Agree, i just built a desktop for the first time in ages, it is a leap and change from using laptops with numerous components pplugged into them. i made the leap to desktop. everything was comparably reasonable except the RAM or anything that has memory chip on it ( RAM, NVME etc) so i did some research just to make sure. All in all i happy with the result i went with AMD 9900x no graphics card in this option, i skipped the graphics card for now.

I would like to add that, looking for bundles helps a lot. If you have micro center near you, utilize it to you full advantage they are the only ones given promotional items with bundles at the moment from what seen. The main objective is to skip the price gouge of RAM chips, they cost more than the CPU at the moment. I got CPU and motherboard plus 32g RAM fro $600 and that was a save. the RAM was $445 alone.
