I just finished a brand new $500 (minus videocard) Amd Ryzen 7 5700X3D/Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite Ax V2/Thermalright PS120SE/G.Skill Ripjaws V 32GB DDR4/Crucial P3 Plus 1TB M.2 SSD/GeForce Gigabyte 3060Ti/Thermaltake Smart BM3 650W/NZXT Phantom-001 White build. Coming off a gaming Intel i7-4790k/Asus Z97-AR/Noctua NH-D15/G.Skill Ripjaws X 32gb DDR3/Kingston NV2 1TB M.2/GeForce Gigabyte RTX-3060Ti set-up, i'm hoping this will be a step-up in performance. It is my first adventure away from Intel cpu's, and I am a little concerned at the seemingly miniscule bit of overclocking allowed with this AMD cpu. We shall see...
