My current 8 year old laptop is due for a change. Went with something budget-friendly, yet future proof. Nothing too fancy, but I'm happy to finally be able to play some games again. I couldn't be bothered to build it myself, knowing me, in my excitement I'd break something.  Should arrive sometime next week.
Specs:
Case
LIAN LI O11DYNAMIC EVO RGB
Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 8 Core (4.2 GHz–5.0 GHz / 104 MB w/3D V-CACHE / AM5)
Motherboard
GIGABYTE X870E AORUS ELITE WIFI7 (AM5, DDR5, M.2 PCIe 5.0, Wi-Fi 7)
Memory (RAM)
64 GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR5 6000MHz CL30 (2 x 32 GB )
Graphics Card
16 GB GIGABYTE RADEON™ RX 9070 XT GAMING OC – 2 x HDMI, 2 x DP
Primary M.2 SSD Drive
4 TB CORSAIR MP600 PRO NH NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD (up to 7000 MB/s read, 6500 MB/s write)
Power Supply
CORSAIR 850 W RMx SERIES™ ATX 3.1, MODULAR, CYBENETICS GOLD
Processor Cooling
CORSAIR ICUE LINK TITAN 240 RX LCD RGB HIGH PERFORMANCE CPU COOLER
Thermal Paste
APPLICATION OF ARCTIC MX-4 EXTREME THERMAL COMPOUND
Monitor
Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 LS32BG850NPXEN 32" 4K Ultra HD 240Hz Curved VA Gaming monitor
Still looking into a new keyboard, and maybe a mouse too.

Jesus, this is budget-friendly? My budget must be pennies, then...
Yeah, that should be good enough for a good few years. Makes my computer rig wanna cry just looking at it. Then again, my rig is a used PC with a mid-level graphics card shoved in it, so *shrug*.

Ideally was looking for a setup around 2.5k. Then realized I needed a 4k monitor. Didn't want to spend like 1500 for a monitor, so found the Odyssey G8 a very nice option for only 600.
So all in all, for 3100 I'm pretty happy.
I could go fancier with more fans, cables, etc, but this will do for now.
