I've updated my build. How's this look? link
What is your budget? That looks good, I would just add a M.2 NVME SSD and then later when you can upgrade the graphics card. His September video has good recommendations for those. Also looks like the 7800x3d is sold out most places but if there is a Best Buy near you they may have it in stock. Good luck!
I'll probably get an nvme drive down the road, i already have an ssd for my boot drive. My budget is about $800 so im reaching the upper bounds here.
In that case you may want to consider dropping down on cpu to get a better graphics card. His $850ish build will probably serve you better than going up on CPU and ram UNLESS you plan on putting funds aside for a GPU upgrade soonish.
That said, I would say an NVME drive will boost you quite a lot simply due to the read write speeds compared to a sata SSD. It will be noticeable.
Definitely will keep that in mind, right now I'm focused on bringing it to modern specs, then going from there.
I'm having trouble deciding between the msi mag b650 tomahawk wifi and the msi pro b650p wifi for my mobo. Anything advice?
Just saw this, sorry for late reply.
I’d go with the tomahawk as it’s a solid board and usually recommended from what I’ve seen. Both are fine motherboards, but the tomahawk seems to be a little more “premium” compared to the b650-p WiFi. Also for a x3D CPU the tomahawk will offer a little more “power” and take better advantage of it.
Aye that's what i ultimately decided on, thanks for the reassurance.
