New The PC Build Thread

I'm thinking about getting some upgrades for my current pc as it's limited by the CPU and the mobo, and I don't see anything on Carb that is drawing my attention. This is what I have at the moment:

• Processor (CPU): AMD Ryzen 5 8500G
• Graphics Card (GPU): RX 9060 XT 16GB
• Motherboard: MSI A620M-E Pro (AM5 / DDR5)
• RAM: 32GB (2x16GB) Patriot Viper Venom 6000MHz DDR5 RGB

I could swap the CPU to a Ryzen 5 9600X, but I think the X3D would be better for me. Any thoughts?

Get an B850 for a scooch more. The 9600x is better for productivity, but the 7500x3d would be better for gaming.
