Now four. 

This is to replace a 11 year old Athlon box used as a
standby and for testing distros etc. The components are:

Gigabyte Micro ATX B450M DS3H
AMD Ryzen 5 3400G 3.7GHz quad core
2 x 8 Gb Crucial DDR4 2666 mhz
Gigabyte GC-WB867D-1 PCIE Wifi card*
Radeon RX Vega 11 chip on board

The mobo, memory and Ryzen were bought as a bundle from Scan.UK. 

The Wifi card chosen as it is Intel chipped.*
Dual booted using 2x1Tb  Western Digital “Blue” SATA HDD.
Both of the above were pulled from the old PC as they were recent
replacements.
The case, cd/dvd writer and 500w psu reused

Have nearly always used Gigabyte boards and had no probs with the NICS

All the boxes I have built for use within close family since 1991 are
named after "Magic Roundabout" characters. This one is "Ermintrude III"
