I think it's still the same generation as the 3700x (the 3 designates the generation, like before these, they were called the 2700x and 2600x respectively), so the same issue may apply. But again, I have not done much research at all on the Ryzens. Last time I used an AMD was back in the Athlon 64 days in the early's '00s.

I’m just trying to determine what parts I should start buying and what parts should I wait on.

When I build I start piecing things together if I see a sale, but I only buy things that I can test that they are working with what I already have. I'll buy the case, PSU, GPU, SSD/HD, and fans. I'll buy the motherboard, CPU, and memory all at once because I have no way of testing those to make sure everything is working. |

I'm lucky, it doesn't take a powerful PC to run Solitaire

Looks like it’s going to be a while before I can get a B550 motherboard. They’re all on back order and sell out as soon as they come available.

Go with an X570. I recently built a system for a friend with the MSI X570-A board, Ryzen 7 3800X, Gigabyte 2070 Super video card - the system was insane in performance.

If that one cant be found at a decent price then the ASUS TUF Wifi or Gigabyte Aorus Elite Wifi would be fine. I've personally got the Elite non wifi version and I've not had a problem with it. EDIT: It seems everything is sold out right now. Wonder if there is a supply chain issue with the whole covid deal. Last edited by jd1020; 06-24-2020 at 10:02 AM.. |

Just a couple things 1) I'm not too sure about cooler master PSUs. There used to be a website called johnnyguru who dedicated his life to reviewing and tearing down PSUs and I cant recall a CM PSU he thought well of. He no longer reviews PSUs because he was hired by Corsair but there is still a somewhat active forum community there. 2) The m.2 ssd you selected is just a sata ssd in m.2 form so if you were looking for NVMe you'll want a different drive. However you probably wouldn't notice a difference. The hdd you selected is also optimized for 24/7 streaming. I'm not sure if that's going to be the best option for you. |

I know it adds to total cost but if there is any way you can get an SSD instead of a spinning drive like that Seagate you’ll always be glad you did. For example, a Crucial 2tb ssd. *Edit* JD addresses this in point #2 directly above Last edited by vailpass; 06-24-2020 at 10:23 PM.. |
