the system I made has a MB that could be used in future years as well. It also has more SSD space and a more powerful GPU.

That's nice. The motherboard I included will also last for years. 🙂

 

The motherboard I suggested is on the memory kit QVL. It is also a bit faster.

 

I don't support products with which the manufacturer plays reviewer games. The only time I would suggest an NV2 drive is when the budget simply doesn't support anything else.

I meant it can be upgraded

 

I knew what you meant. I'm just sick an tired of that red herring. I put the argument in the same class as "future proofing".

 

If one examines the history of recent AMD socket longevity, it turns out that in most cases new chipsets were introduced with new AM4 CPU.

 

I also wonder why anyone would willingly pair 2nd or 3rd gen DDR5 memory controller with a 1st gen motherboard.

I prefer the Lancool 216 VASTLY over the 4000d. At this price point you should be getting an ATX 3.0 PSU, so I changed that, and I'd go for 2tb of storage with how cheap it has gotten.
