I appreciate any imput (I mostly made theaccording to builds of other people so I don't know which is better...)

Well right off the bat the first build is flagged with the following incompatibility warnings...

• Warning!Some AMD B450 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Matisse CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions.
• Note:Some physical dimension restrictions cannot (yet) be automatically checked, such as cpu cooler / RAM clearance with modules using tall heat spreaders.

The second has no incompat warnings, but the new 5700 GPUs have not exactly been trouble free.

The MSI MAX motherboard do not need a BIOS update to support 3rd generation yYzen CPUS, so no big deal there. However in the first build the PSU picked is not good at all. However, the CPU, ram, and ssd in the first system is better.

I would mix the 2 systems together a bit.
