Hi there,
I've spec'd/built a fair few PCs over the years but I'm currently doing one for a mate and I think I'm willing to risk his money on an AMD build (I've been Intel for past decade). Joking aside: from what I can see, they're tearing it up at the moment, so good to know there's no more monopoly! He wants one that will last for a good 5 or 6 years (like his last one, hence the top-end stuff).
Anyway, I was just wondering if there are any issues with this build, or suggestions for improvements/replacements. I got confused with the various AM4 chipsets, but guessing they're all compatible with AM4 CPUs.
Regarding the case, I've just picked one at random, I'm sure he'll have strong opinions on that, so will leave it for last.
Thanks for your help.
