I have finally come the realization that my AMD FX 8350 and 9 year old Asus motherboard is not cutting it anymore. I find my RX5700 is also being very much held back by CPU..
I'm looking to upgrade and seeing as components now seems to be coming back into stock it seems a good time..
I do mostly gaming (2K gaming screen, no streaming), with some multi media work, video encoding, and day to day work.
I've made up the below basket and would appreciate any advise/contributions you could offer.
Thank you
