Speaking of UH, I wonder if he ever pulled the trigger on that build, or if he’s still waiting like eight months later for a PCIe Gen 5 NVME for reasons I still can’t really understand

Not really.

Nvidia gaming division down 38% is what I care about. Tells us people aren't buying and that's a good thing.

I'm grabbing the MSI Spatium 570 and my cart should then be complete. It's launching next week at computex.

This one

And AMD gaming is down 5% this quarter. Obviously no where near as big of a drop as Nvidia, but it means the people who aren’t buying Nvidia also aren’t switching over and buying AMD. They simply aren’t buying.

Remind me what your usage case is again?

Gaming, photo and video editing, website design.

I run my own cannabis business so flower shots for social media and sales as well as through my website for clones and seeds.

Ok, that makes more sense, as that’s basically the only usage case in which Gen 5 NVME matter at all. I genuinely kept scratching my head as to why you kept putting off your build to hold out for a component that would have functionally zero benefit in gaming, or essentially anything else, over a currently available, and significantly cheaper, high quality Gen 4 drive

I didn't put it off just for that, but it was part of it for sure.

As of now I'm just getting a 7700X too non 3D.

I remember you were originally eyeing a 5900x3d (which has kinda turned into a shitty release), but why the move completely off of the x3d line?

I'll have to check more benchmarks but it doesn't seem worth it as my gaming time has dwindled significantly.

I'd rather just get on am5 and upgrade to 3D down the road maybe 8 series.

If you're not gaming much, then yeah, the non 3d parts make more sense, as they can run higher voltage and higher clocks.

Yep that's what I was thinking. Just get on am5 for now.

With the recent struggles the x3d line has had, I'm feeling good about holding off from being an early adopter of this chipset, as my 5800x has been doing just fine for what I'm asking it to do. But I'm definitely looking forward to jumping into a 700 series board and an 8800x3d chip in the next twelve months or so.

Not your first build, but if you have any questions, feel free

What are you going with?

I did a little research last night on the 13700K.

My 5800X3D and 3090Ti do everything I need at the moment and then some. Temps never get over 60-65 and I play at full send 1440p 239fps. No need to upgrade until Nvidia and AMD get their shite together

This was basically me. Same CPU and roughly the same amount of time.

Anything current will be a huge upgrade. 4770k to 7700X was a huge upgrade.

The only usable 20 PCIE lanes did it in for me.

Not to mention the dead platform.
