Part 1<\/b><\/i><\/a> (5\/29\/23<\/i>) was about ‘Planning<\/i>‘ a new Intel\u00ae Core\u2122 i9-13900K<\/b><\/a> Build whilst reusing an Apevia case, its 32 GB RAM, its 500 GB SAMSUNG 970 EVO M.2 PCIe NVMe (for OS<\/i>), a Adata XPG SX6000 Pro M.2 PCIe NVMe (for data<\/i>), and a Kingwin KF-251-BK<\/b><\/a> Dual-Bay Hot Swap Rack.<\/p>\n

No rush or actual date for finishing the Build was set; however<\/i>, an ASUS Prime Z790M-PLUS D4<\/b><\/a> LGA 1700 mATX MoBo had just been purchased for $183.92 w\/ Tax ‘n free shipping.<\/p>\n

Whilst writing Part 1 \u2013 I had noticed PCPartPicker<\/b><\/a> showing a large drop in price for a ASUS Dual NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti<\/b><\/a> OC Edition \u2013 a drop from over $425++ to $364.00 ($390.54 w\/ Tax<\/i>) and I also purchased it.<\/p>\n

Part 2<\/b><\/i><\/a> (6\/1\/23<\/i>) was removing the MoBo from the ‘Apevia<\/i>‘ computer and placing it (mostly intact<\/i>) into the ‘Rose<\/b><\/i><\/a>‘ computer \u2013 a huge Intel\u00ae Core\u2122 i9-10900K<\/a> Upgrade for that computer. I am now using ‘Rose<\/em>‘ as my main PC until ‘Apevia<\/i>‘ is re-Built.<\/p>\n
