4 GPUs, 5 PSUs and 6 Motherboards Later: Mistakes Were Made

I recently realized that in the past 10 months, I've changed motherboards six times, PSUs five times and GPUs four times. Which, y'know, seems a bit excessive!

So in this video I discuss all the different components I went through... and try to explain why I chopped and changed so much, too!

The exact hardware I went through was:

Motherboards:

ASUS TUF Gaming B550M-PLUS
ASRock B650M Pro RS AM5 mATX
GIGABYTE B550 AORUS Elite AX V2 AM4 ATX
MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI AMD AM4 ATX
ASRock X870 Pro RS AM5 ATX
Gigabyte Aorus Pro Ice X870I AM5 Mini-ITX

PSUs:

Corsair RM 750e Black ATX 3.0
Corsair RM 750x White ATX 2.4
Montech Titan PLA 1000w ATX 3.1
Corsair RM 1000e ATX 3.1
ROG Loki SFX-L 850W Platinum ATX 3.0

GPUs:

AMD SAPPHIRE PULSE Radeon RX 6700 XT
NVIDIA RTX 5080 FE
AMD SAPPHIRE PULSE Radeon RX 9070XT
NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti (Zotac Twin Edge)
