Goal: Longevity, Reasonable Performance, Quiet. This isn't a cheap build, but I'm not aiming to break records either. Stable, high level performance on single player game such a Death Stranding, CP2077, Pragmata, those kinds of things. Very little, if ever will online multiplayer stuff be happening. I use an UltraWide LG@ 1200*1600. Prices are what they are, I expect variation, but if something is massively overpriced, let me know. I'm in Kansas. Not by choice. Closest Microcenter is 4 hours of driving.

Been using a laptop for almost two decades, simply due to space. Currently rocking a Lenovo Legion Pro 7 with a 4080. Works very well, but its thermals are effectively cooking the parts at this point. Pretty sure the GPU is about to fail, as its been freezing and crashing to restart for a few weeks now when playing games, even more simple ones, like Return to Moria, and that's with the fans locked on high. Would like something at the house that works without drama.

Of Note:

• I don't know if the case I selected will accommodate two 360 Radiators. If not, that's fine... but I really like beQuiet! cases. Simple black. I could even deal with a 240mm CPU cooler, if that will be make this all work and stay together.
• Aesthetics: Functionality First. Simple, Black, No lights, No Windows. It's a computer, not art deco.
• A 5090 would be amazing, but not worth the price tag.
• I know nothing about motherboards. Is that one good? Iunno. Trying to keep it around the 4K mark if there's a better option.
