How ever much the wife says. Lol. I'm not to worried about money at the moment. I want the main 3 items CPU, Mobo, and ram. So I could pay more now on those and wait a few months for more stuff.

These are some good things to think about. I did see that there will be some new mobos with the new ryzen gen 3 chips. Might wait to see what comes out then before buying. But I can use your suggestion as a benchmark. It might also go on sale after the new stuff comes out. I'm not expecting to rock this for 20years but I also don't want to have to do a full build again 2 years from now. So spending more on the board is a safe buy I think thank you.

So I have money to build one computer. That's fine. I don't have money to build 5 over the next several years. So with the new amd chips coming out. What should I look for in a build to future proof my rig. How do I make sure that I won't have to do major upgrades for 5+ years. For reference my current rig is old like Phenom 2 quad core old. Plan on still using it for side stuff. It's just not good enough anymore for present day.
