Ok so I start off with just 32 gigs DDR4.  Its still less than what I 
had to pay for the 4 x 2gig DDR2-800.   SO the RAM is better, faster, 
and cheaper, but not cheap as air.  Still costs a little bit.  BUT, if I 
get 2 16g DIMMS I can add 2 16g DIMMS later.  :)

$274 for one RYZEN 7 3700X CPU with Wraith Chroma cooler.  Oh just whip 
me BEAT me take away my credit card...that is less than I had to pay for 
this Intel Q9550 quad core *NO* hyperthreads CPU in 2008 that is running 
just 2 feet to my right.  Heh!  HEH HEH!  That sounds pretty good actually!

This ol motherboard was around $165.00 in 2008.  I've been searching out 
what Gigabyte makes and they recommend then actually locating something 
that A)has a price on it and B)I can actually BUY one!  That last one is 
the dinger folks.  Gigabyte and the other two dozen fair to big 
manufacturers make a LOT of great modern and beautiful motherboards now. 
  I am beginning to see what I should have done is start at the local 
and postal level and see what people are actually stocking and can get 
out to me.  Then, take this *VERY* short list back to Gigabyte, Asus or 
whomever and carefully scroll down their much longer list(s)and see what 
I want out of that.
Yaknow, every time I have done this, from 1985 to present, has been a 
learning experience for me. That ain't bad!  I have enjoyed it 
tremendously through the ages.  Got to say though, it's a tad on the 
expensive side!
all that said, the 3 items I am about to push the "PAY FOR IT!" button 
on tallies up to $738.76.  That isn't even a 'bare bones' PC.  This is 
just "The Main Three".   Motherboard, CPU and RAM.  I have this old case 
it will fit fine in, maybe another one in the storage room.  And the 
750W power supply.  Five SATA SSD's and one SATA BluRay drive.  Accounts 
for all 6 SATA ports on the new mobo.  I am a little confused by the USB 
ports on it though.  It appears to have 4 different types of USB ports! 
Guess they are separated by purpose now.  I'll figure it out.
I am sure I will want to put it all in a new case eventually.  Then, 
maybe build old George back up for a spare.  Put him in the living room.

But, I really can't wait to see what kind of difference the RYZEN 7 is 
over the Q9550 quadcore.  :o)
