As someone who recently got a Ryzen 3900X I have
to warn you about the
thermals on AMD CPUs, though you probably know this already. Plan for a
decent cooling!
As for the MoBo itself, I'm on ASUS. Go the most expensive ITX MoBo on
the market (not because I wanted but because no other ITX boards for AMD
were available due to pandemic). It died after a week. Replacement that I
received was used (covered in smears and fluid stains). The second
replacement works fine so far.
I got an AMD Ryzen 7 2700X a couple years ago, it runs very cool (fan
hardly ever kicks above idle), but I also went with the biggest, quietest
CPU cooler and bought an over sized case to fit it. I also went with the
‘buy a somewhat more expensive’ motherboard (ASRock X470 Taichi) than I
need route. Never had any problems with it.
I missed what you’re trying to do with your new system, (and you probably
already know everything below), but here’s the usual suspects of where/how
to pick parts and get the cheapest prices:
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/socketType.html
https://www.harddrivebenchmark.net/high_end_drives.html
https://pcpartpicker.com/
Biggest system improvement seems to be getting the latest gen NVMe drive.
Send me a PM if you want my build list (It’ll be a couple years out of date
though). I should have my pcpartpicker list somewhere...
Best,
Michael
