ive been spec'ing this out for a few weeks and i think(?) im settled with it, all the confirmation i'm looking for is ive been worried about needing some extra cables or something for all the rgb or fans? i know enough about pc building but im still a noob when it comes to rgb and all the different connectors and headers so im just wondering if all the rgb and fans will connect without any issues. thanks! (arctic fans are for the psu shroud fans in the lancool 2 because i dont really care about those being rgb) PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price CPU AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor $409.99 @ MemoryC CPU Cooler Lian Li GALAHAD AIO 240 RGB 69.17 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler $109.49 @ Amazon Motherboard Asus ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard $178.00 @ Amazon Memory G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 CL15 Memory Purchased For $109.00 Storage Samsung 970 Evo Plus 250 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive Purchased For $60.00 Storage Crucial MX500 2 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive $193.00 @ Amazon Storage Seagate FireCuda 2 TB 2.5" 5400RPM Hybrid Internal Hard Drive Purchased For $65.00 Video Card MSI GeForce RTX 2060 6 GB VENTUS OC Video Card Purchased For $350.00 Case Lian Li Lancool II Mesh ATX Mid Tower Case $114.99 @ Newegg Power Supply EVGA G3 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply Purchased For $119.00 Case Fan ARCTIC P12 56.3 CFM 120 mm Fan $11.88 @ Amazon Case Fan ARCTIC P12 56.3 CFM 120 mm Fan $11.88 @ Amazon Custom Cooler Master MasterFan PWM Hub - Supports up to 10 Fans (3-pin or 4-pin), Occupying only One 4-pin Motherboard Header (System Fan or CPU Fan) $18.10 Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total $1750.33 Generated by PCPartPicker 2021-04-16 06:16 EDT-0400

i have looked at the 2700x but not really interested as the 2700x doesn't seem worth the upgrade to me from 1st gen unlike going from 1st gen to 3rd gen, i suppose if i get the 3600 i could strictly use the gpu encoder as i think my 2060 will handle it well enough.

i do stream on twitch often but i change between using my cpu and gpu as the encoder all the time. streaming is the only real reason i'm worried about losing cores and threads.

i've been thinking about upgrading my cpu for a while now and after watching the new cpu buyers guide video linus put out i am now 100% wanting to upgrade and the 3600 seems like the best upgrade path for me, i play on a 1080p 144hz display with an RTX 2060 so i don't think i need anymore than that but i'm just worried about the core and thread loss from going from ryzen 7 to ryzen 5, just want some other opinions
