The ram is a bit OC as you could get 32 gig for the same money (not in stock) but ryzen also loves tight timing on ram.

This will max your budget but is still a very capable gaming chip. (replaces the 5700x)

thank you for the reply. does the benefit of the 5800x justify the extra cost?

No, the 5700x is for all intents and purposes identical to the 5800x. The only reason the 5700x exists is to hide a price drop and not upset the owners of 5800x who paid a higher price.

There the same price at the moment.

Are you aksing about the standard 5800x or the X3D version I linked to?

The X3D version can be depending upon the game engine and the resolution used. #
