There is a motherboard shortage at the moment for Zen 2 CPUs so I would personally wait until at least that clears up.
- goliatone 6y agoThere’s a general shortage. I just built a workstation using a Ryzen 9 3900x and it was very hard to find a compatible, sanely priced, current design and with a good enough spec. I was doing research first and then trying to buy the motherboard but they would be out of stock. Had to change model 3 times before wising up and just going through available inventory and then research. Then the board wouldn’t POST :/ having a concrete issue to google for then surfaced tons of threads discussing the same or similar issues that hadn’t come up when I was doing research before buying. It took me a few days to finally be able to make it boot- it was probably an acculturation of small silly things like the board being picky about which cable/slot you plug in the monitor, removing and installing again RAM even tho it was seemingly well placed before, etc. BUT! I have now a nice beast running Pop_OS and I couldn’t be happier. I hadn’t had this feeling of noticing a performance gain in years of upgrading from MacBook to MacBook. I’m giggling of excitement just from thinking about working on that thing :)
