RYZEN 5000 SERIES NOW ONLINE - 5950X, 5900X, 5800X & 5600X COMING NOV 5TH AT 5PM **NO COMPETITORS**

I don't really see a CPU running into quite as awful a cockup as the Ampere launch by virtue of being a CPU. Also being AMD puts a little more faith in me in regards to stock
 
Yeah, while demand is high for Zen 3, I don't think it will hit Ampere levels of crazy. Hopefully stock lasts 5 mins at least.
 
Guys does Ocuk still stick to 5pm lunch? It's 2pm almost everywhere else...

Haven't seen any news stating otherwise. Maybe they just want to be away from the phone when it's ringing off the hook because payments are stalling and peoples confirmation emails haven't gone through.
 
Hi guys im going to pull the trigger on this build, can someone check if this will be good? <3

5900x
6800xt (when it comes out)
b550 tomahawk mobo
AORUS NVME Gen3 SSD 1TB (can someone see if this is the best option I dont really know much about these)
LIAN-LI - PC-O11DX Dynamic Mid-Tower ATX PC Case (Idk about this one it was £115 but i dont mind spending more money if there are better options)

I currently have 2x8GB of 2133Mhz RAM, will i be able to add another 16 or 8gb stick?

Thanks so much!

Look at the Sabrent Rocket or ADATA SX8200 Pro for your M.2 drive.

If you're spending that sort of cash, get a Gen 4 m.2 NVME drive
Ditch that RAM and get 3600 speed RAM. Ryzen loves fast RAM- DDR4 3600 stuff

Yeah, 3600MHz ram is pretty much required. I do disagree about the Gen4 drives though - the cost is huge compared to Gen3, there is zero difference in normal day-to-day use, you'll only see the crazy transfer speeds in sequential copy and even then only up to the size of the SLC cache. I was really considering it for a while but ended up buying a 1TB WD Black for my system drive, it was on a deal at £106, the same money would maybe get me a crappy 500GB Gen4 drive. Simply not worth it at the current prices.
 
Wait, so there's still a thread up titled "RYZEN 5000 SERIES NOW ONLINE - 5950X, 5900X, 5800X & 5600X COMING NOVEMBER 5TH AT 5PM!!!" yet they're telling people on the phone it's 2PM.

Why am I not surprised?
if you read other peoples posts you would see that there is a lot of confusion as to when people can attempt to buy the cpu tomorrow, I was just stating that I was told today by a sales rep on the phone it is 2pm and not 5pm as others have said.
