Pros: I'm very happy with this CPU. It is my first time ever buying a brand new part immediately on release, and I am very pleased with my experience. It benchmarked @ 96th Percentile with the standard 'Auto Overclock' of +0.2GHz. (Yes this is an overclockable X3D chip!)

Cons: Truth be told, if you're just looking for good price to performance in gaming, the 7600x or 9600x is going to be good enough for most people. If you like to dabble in some productivity stuff that is quite CPU intensive, consider the 7700x, 9700x, or a higher tier Ryzen 9. However, for the absolute best gaming performance, this is still king.

Overall Review: It's really not worth the money for most people, but I intend to upgrade my GPU in the next 2-3 years depending on what comes out, and having this CPU makes me feel confident that no matter what GPU I choose, it'll be a great combo! If you're buying this chip (somehow) in 2024 or early 2025, your motherboard will likely need a BIOS update. Make sure the new BIOS has AMD AGESA 1.2.0.2a and you'll be good!

Pros: I absolutely adore the Corsair 4000D Airflow. It's a great case for a minimalist aesthetic, and focuses on performance. It has great airflow and cable management options, and looks surprisingly good.

Cons: The RM750e is an adequate PSU for most builds in this case. However, I'd probably skip the bundle and grab an RMx 2024 Power Supply. The build quality of the RMx series, and especially the 2024 model, is so much higher. The acoustics are better, the capacitors are better, and the cables are even better. It's a bit more expensive in some places, but I saw that the RM750x and RM750e are sometimes about the same price. This also lets you choose the version of the case with RGB fans pre-installed, if you're into that.

Overall Review: The case supports 3 front fans, 2 top fans, and a single rear fan. I suggest intakes on front and exhaust on the top and back. This makes a neutral pressure, which is good, but top case fans aren't 'ideal' with horizontal CPU air coolers. This case would ideally pair with a 240mm or 280mm AIO mounted to the top as exhaust, but I can confirm that a Dark Rock Pro 5 air cooler does work with regular exhaust fans up top. Overall amazing case, but I'd grab it separately and choose your PSU separately as well. I have only good things to say of the RMx 2024 models!

Pros: This version of the RMx PSU comes with a full set of embossed cables. They are much more flexible and easy to route compared to previous Corsair offerings, and are more similar to individually sleeved cables. I love the high-quality feel of these cables. The fan is much quieter compared to the RMe PSU I had, and the peace of mind given the Japanese capacitors and other premium components definitely doesn't hurt. This is a future-proof option with its recent updates to support ATX3.1, PCIE 5.1, and 12VHPWR.

Cons: This definitely isn't the cheapest option available. The Be Quiet Pure Power 12M is a more affordable competitor that likely offers similar build quality, acoustic performance, and reliability. I'd still take this for the extra ~$20 for my daily driver PC, though.

Overall Review: I would recommend this PSU. I was uncertain if I had made the right choice over the Be Quiet PSU, but the cables really put me over the edge. Love the way they look and how easy it was to build with them compared to the typical cables.

Pros: Works fine Relatively inexpensive

Cons: SSD would be faster

Pros: Fits all the parts you would want Plenty of clearance for many components, including support for some E-ATX motherboards Supports 3 SSD and 2HDD in dedicated space Plenty of cable management space Supports 5 chassis fans and liquid cooling

Cons: The case's RGB isn't compatible with all motherboards, so make sure your motherboard supports 3 pin rgb

Overall Review: Get this case if you want an aesthetic and efficient mid tower pc

Pros: Monitor works perfectly with my gaming pc Looks great Supports HDMI

Cons: Doesn't display on entire screen when connected to a laptop with a different aspect ratio
