The 5800X3D will give a higher framerate in gaming, and still have more than enough cores for whatever your doing in blender.

 

That meme motherboard will be of no benefit whatsoever, just get a normal one.

 

I’d also opt for a 240mm or 280mm cooler so you can mount it on the top of your case, keeping the frontal intake air cold until it hits your GPU.

 

Ditch the 16tb hdd, completely pointless in 2022.  Also, that SSD will game no differently than a samsung 980 and even for work stuff the difference wont be noticeable outside of pro level work.  You can get a 2tb 980 for less than that 1tb pro ssd.

 

Don’t pay for a windows liscense, just get one on ebay for $5.

 

If your hell bent on wasting money on memes, at least do yourself a favor and get a decent, supportive chair if you haven’t already.

I edit the shit out of my posts.  Refresh before you respond.

Its not even good, just a meme of a board if you ask me, get a decent b550 like b550a pro instead cause basucally nothing useful (for most ppl) actually uses the extra chipset gen4 lanes like multi gen4 ssd or multi gpu

Not even decent spec and its overpriced, just get a 32gb 2x16 kit at this budget for futureproofing reasons, if you dont care about fast ram rgb pro can be had for similar to ballistix prices, if you want ludicrously fast ram (4000+ cl16 or 4500+ cl18) then go for ballistix but you need to tune them yourself, just pick between flashy semi decent ocing rgb pros or ludicrous speed ballistix

Thats just excessive for gaming

No use for gen4, just get a decent 2tb gen3 like cs2130/3030, silicon power a80, kingston kc2500, etc.

Not bad considering its aud but still overpriced, if you dont care about lighting zones then nust get cheaper rgb fans. Though better off with just buying a decent mesh case with rgb fans preinstalled

W10 pro is ~20$ from cheapkeys sites like scdkeys/kinguin, ebay does sell for cheaper though apparently some are random keys so depends if you wanna take the risk (though theyre dirt cheap)

Not even a risk, I did my dad's like 4 years ago and it's still good.  I've yet to hear from some one of it getting revoked.

So they dont sell random keys and its guaranteed key now?

It follows a pattern.  Someone uses their org's volume keygen inappropriately and sells the offspring.  Someone would have to snitch HARD for microsoft to care, and existing offspring would likely be let be.  At least that's how the ebay ones are.
