I'm gonna wait on a board since it's gonna take me awhile to get everything together. The CPU was my main focus. Ain't no way I was gonna let it sell out and have to wait months to get one. Now I just need a 7900XTX, waterblock, motherboard, new PSU, RAM, and uh a new case I guess.

The 7900 XTX blocks that I might want all come out in March or April so I have time to plan this thing out.

Finally found it on Amazon. To be delivered on Mar 7. My newegg order already shipped, due on Mar 6. Amazon is slipping.
 
Is it expected new boards will boot with these chips and allow you to update the bios? Can these AM5 boards update bios without a chip?
 
Just purchased a 7900X3D, along with the ASUS ROG Strix motherboard; and also 32GB of DDR5 at 6000 CL30.

Was pretty expensive (in Canadian dollars I think the term 'expensive' doesn't really do it justice) but it should last me a few years. I'm planning on buying the 7900 XTX card in a few months to complete the whole thing.

If that was the 670E board that's $600 CAD ,7900X3D is $800 CAD Memory $250+ CAD then add sales tax almost 2k I would say very expensive fits.

I had expected to feel that way, but I actually don't... yet. I want full confirmation of no funny business with the thread prioritization that I don't need to worry about at all with my regular Z4. It's also productivity lead on the regular version vs slightly % wise bigger gaming lead on the X3D version. I'd probably choose the latter in an ideal world, but it would have been a 6 month lag regardless.

Yeah, it was expensive but I did prepare for it for about a year by now, or a bit more.

ASUS ROG Strix X670E-F at $599
7900X3D at $809
G-Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB Expo 32GB 6000 CL30 at $279

So $1,687 before taxes. I think overall it was around $1,850 with taxes.

The "big" one is going to be the 7900 XTX at around $1,680. I'm aiming the XFX Speedster Merc310 version, great reviews for that one all around. If not, the Gigabyte model (can't recall the whole name). This is the kind of 'Full Upgrade' I do only once every 3 to 4 years though. My current system was purchased over a much longer period of time, multiple components over about 2 years total. But this time it's a full upgrade in 'one shot', everything bought within the past 2 months only (other things were 2 more SSDs, a new Headphone for gaming, and a Gold rated Seasonic 850 Watts PSU).

Is your sig accurate so upgrade from the 3080?

I wonder if there will be a spring price drop for the 7900XTX maybe right in line with your timing.
 
Does any one here currently own the MSI X670e Carbon or the Gigabyte X670e Aorus Master motherboards ? I bought a 7950x non X3d last week and need a motherboard. these are the only 2 I pretty much like that aren't over the top ugly or blinding people with RGB.

I read through the entire thread and one person mentioned the MSI carbon but never replied if he purchased it or not. which of these 2 would be better to purchase? I will be air cooling with the D15 Dark Chromax. Also need which ever will have the most compatibility with running 4 sticks of g.skill S5 4 x 16gb 5600 expo ram..
