I lucked out deciding to get another 16 gigs of ddr4 ram to make it 32 gigs few years ago. And upgraded my am4 board to the x3d chip. AM4 been the best mobo experience I had because of the continued release of CPU generations for it compared to previous mobos.
I was on an Intel 7700k. With Windows 10 coming to an end this year my choices were:
A) switch to gaming on Linux B) build a new pc
Given its age I picked b), getting it in January this year. 9800x3d, 32GB ram. It's been 11 months and no regrets.
(I could have gone c) and built a new computer AND switched to Linux, but I often play non steam games and didn't want to deal with WINE myself)
Lutris is wonderful, they have many scripts to assist in game installs, for when you decide you are ready to take the plunge
