What are your goals for this? You have a very very high end CPU, which is still good, but now its superseded by the 5900x/5950x, and you have it paired with a RTX 2060 Super, which is also last gen (although current GPU stock everywhere is a shitshow).

32 GB of memory and a ton of storage - this a workstation build? Video surveillance?

EDIT: If you're just gaming, I wouldn't get the 3950x/5950x.

I would probably go with a 5800x or 5900x, and put the other couple hundred into a higher end GPU.

If you're just gaming too, you don't need 32 GB of memory either.

Gaming and 4K photo editing via Photoshop and Illustrator. I figured I’d get ahead and just get 32GBs of RAM from the start. I think I’ll just wait for the current gen to unfrick itself. I like what I’ve seen from them.

I’ll be doing a ton of IT work as well. Development, running VMs, etc.

I meant to select a 2080 at least

Hmm... In your situation, you probably want the 5900x then. Should be able to handle what you wanna throw at it. Unless you specifically need the 16 cores then go for the 5950x.

As far as GPU, I would honestly just use an old one for now if you have one until this GPU availability situation sorts itself out.

Its an utter shitshow right now.

If yall need anything, I may have a ton of parts to sell soon

Trying to sell a prebuilt with no GPU. If I can't sell it whole, I'll part out here.

Asus TUF X570 mobo
Ryzen 7 3800X cpu
Lian Li case
Thermaltake 750W PSU

I'll get full list later

I didn't realize Corning finally came out with optical TB3 cables. Would kill to have an empty closet to throw my PC and server in to declutter my space

I’m probably game for everything but the cpu on that list. Few questions:

Does the mobo have WiFi built in?
Which Lian Li case?
Fully modular PSU?

That should be good. I’m probably in regardless, but a pic of the case would be nice. Planning on picking up either a 5600X or 5800X paired with a 6800XT whenever I can find one. How much do you think you’ll part with those 3 for if you can’t find a buyer for the whole thing?

do you want the RAM, SSD, HDD, etc as well? All depends on whats in the bundle. I'd def make a deal on everything w/o CPU

Here are some pics. I'm talking to a guy about buying it whole right now, I'll keep you posted

Definitely in on the RAM. 16GB right? For the SSD, is it M.2?

Yeah I might as well just buy it all then. I have an SSD and HDD from my build right now, but can just use the extra space.

think the mobo has 2 M.2 slots and the case should have room for another HDD.

all the storage belongs to Dixie now

I wanted to upgrade to M.2 in my build anyway so I might as well just buy the HDD since it’s the only thing outside the cpu I’m not picking. Extra storage never hurt anyone

I’ll also just pick it up from you if you live in LA.
