Hi, I'm looking to replace my current i7 4790k with an AMD Ryzen 5000 series setup. I have a budget of about $1000 AUD and need suggestions for motherboard, CPU, and RAM. I mainly use the system for casual gaming and productivity tasks like CAD, Revit, and Photoshop. Let me know what you recommend!
