    This chip has powered my system through a lot, especially paired with the 6800xt. AMD has knocked it out the park.

    Ryzen 5000 series are just above and beyond. 5950x is $50 more expensive than 3950x but the performance they came up with is absolutely amazing

    I'll keep this short and concise. If you can manage to get one, this thing is amazing especially with AMD's curve optimizer. With it, I am able to get consistent single core boosts above 5ghz (5.3ghz at one point)! Multi core performance is also great. Do note that there's a rumored Zen3+ so you can also wait for that.
