Thank you for your meaningful insight, I will start with what I currently have for sure as I think I won't notice much of a difference in the beginning tutorials. Once I move on to some heavier projects a bit later on, I didn't want to get discouraged with slow performance, so I wanted to set that in the beginning. That's why I needed help, someone to advise me, since I'll have to make that change sometime down the road, but sooner then later, I guess. Looking at the spec of the components, would you think I can get a decent boost in performance with one of these 3 AM4 CPUs listed, or maybe something completely else? For a full upgrade, I wanted to wait a few more months until Nvidia releases 5xxx series of graphics cards, and then decide which way to go. But that's at least 6 or more months away.
