Is this a good build?
Truthfully, because the am4 platform is nearing its end of life, if this build is meant to run for a while, I’d recommend looking into the 5700x3d. It will cost around $200 extra, but it should provide solid gaming performance for the remaining years of am4.
If you intend to maintain this machine beyond a few years, it’s strongly recommended to opt for a 5700X3D. Running the AM4 board would be extremely risky with such a setup. I’ve upgraded the power supply accordingly. The Gigabyte motherboard I selected offers better value for its price. I also noticed you didn’t have a CPU cooler for your previous build, so I installed one suitable for the new processor.
