Ok, so I had a few cocktails at brunch, and then loaded 18ft3 of mulch into and out of the car in the heat because Ilovemywifeilovemywifeilovemywife (it helps me if I just repeat it 
), so I'm a little out of my normal headspace, but with your case, I would put something like this together. It's a little YOLO, but I love the idea of going cpu 360 as front intake, gpu hybrid 240 exhaust on the top, and one unobstructed rear fan. You'll be a little negative pressure, but unless you're swimming in pets, it should be fine. But, feel free to wait for someone else to come along with an objectively more reasonable build

Awesome thanks for the list.
I'm reading that with B550 boards that I'll likely need to do a bios flashback for the 5800x3d. Is it as simple as downloading a driver onto a usb and transferring to MB before installing cpu? or is that only with used boards?
And as far as audio goes, is there much of a difference between the different price points for motherboards?

You'll need to use flashback if the bios on the board is an older version because it's been sitting on the shelf for a bit. Has nothing to do with it being used. But anytime a new cpu comes out, it's a serious point of concern when you buy a board. It's why flashback is a non-negotiable for me. People who act like it's not a big deal are people who have a drawer full of cpus from past builds, which isn't most people.
Anyway, each manufacturer has slightly different instructions. This is how to do it with an MSI board: LINK

Never use front panel audio connectors, no matter the board. They all suck, because they are never insulated well enough. As long as you are using the rear connectors, I can't fathom you would see a difference between them. But if you want true professional grade, you'll likely need a PCIe add on card, regardless.

So if I’m using the front inputs for plugging in my mic, would that explain the feedback I sometimes get? Has it really been that simple of a fix this whole time?..

Probably, yep. Front panel audio uses shite cables and then runs them a long distance right next to components putting out significant electrical fields. No one should use front panel audio. Ever. I actually pulled mine completely out of my case (and those frickers were glued in…) just to make cable management easier

I keep telling myself to impulse upgrade to a 5900x or 12900k until I remember I would only get like a 1% performance improvement

JayzTwoCents put a video out today pointing out that Nvidia has lowered the MSRP on a lot of the cards, especially the higher end ones. He was saying they're likely dropping to get rid of the surplus of 3000 series cards before the release of the 4000. Some solid deals out right now on 3700-3900 cards.

Im considering a new budget build.. My current rig is pretty ancient besides a newish nvme ssd and power supply.. its mostly just an office computer these days and I game on my ps5 but I do miss my PC gaming.
I hate the fat arse case I have now and want a smaller one.. not sure I want microATX or not.. thinking yes so I can sit it on top of desk
current build
budget build
Thoughts? Manjaro user, so not really getting AAA titles immediately.
I am thinking AMD for way better Linux support.. Wayland doesn't really work with nvidia.

Made a couple of tweaks - going with the 5600 instead of the 5700g, better low-latency memory, great NVME SSD, slightly different case and PSU - didn't see you have an SSD or PSU, so you may already have those.

thanks! 
Yes in my current build I have a 2TB SSD already in the current build- and that's all I have anymore. The older SSD is my old Windows SSD but I don't even have it plugged in, it's just in my case in case something happens to my 2TB SSD. And I have a 750W PSU that's maybe a year old, so not concerned about that.

Damn, that's nice price. AMD plays better with Linux though, at least for now. Nvidia has had closed-source drivers until recently announcing they'll open source them.

AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 6-core Raphael CPU is up to 22% faster than Core i9-12900K in leaked single-core test
Wowza.
And the 7600X boostclock of 4.9GHz is well behind the top chip at 5.5GHz.
