been building my own since 2000. I like the ASUS WS Z390 PRO MB w/LGA1151 support (9th gen Intel CPU). I use mostly Corsair case, memory and power supply.
I’m seeing that high end Nvidia graphics cards have doubled in cost over the last year, thanks to scalpers.
I’ve been building mine since around 1990 (Asus if my favorite for MB and accessories), but I absolutely hate Intel; I have built 2 during this time, and both gave me problems, and were a headache. I am very partial to AMD.
I agree about the cost of the video card shooting up, which is frustrating :/
(Very partial to NVidia.. hate Radeon/ATI.. hated when AMD bought ATI :p )
