What was that? You going to give everyone who entered the competition a bundle?
If it was down to me....
Actually, if it was down to me, I'd have given myself the winning entry, I'm about due an upgrade on my personal setup too!
Thanks for running this competition!

Congratulations @thewanted
And thank you @MSIUK Support for doing the competition, please may you do another one day. It was fun to enter
Also guys check on overclockers twitter if you're not already as they run competitions usually all sponsored and weekly ish. I've not won any yet but only just started to stalk, I mean follow them on twitter.

Well, all of my goodies arrived over the past week The processor was very kindly upgraded to a 3700X from a 3600 so if I wasn't already ecstatic, I certainly am now!
Here's the finished product. Please excuse the slightly smudgy appearance in the photos. I think my phone's camera is playing up
I only built it last night so I haven't had a chance to play with it much, but Call of Duty Warzone is now pretty much pegged at 165 FPS (my monitor's refresh rate) which is a huge jump from the ~100FPS I used to get with the 4770K!
The B550 Tomahawk has at least 5 billion more options than my Z87 board did
You definitely won't be feeling left short if you're a tinkerer!
Thank you so much again to MSI, AMD and @MSIUK Support for making this possible.

Niiiiceee amd/msi hooked you up there. I had a forced update on the wifes machine from a 2700x to the 3600 and the 3000 series mid range matches the 2700x so the 2000 series top chip in production and beats it in the games.. Thats pretty damn good in my eyes for a single gen... That 3700x is a cracking chip I am sure.
Well deserved dude and that 5700(xt) is looking dappa in there as well. Thanks for sharing with us all!!
Ah, but you'd be having a Threadripper build for all those complex spreadsheets and to show off all those PCI Express v4 lanes.
Congratulations again. Hopefully I'll be as lucky next time.
Thanks guys. I'm rather smitten with it!
Got the 3700X running at 1866MHz IF with PBO enabled and 3733MHz CL16 on the RAM. It's B-Die so maybe I'll get it to CL14 but I'm not going to spend hours fiddling with it at the moment and just enjoy some (high FPS
) Warzone.

So good to see the final build, looks great.
Although I'm gonna make a demand. PEEL THAT FILM OFF! We don't tolerate non-peeling purists at MSI
Congrats again, been great to chat with you to get the logistics of your deliveries sorted and you've been super understanding when things took a little longer. Clearly a truly deserving winner and I look forward to hearing how well your performance holds up too!

Haha! Don't worry, my 11 month old son will pull it off before long
I've only played the latest COD so far, but it's gone from ~90% CPU usage and ~100FPS to ~22% CPU usage and pretty much pegged at 165FPS so it's been a rather large boost in performance!

I think anyone would have been delighted with that win even if it took 2 months to arrive.
