Just kicking it around at the moment ...

You asked for it lol.

Build the Ryzen you won't regret it. My 3rd gen Ryzen chip is the fastest AMD chip that I've upgraded to since my old Athlon XP 3200+. I'm running a R7 3700x.

I should of waited a couple months for the 5000 series chips because they are not alot more than what I paid for my 3700x and they are alot faster. My 3700x beats my brothers i9 9900k hands down and it runs alot cooler.

I want to get a used nvidia RTX 2060 super or 2070 super but I'll need to upgrade my power supply 1st. And the prices are still ridiculously high because of the scalpers and crypto miners buying up all of the RTX 3000 series cards. 

RTX 3070 MSRP is $499 and they are getting listed for $700-$900 on ebay. The RTX 2060 Super is literally 1/2 af fast as a 3070 and it's selling for $500-$700 on ebay.

I don't mind buying a used video card or power supply as long as they are good quality to begin with and are kept clean and not overclocked or used for crypto mining. I bought my my CMPSU-650HX 650w Corsair power supply back in 2008 when CompUSA closed it's doors. They had a big store closing sale and I bought it and a couple motherboards really cheap. 

Only reason I need another power supply is this one ony has the 30 pin and 1 4x4 pin motherboard power connector and it has 2x 6 pin PCIE power connectors. My motherboard has 2 x 4x4 power connectors on it and I'm only using the 1. It works just fine but I can not overclock with it or put in a newer video card that has the 8 pin power connectors until I upgrade the power supply.
