Ryzen 5 2600, GTX 980Ti (rip EVGA), 16GB DDR4.

I bought the 980 for my first VR setup back when the Vive first dropped. It's just starting to show its age, but it made it through the worst of the crypto and covid shortages so I'm happy.

i7-12700k, RTX 3090, 32 GB DDR4, 2TB SSD + ~80TB HDD

Picked the 3090 since I wanted to be able to run AI models locally while also playing a lot of games. It's been pretty useful for running language and vision models for my assignments.

5600X + 3060 Ti w/32GB of RAM, I mostly play AAA games at lower resolutions so the results are pretty good for a midrange build. I built it last year while the shortages were still going on, so I definitely had to pay more than $200 for the parts. :)

R5 5600, rx480 4g, 16gb ram. Previous cpu was a measly 1200 af and next paycheck I will get an rx 7600, or 6650xt. I'm open to a 4060 as well, depending on relative performance and power consumption. I'll wait for the reviews.

R5 5600X, Radeon 5600 XT, 16 GB of RAM

Plays games at 1080p resolution just fine and some 1440p as well. 6GB of video RAM isn't alot but I don't game as much as I used to. Just happy to have a desktop.

I will get a new GPU either in December or next year if the 7800 XT isn't as disappointing as every other release this generation (though the sheer power of the 4090 is cool, its out of my budget and AMD runs better on Linux).
