    Budget (including currency): $2000
    Country: USA
    Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Honestly nothing that explicitly requires this much horsepower, I just game on a 4k 120hz oled screen and want something to drive that.
    Other details: So, like everybody else on planet Earth I'm planning on grabbing a 3080 when they come out, I have several friends who are going to try and camp vendor sites to snag me an FE card on launch day. I've already made up my mind to build a SFF system and grabbed a B550 board and 650w sfx power supply. Being that I'm constrained to a small case and a psu that's 100w less than recommended spec, I want to keep my cpu down to a <100w part so that I have at least a little overclocking headroom, which is why going AMD is a no-brainer. Here's a tentative part list I put together(MB and psu already purchased).
     
    Should I wait for Zen 3 given my constraints? Seems like the ipc and clock speed bumps would be felt more on the low end but I'm not sure.
     
    Update: Changed my psu order because I found an 800w for sale at a price that wasn't repulsive. Still planning on going AMD so I kept the board, also ordered a different case as the one I chose previously is out of stock worldwide. Any suggestions for the build? Might go with a nicer cpu now..

    I was thinking about doing something similar tbh. I don't necessarily need a system asap but right now my main computer is a mac and only has a rx570 so it would be nice to have something bootable when the 3080 arrives 🤠

    Depends if you need a system right now. If you can wait, ZEN 3 will be a better option. In my case I needed a system in July and could not wait for ZEN 3 so I got the entry level 3100 and will upgrade to ZEN 3 once they become available.
