Pretty much my system at the time. G400 + 2x Voodoo2 and AWE32. Adaptec 2940 for SCSI (needed SCSI for HP DAT drive because warez). Pretty sure I had the Pentium Pro 180. Monitor was some 19 inch NEC CRT which rocked. Hardware was exciting back then.
So, OK, if only based on the stuff I owned at the time I can only say 3: Voodoo 1 4 MB card, AWE64 Gold, and S3 Trio V64. I do have both a network card and a SCSI card now but not back then. And yes, build videos are awesome! Build it! Pretty please. :)
I had build P3 667Mhz (133FSB) + 256Mb RDRAM + G400 around year ago :) My favorite machine! I have doubts on SCSI HDD because Adaptec 2940 is slower than build-in ATA-66 controller. However more advanced SCSI cards will be limited by slow PCI slots.
I had a top 5 pick 1) Evans and Sutherland AccelGalaxy 2) P III 500 dual slot. 3)Viewsonic 20" trinitron CRT ( forget the model number) 4 Renderdrive 5 PVR/Digital Fusion
I got a 18GB SCSI pin 50 drive in my pentium classic 133 / 150 Mhz build 7200RPM.. That thing is way ahead of its time when IDE was only in PIO 2,3,4 mode.. Still with DMA33 think this scsi drive runs smoother due quicker access times. 7200RPM drive really came later to IDE DMA33 / 66..
Using a Turtle Beach Montego II Aureal Vortex II in combination with a Yamaha Audician 32 Plus and a DreamBlaster S1 myself for the audio of my Celeron 400(A) build. Still, the AWE64 is a sweet sounding card. Also, the 3Com 3C905-TX (Revision B) PCI card from 1996 for networking.
Voodoo2 is still my favorite piece of early pc gaming. I remember the day i got mine and i still have my original
A 440BX Motherboard, Pentium III 600 and a VooDoo 3 3000 agp. That was the sweet spot for me. Thanks for the Video

I also used a Real Magic Mpeg Decoder card to watch DVDs back then
I agree the Voodoo card is a must have in the collection. 🤓
@MachtNixPasstSo No Voodoo is best gfx card from 90.

Seeing Quake 1 in GL for the first time was an experience hard to top
