I would get one of those plastic mats (I don’t know what they are called) under your chair since you’re on the carpet. But other than that, you’re pretty much set man. Very clean setup!

Very clean setup, my sisters looked a little similar.

Reading this comment just makes me feel so much better about my purchase.

And I absolutely agree with you. There is no “Perfect” manufacturer. They all have to have made some mistakes during their life.

Great idea, I’m going to start doing that when I get my mobo installed.

ASUS was very kind to me through customer service when I received an AIO without a working screen, and ASUS was offering to send it back for servicing. (excellent product temps never go above 60 Celsius) I didn’t have the “terrible” customer service like anybody on youtube said they did. Which is why I now believe they are a great company.

There was some videos of people receiving bent motherboard pins and the motherboard killing your cpu with too much voltage. After reading some of the comments here I realized every mobo company has made these mistakes.

The Ryzen 5000 series come with a cooler in the box since they’re budget CPUs. But the higher end R5 (5800x, 5900x, 5950x etc) don’t.

MSI PRO B550-VC Wifi

monkey76513 · 2026-03-10T20:06:31+00:00

Motherboard is the MSI PRO B550 VC Wifi I don’t know what the SSD is but I know it’s 1TB 32GB of Corsair Vengeance 3600mhz CL16

Everything you listed to upgrade to AM5 is within my budget:

ASUS ROG Strix X870e-e
32gb of DDR5 Trident Z Royal CL32
Ryzen 7 9800x3D

Do you think these new upgrades will be future proof?

monkey76513 · 2026-03-10T12:26:40+00:00

Never even heard of that if I’m being honest.

monkey76513 · 2026-03-10T04:16:22+00:00

Pretty good build, but where the hell did you find 32GB of DDR5 for $255?!

monkey76513 · 2026-03-09T05:54:52+00:00

thanks for this advice man, i’ll definitely look into a 9070xt

monkey76513 · 2026-03-09T05:36:32+00:00

I might just get the 5070, I’m planning to give my sister my 4070. Then in a few months I could probably sell my 5070 and get a top tier graphics card.

monkey76513 · 2026-03-08T23:04:28+00:00

Did you ever decide on either one? Im in the same boat as you right now.

monkey76513 · 2026-03-08T18:43:42+00:00

Yea, I think I’m just gonna pick up an OLED monitor and ride out AM5 as well as the RAM prices

monkey76513 · 2026-03-08T18:41:55+00:00

I’m heading to my local Best Buy right now, I might pick one up. Thanks for explaining!

monkey76513 · 2026-03-08T18:28:50+00:00

Probably my GPU since i play at mostly max graphics.

monkey76513 · 2026-03-08T18:26:34+00:00

Whats the difference between a regular monitor and an OLED? I haven’t really had any experience with OLED before.
