I would go AM5 for a new build, I'll see if I can fit in in the budget

I personally am not planning to upgrade until am6 

[Blasty Blosty]

That is probably like a decade away, why wait that long?

[Blasty Blosty]

No point in buying into a dead-end platform now

[Blasty Blosty]

This would be my proposal - https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/fBDHgB

AM5 is still relatively new, and AM4 was out for around a decade 7 years

am4 was about 6 years. Am5 release 2022 I would expect 2028 plus i don't plan to upgrade for at least 4-5 years. Sorry if you feel like i am arguing with you

Nono not at all, I was just curious

[Blasty Blosty]

My only other query was why you went with a Micro-ATX board in a full ATX case?

No reason  imo i don't really notice a difference and it doesn't look weird for me and i just like the look of full atx cases more

Fair, I would suggest going full atx though, such as the Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite

 

There are way more ports and plugs on the board, such as more fan headers and more usb ports, the list goes on

also do you think it is alright buying a used gpu? The seller seems to be selling alot of 3070s

If it is legit, then yes. Linus did a video on it and saw literally no performance difference, even on mining cards.

 

In this case, it could be a mining card, as they are selling multiple of the same one, maybe the 3070s were profitable, not sure.

[Blasty Blosty]

My hunch was correct - 

 

Selling this Msi Rtx 3070 Gaming Z Trio 8Gb. 

Too be transparent been used for mining for 6 months and has been tested and is in good condition

Price Is firm

But as I said before, mining cards are fine, watch the LTT video on it to see.
