MFS was the catalyst to me wanting to upgrade. As I'm sure you can imagine my poor 3930K didnt fair so well hahahah! Also 165hz isnt a essential for sure, most games where its a benefit i can already achieve it with my current build. But i do notice the age of my CPU on 2020 titles, it's starting to struggle for sure. even just keeping 60 FPS at times we pushed the max setting at 1440P.

It's going to be used as a work station as much as it is for gaming hence the 64GB of ram. Do a bit of rendering on Modo but spend most of my time in Photoshop and Capture-one and Im running a 1440P 165hz ASUS TUF + 1440p Eizo ColorEdge CS2731 as i use my current machine for both. Was looking at the 3900x for headroom due the some of the big files i work on

Looking that way as of now! Oh for real what would hold it back? and what would you look for in a mobo pairing it with the 3900x? Thanks again!
