650M DS3H AM5 DDR5 mATX
KINGSTON 1000GB NV2 M.2 2280 PCIE 4.0 NVME SSD
Kingston FURY 32GB (2x16GB) 5200MHz DDR5 CL40 DIMM
Seasonic B12 BC-750 80 PLUS Bronze 750W ATX Power Supply

The difference is insane. IDE doesn't take 30s to load. Tabs open way faster. Fans don't go blazing. I keep noticing new things that are faster.

Don't be like me. Improve your work setup if you can.

Did your old system have a SSD or HDD? That alone can make a huge difference.

Anyway, enjoy your new system!

It had an SSD. I think the CPU was the bottleneck; it was an old mobile xeon. The difference is remarkable.
