I've decided to buy it no matter what. I think there will be nothing better on AM4 for gaming. The question now. Buy it right now or wait until the the price drops even more. If it does. I know my used 3900x sale price will drop as time goes on, but I don't know that a new 5800x3d will drop anymore in price before they discontinue it. Currently when I factor in all the costs plus selling my old CPU  It will cost me with tax $220.

I'm not saying it won't work. I'm just saying you are likely to run into stability issues and it will also run in single channel and that will effect your speed effecting your FPS. Games like Warzone give you a competitive edge the higher FPS you go. That of course is all dependent on the refresh rate of your monitor.

Diffrent size Ram sticks will not run in dual channel. Ram sticks will always default to the slower speed. It is best practice to use two of the exact same Ram sticks for better stability. Also you should Benchmark your GPU OC with software to determine truly if it is indeed stable. Still some games can handle an aggressive OC better then others. That's one of the reasons MSI Afterburner has diffrent profiles to save on.

Not all GPU overclocks work with all games. For example I can't run an OC when playing Control at all. That might not be the issue though. What kind of PSU do you have? Wattage and Rating? Also take that random 4gb stick of ram out. Even if it is working properly you will be in single channel not dual channel. You need use the exact same Ram stick as your other one.

Are you planning on sticking with 1080p and keeping your monitor?

Tried last night at 1.4v couldn't go any higher then 4425. Dropped it back down to 1.3v and kept it at 4425 and it's stable at that frequency. Probably gonna have to test each core individually. I'm just gonna wait for 1usmus's software to be released soon that promises to do all that work for me automatically.

I noticed such a big difference going from 1080p to 1440p at 144hz. The hit to my FPS was minimal with my 2070 super
