You're considering an upgrade for your Ryzen 7 2700X while keeping costs in mind. You're evaluating between the Ryzen 9 3900X and the Ripper 2950X, noting that your current board lacks RGB support and you need flexibility for gaming and creative software. Given your usage—games and photo editing tools like Photoshop, After Effects, and Lightroom—it makes sense to go with a versatile all-in-one system. The Ripper 2950X seems more suitable here due to its better performance and broader compatibility, though the Ryzen 9 could also work if you prioritize raw power.

What is this about? You're wondering why someone would change that CPU, since it's still quite up-to-date. For RGB options, there are affordable controllers available for around fifty dollars that connect via USB headers.

They perform well with single-threaded speed, but you might want to check your PSU.

I was just looking for something fresh and wanted to get back into building, but being stuck at home is really frustrating.
