    Get back to me when you need to replace your ram :P

    One of the reasons I went with AM4 was platform maturity, at the time AM5 was new (launched sept 2022).

    My prices are in aud btw (if you didn’t notice).

    Bigger number better is also not how I do things, and it isn’t the direction that tech should have moved.

    My choices of a 5700x and a 6800 (non xt) were very deliberate due to performance/efficiency. I could have easily gone to a x3d and a higher end graphics card.

    I have no regrets about what I chose, aside from I should have just gone with a b series board, and maybe a different case, I wanted a non glass case that could hold at least 3 hdd’s, and (at least in Australia) that was more difficult than it should have been, due ot silly people and their silly lights = glass sided cases being the norm. I ended up with a Be Quiet Silent Base 802, which is okay, but could be better, and could be smaller (I should have originally bought 2x 8,10, 02 12Tb hdd’s, instead of 3x 6Tb)
