A Ryzen getting fed by a BFG... oh dear lord that's bizzare to see. Like a roman medic patching up an astronaut: Two creatures from different eras working together... strangely awesome.

using computers over not regular surfaces like bed or clothes is pretty harmful for the laptop... you might be blocking airflow and correct cooling....
The bug....I just couldn't get rid of it. "You've been riding on a laptop for far too long" – that's what it said. I tried to reason with it. I really tried...but we all know where this ends. I decided and pulled the trigger on a new home PC. For the most people here, it is less powerful than their phones/NAS, but this is what I can afford right now – a foundation for future upgrades. I wanted to make a proper assembly log, but with the kids around...no one is going to lend me that much time. I will try to make better pictures though.
Bill of Material:
Monitor: 29UM68-P – Freesync support -21:9
MB: Asus PRIME H270M-PLUS ( 20 Pcie lanes ) ...bought it unboxed from a popular shop.
CPU....the budget king from Intel...get it ? No?
Aahhh fine, I will spell it out for you : G4560 and NO, I didn't want Ryzen.
RAM : 1x8GB Crucial 2400 mhz CL17 ( cheapest I could find locally ). Not happy about that CL17 thing though...wish it was at least CL15...
SSD: Crucial m.2 SATA 275 GB MX300 ...nVME is out of my reach for now
PSU: Super Flower SF-550K12XP ( semi-modular )
Network: ASUS PC-AC55BT
GPU : second-hand Sapphire Ghz HEICH Di 7870 ( HD7850, R7 260x, HD7870 cost exactly the same here on the second hand market. They are also readily available. I didn't really care which one I got. Gaming is not a priority )
Case: Deepcool D-shield....really...DIIII Shield..I mean....ahhh..forget it - what can $30 buy you for a case ?
Peripherals: G602, Zalman ..
Misc : random stuff from my all purpose-tech drawer – M3 thumbscrews, 6-32 thumbscrews, zip tie ancors, cables, RAM heat spreaders, chipset coolers etc...
Found them in the cupboard, I need the tape though to install them on the RAM.

Assembled:
I haven't done first boot yet. I need antennas for the Asus card ( it has flexible one, I want the other ones) and Display port to Display port cable for the monitor.
