Bought a Ryzen 3 1300X Thinkcentre for a Linux environment and Lenovo send me a Ryzen 7 1700 with 16GB DDR4 2666 and a 512GB Samsung 960 Pro NVMe drive. They told me to keep it. Only paid $388! Total score Running Dual Ryzen 7 1700 PCs now.

Here's my windows setup, integrated in my main setup: Xbox One connected to HDMI 1 on the TV, Laptop connected to HDMI-In on the Xbox One, Hackintosh connected to HDMI 2 on the TV
I use my PC only for mixing using Virtual DJ, except for that, I never turn it on.

Nice! Just curious - what are you going to be using this for?
Here's my Windows Desktop, its a little long in the tooth, but still pulls its weight for work on the weekends and mainly listening to music.

What do you want to know?
I can finally play Crysis 3 in max settings! Scratch that off the bucket list
Two in one... The lower one is a Windows 10 setup which a use for video editing. The upper one is a Hackintosh which I use for anything else.

I finally built my own custom PC for gaming and (eventually) photo editing. It’s an all AMD build with a Ryzen 5 2600x, Sapphire RX 580, 16GB RAM, and Noctua Chromax fans. Planning on adding a better CPU cooler eventually, but for now it’s wicked fast compared to my (now sold) 2017 13” MacBook Pro.

I wish Noctua made their CPU air coolers in black as well. I debated on getting a DRP or the slim model, but they supposedly don’t cool as well as the Noctua lineup, so I’ve been torn.
Your assumption would be correct. Really depends on the chip you're running and at what frequency. Though I should let you know that Noctua long ago began making powder finished aluminum covers for their heatsinks. Comes in white finish, too. Which is great because a lot of cases now have either white or black interiors. Though I'd say NZXT has very good aesthetics.
Thank you so much for the suggestion! I did not realize this was a thing that Noctua made. After a quick search, I found the covers. I think that settles it, I’ll be getting Noctua cooler then and a black CPU cooler cover to match my setup!
No problem. The issue I've always had with Noctua is that they're very quiet about what they have. I've tried high end AIO coolers and even a custom hard tube setup, and the upper hand you get on a highly OC'd setup isn't that great if you live in a warmer area during the warm months. Run a Noctua, show it off. You got the biggest baddest heatsink on the market. You won the size war. It simply looks comical in 99% of cases.
