So to start off I'm sure I know what the answer would be but it's more than just a question. Which CPU and Motherboard I should upgrade to? PSU upgrade? This is my build.
CPU: Ryzen 7 3700x CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 Motherboard: Asus Tuf gaming x570 wifi plus Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws 2x16 3600mhz GPU: EVGA XC Ultra 2080 Super PSU: Corsair RM750 Storage: 1x Corsair MP600 Pro Nvme 2x Samsung 860 Evo SSD 1x Seagate 2TB HDD
There is most definitely a discussion somewhere with what I'm gonna ask, but I wanna ask for my use and my build specifically. I mainly play games on my pc and do CAD work on autocad, revvit, and I'm going to get into some other cad programs as well learning blender and this build is great for gaming but I'm starting to get into video editing, recording gameplay, and streaming as well and I'd like your opinions as well as potentially sharing links to benchmarks, your personal experience or anything of the sort. I was deciding between a Ryzen 9 5900 or a Ryzen 9 5950x. I plan on upgrading my motherboard to a x570s motherboard with atleast 4 M.2 slots, and going for a bigger PSU, would a 850 watt PSU be fine or should I go for a 1000+ watt PSU? I don't plan on upgrading GPU since it's more than enough for my games. Now a one of the potentially dumbest questions I've been wondering about thqt you might hear but say there's enough slots for 4 M.2 NVME SSDs, and 8 SSDs connected to a motherboard, can they all be used or does it depend on the motherboard? I'm curious to see what y'all would say and suggest. Thanks for your time by the way!

I would not be apt to upgrade your current build.
Just for reference, I have a 5950x, 6800 XT, 64 GB of 3600 MHz CL-16, X570 I Gaming, WD SN850 4.0 NVMe, WD SN550 3.0 NVMe, (2) WD S500 SDD, SF 750, AIO and a whole bunch of other stuff.
AutoCad and Rivet are pretty light on CPU usage. Blender, while heavier will more than likely not see substantial improvement unless you upgrade the GPU.
The 5950x is not going to improve any of the things you are doing. It is awesome for computation and data modeling but for many is overkill out of the box. And I don't think the cost is justified for upgrading to the 5900x unless you also do the GPU.
A 1000 watt PSU is not necessary.
ID: hjyzan2ID: hjz2crnHere is the dilemma with upgrading to a 4.0 NVMe. If you are doing so for data transfer and a snappier OS it will make a difference. You would probably notice a slight difference but would still be bottlenecked by the CPU and GPU.
In order to take advantage of PCIe 4.0 in games you would need a 4.0 motherboard and GPU. In addition, if you are using a riser that would need to be upgraded.
If you are purchasing a 2 TB 4.0 NVMe the cost is probably not justified. But for smaller storage increments it may be reasonable.
I personally would not.

Upgrade the cpu if it’s limiting you in the games you play otherwise I wouldn’t touch anything. Especially the motherboard… you are already on a pretty good board on an socket close to end of support, what’s the point in spending money on something that wouldn’t give you any performance improvements nor future upgrade paths?
If you really need more m.2 slots i think you would be able to get the same out of one of those pcie to m.2 adapter cards without spending money for a new motherboard.
ID: hjz175rGotcha, it's a first I've heard of one of those adapters so I'll look into that, appreciate it!
ID: hjz6ex6You can also reduce the size of an SSD by removing it from the enclosure. The actual SSD hardware is only about a third of the size of the 2.5 enclosure. It would probably be more cost effective for data storage and lower speed access.
I removed two SSDs drives from the enclosures to fit them into a single a 2.5 area in my FormD T1. I need smaller individual hard drives with separate EFIs, one per hard drive, for testing multiple operating systems. The first SSD has Linux and storage for movies and drone footage. The second is for testing MacOS on my Hackintosh before updating the EFI on the primary drive and a second backup of important files.
ID: hjz1vf8If you absolutely need storage invest in a bigger nvme drive (they go up to 4tb nowadays which seems plenty tbh) rather than spending money by adding smaller additional drives. The convenience of one big storage pool is just too good.
And if you plan on putting more nvme drives in raid well, unless you absolutely need redundancy I wouldn’t bother honestly. Pcie4 drives are plenty fast already.
ID: hjz4vawThat is a really good point to just add more storage via PCIe. I am stuck in the ITX mindset with only one PCIe slot.
Something like the Asus Hypercard might be the optimal solution.

First off nice build by the way. I'll be completely honest, you basically just talked me out of it especially since I've been on the fence about it all but I'm curious though because I'm still trying to learn what I can in terms of pc specs and use cases for them and if "upgrades" like what I mentioned are really worth it for the price. Would it be wise to at the very least change motherboard that way I have more m.2 storage?
