Say it louder for the people in the back. I see many post where people blow their budget on the peripheral stuff. Instead of the 7700 I’d splurge and get the 7800x3d it’s by far the best cpu I’ve used and it still competes in performance with the newer cpus amd and Intel are coming out with. And with the money you save on not buying a windows key, drop your ram to 5600mhz and get at least 32 gig of ram. With a beefy cpu it’s nice to have lower latency but if you don’t have enough space, your cpu can’t put out the power anyways. As for future upgrades, definitely a nicer mobo and save your money until you can get 6400 or even 6800 mhz on your ram. (I’d stick with tomahwak or mortar for the mobo but that’s just my preference)
