Looks pretty nice, but for many you'd be better off with: - AMD 5600x or 5700x (saving $500 or $400) - Samsung 970 pro 2TB for $229 (twice the space for the same price) - rtx 3060 (in a few weeks) You'll save a fair bit of $600, run quite a bit cooler, it will be much easier to be quieter, and have twice the disk space. Or buy 2x2TB NVMe (motherboards with 2x m.2 are common these days). Sure the 5600x/5700x isn't as fast in throughput, but how often do you max more then 6/8 cores? Per core performance is near identical and with more memory bandwidth per core you run into less bottlenecks. I bet over a few years more people would notice double the disk than the missing extra cores.
