Also a keyring lifehack if you have pants with zippers that won't stay closed, use a keyring on the zipper pull and put the keyring on the button when you close the pants. No more zippers that open by themselves

Yep, I felt the exact same when I first built my current rig and so I had to get my gf to use the same case for her rig, lol. Will likely stick with fractal design for cases for the foreseeable future

Yeah, Fractal Design R6, so it should have enough space for the shift. Since the case has that damn PSU cover which makes it only really viable to manage psu cables via the side panel, I figured the shift version might be pretty good

What I plan on getting is the Corsair RM850x Shift. 6950 xt requires a 850w PSU and I fancied the sideways oriented PSU as that makes things lot easier I my chassis. Might change it up (based on stock and prices) before I ultimately commit to the purchase

PSU is also on the list of components I'm upgrading. I think my current PSU is close to a decade old now. It's just one of those components that don't get a lot of love when upgrading over the years compared to the big spends like cpu and gpu

Had not considered that option! Thanks for the tip!

I have been putting together an upgrade for my gaming rig and have been kinda stuck on deciding the CPU and motherboard.

The main upgrade is the GPU as I plan on getting the AMD RX 6950 XT, but when it comes to cpu and motherboard I have been stuck between:

Intel i5-13600k + MSI MAG Z690 Tomahawk DDR4 (allows me to reuse my existing RAM)

and

Ryzen 5 7600x + MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk (it does require me to buy new RAM, but that's not a huge deal since I can then reuse my existing RAM to upgrade my home server)

Price wise there isn't all that much difference, and the little difference it has will get evened out with other upgrades and adjustments based on the cpu/motherboard choice.

Any feedback on pros and cons of either option is greatly appreciated!

For added context this rig is mainly gaming and some light software development. Nothing heavy in terms of video, 3D, streaming, or AI

Bamboo viscose is a very soft and breathable textile. There are many types of viscose fabric and from what I have gathered the last few weeks the most eco-friendly and breathable seems to be bamboo viscose and lyocell viscose (usually made from eucalyptus).

There's a lot of uncertainty around the eco-friendliness of the production of bamboo viscose, but from I can gather it's a lot better than most cottons and a lot better than polyester (both for the environment and for our skin).

I could go on forever about the different fabrics, but to keep it short if you want soft and breathable underwear go for either bamboo viscose or lyocell viscose.
