Hi guys,

After a lot of consideration and taking into account all the recommendations here on the forum and my own research
I’ve put together a few lists that only differ slightly. I’m going with AMD, but I’m still unsure which motherboard would be the best fit for my system.
Regarding the case and the power supply, I’m still not completely sure. I’m quite inexperienced in this area. Are all power supplies essentially the same,
or could it happen during assembly that some cables don’t fit certain components?

My budget is still around €2K, and I’m waiting for the Black Friday deals. Could you share your opinions and give me your final tips?

Have you considered the 9900X? I'd probably pick it over the choices you have, it has similar MT to the 7950X most the time and better ST, and is pretty efficient out of the box.





That being said it is better to continue your old thread vs starting a new one on basically the same topic it give people more insight on what you plan on using the pc for primarily.

You’re absolutely right. I wasn’t sure if there were still active discussions under the existing topic, so I thought I’d open a new one since I need opinions from experienced people quickly. For my budget, the 9900X is just too expensive right now. But if it becomes cheaper at some point, I could always sell my current chip and get it.
 
Please use your original thread
