Just wanted to pop in here and mention my build I’m putting together. I am a music producer and I need a way better CPU. With what I’m currently doing with all my huge VST processing chains and everything in Ableton, my current PC just can’t handle it. I’m currently on AM4 but I would like to upgrade to AM5 for future proofing. Here are the specs of my build. I know the 9800X3D is great so I’m not too worried about that but please let me know if the other parts are good.

Just wanted to know if you guys have any other parts you’d recommend instead of the ones chosen. I do like the CPU/RAM/MOBO/AIO bundle since it saves a lot of money but if you guys have any other suggestions that would be great.

I know the GPU will end up being a bottleneck for the CPU but I don’t have the money for a new one quite yet, so that will be something I will upgrade down the road for the new gen games like GTA, Forza 6 etc

CASE: Lian Li LANCOOL 216 RX

CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D

RAM: TF Vulcan DDR5 6000 32GB

MOBO: MSI MAG B850 TOMAHAWK

PSU: 1000W MSI MAG

AIO: MEG CORELIQUID S360

TOTAL: 2500

The CPU/RAM/MOBO/AIO all come in a bundle which makes this a lot cheaper. I believe I’m saving around 7 or 800$ just with the bundle

OLD PARTS IM PUTTING IN:

GPU: NVIDIA 3070

STORAGE: FOUR 1TB M.2’s (figured I’d reuse my old drives since storage is way too expensive nowadays and PCEI5 is impossible to find lol)
