I've had the parts a while, but tbh I almost had to return them due to unexpected expenses.
Nonetheless, here it is, my first all-new build in at least 5 years:
CPU: Ryzen 3700x
RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum 16Gb
Motherboard: Asrock x570 Phantom Wifi/TB3
CASE: Deepcool Tristellar windowed*
PSU: Seagate X-850 (technically not new but whatever)
Cooler: Corsair H80i v2**
GPU: Sapphire 5700XT
HDDs: Corsair MP510 960gb w/ special order heatsink***, 2x Samsung Eva 850 500gb
*= This case has been discontinued for a while. Sitting in my home since the day I found out I wouldn't be returning to work due to various health and psychological problems. It's an extremely weird three-chamber design, which has already proven challenging.
**= The H80 just can't possibly work. I'm going to have to return it. The pipes are extremely thick and come out of the top of the cpu block. There's no way they will be able to bend safely within the tight confines of the ITX motherboard chamber. I'm currently looking for alternatives, so feel free to suggest some... Took the H80 for performance and it's thick rad, but I didn't realize that thick rad meant massive pipes.
***= The special M.2 heatsink I found on Newegg is still en route. It's been over a month getting here from China, but it's the only M.2/nvme heatsink I could find that has its own fan. Why the fan? The sole nvme slot on my motherboard is underneath the motherboard. Luckily, thanks to the odd shapes of chambers, there is a gap under the board in that space for the M.2 heatsink to fit, but I nonetheless wanted an active one since airflow in that chamber will be... Problematic.
Pictures will come when I can take them. For now, here's a photo of the board taken for a related thread, thanks for stopping by everyone.
