>Post at least some attempt at a parts list
>List your uses, e.g. Gaming, Video Editing, VM Work
>For monitors, include purpose (e.g., photoediting, gaming) and graphics card pairing (if applicable)
CPUs based on current pricing:
>Athlon 200GE - HTPC, web browsing, bare minimum gaming (can be OC'd on most mobos with the right BIOS)
>i5 9400F/9600k - Great gaming CPUs
>i7 9700K - Extreme solution for absolute max FPS
>i9 9900K - VM Work / Streaming / Video editing
>i9 9980XE - HEDT
Zen2 CPUs already confirmed by AMD to be worse in gaming than the cheaper equivalent Intel. Only consider them if you care about multithreaded stuff.
RAM:
>Always choose at least a two stick kit; 2x 8GB is recommended
>CPUs benefit from high speed RAM; 3200CL16 is ideal
>AMD B and X chipsets and Intel Z chipsets support XMP
Graphics cards based on current pricing:
>Used cards can be had for a steal; inquire about warranty
1080p
>GTX 1660/ti - standard
>RTX 2060/Super - high framerates (requires complementary intel CPU and monitor)
1440p
>RTX 2060 Super - standard
>RTX 2070 Super - high framerates (requires complementary CPU and monitor)
2160p (4K)
>RTX 2080 Super - standard
>RTX 2080Ti
General:
>Always avoid AMD if gaming, actually always avoid it, it's fucking trash
>PLAN YOUR BUILD AROUND YOUR MONITOR IF GAMING
>Don't bother buying a new monitor for gaming unless it's high refresh with adaptive sync
>A 256GB or larger SSD is almost mandatory; consider m.2 form factor
>Bottleneck checkers are worthless

Been trying to undervolt a vega 56.
But both the frequency settings and the voltage settings are mere suggestions to the GPU, and it still uses whatever it wants.
Any idea how to fix this?
I am tired of the voltage and frequency bouncing around all over the place with a very loose correlation to what I set in wattman.

yikes

Worth upgrading my Ryzen 5 2600 to Ryzen 7 2700X for $200? B450 mobo.

Also, 4x8 or 2x16 3200Hz RAM? Already have 2x8.

absolutely not, go 3600 or go home.

in B450? Thinking about just upgrading the mobo and case too since they're mATX and I need the space now.

This.
it's not worth sidegrading to a 2700x

2x16gb if you can get it
if you have 2x8 of the same clocks/frequency just get more of those if you want to
