Not building new. Rebuilding old. Upgraded my old Ryzen 7 2700+ to a Ryzen 5 5600 about 2 weeks ago. Decided to rebuild the old 2700+ on the MSI X470 board I originally had it on. I had to send that board in to have the BIOS fixed since I bricked it and it was still under warranty so the only cost was one way shipping. I have a very old HIS 1600 GPU, an old 128GB Kingston Fury SSD (sata), a Corsair semi modular CX750M, and all I need now is my DDR4 RAM. Plans are to get 32GB of GSKIL 3600 and do some RAM switching on 3 of my desktops. Then I will install 16GB of 3200 RAM currently in my daily desktop on this new testing platform.
In the process of getting everything together for that build, I discovered that I had an old AM3 board with an Athlon 4200+ CPU. I would need 2 sticks of RAM, I think they might be in that old FX 9590 machine that really doesn't need 48GB of RAM. Will have to check that out, and I have a 2.5" 1TB HDD out of an old laptop I can use and see if I can get that thing to boot up. I have 2 of the HIS 1600 GPU's so I should be good to go.
Anyway that is what I am going to be playing with for the next couple of weeks.
I also have to put a new set of tires on this ride;
