Putting my build list together
Will be based on a ASRock B650E Taichi Lite, with initially 32GB DDR5 RAM
As well as GP office apps, this is being it built for Video editing … DaVinci (No gaming), my current Intel i5 can’t handle it.
Davinici tech notes advise AMD processor performance is more important than a massively powerful & expensive GPU.
So for first time I’m going AMD not Intel.

Some discussions here were advising waiting for AMD Ryzen 9 9900 on Zen 5 platform.
Though this has less cores/threads/cache than the 7950x Zen 4

Is the 7950x a good value for money processor, or should I wait for 9900. The main gain would seem to be 50W less power consumption.

Waiting for the 9900 itself isn’t an issue, I’ll get on with rest of the build.


Processors
 
Fair comment .... Case decided, Motherboard decided .... if I figure out RAM & PSU today can order them and get on the big items build, while waiting for CPU decision.
Thanks guys
 
I'm thinking of ordering RAM at same time as Motherboard
Seems that Corsair Dominator Platinum 32GB 6200 MT/s DDR5 Dual Channel Kit - Black ~£160 comes out top in the reviews, any reason not to go with this ?
My other considerations were Corsair VENGEANCE® 32GB 6400MT/s CL38 Memory Kit — Black ~£124 and G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO 32GB DDR5 6000MT/s ~£130

I have a 7950x and have used DaVinci for some very basic stuff, It worked fine, although it did use the CPU and GPU(6900XT) for rendering. I also run the CPU at ECO 65W so it uses ~90W instead of ~250W. I would wait and get a 9950X or get 7950X now.

Thnx for feedback ... Davinici on 4k 100fps video just kills my PC, so time to build a new one.
 
Was Going to go to 64GB just thought I'd start with the 32GB and use the 2nd 2 slots later.
Thanks for comment on the Vengeance, by going for that rather than Dominator I could get 64GB now. You listed the latency of CL36, assume going to CL 30 might be worth while


As 2 x 32GB Vengeance 6000mt/s is cheaper than 4 x 16GB is there any reason not to get as 32GB pairs ?
