My ship of Theseus PC is a hilarious combo right now: an i7-7700k paired with a 6900 XT. And it's going to stay that way until something dies. I refuse to participate in this market, no matter what special edition bullshit comes out.

    My i7-4790k still rips. Granted, it only rips on a few cores at a time, and it's missing some of the bandwidth and features and functions and stuff that newer processors get, but it also lets me disable TPM and shit and didn't support Windows 11 and forced me onto Linux, so I'll always be eternally grateful to it for that.

    Similar situation here. R5 5600X, RTX 3070, 32GB DDR4, and absolutely no incentive to upgrade. I wouldn't give a shit to upgrade even if we lived in a pre-AI, pre-COVID scalping market and everything was priced fairly like it was in the GTX 10-series days. But I certainly will not be paying $700 for a fucking M.2 drive or RAM kit. Fuck alllllll the way off.

    You sure everything's been changed out? Case, PSU, hard drive?
