[SOLVED] Is this bundle good?

[zejodecast97]

Did I do a good decision or could I have bought something much better for the same price?
The bundle is a:

• MSI MPG B550 GAMING EDGE WIFI, ATX
• AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, AM4, 3.7 GHz, 12-Core, Boxed
• Kingston 32GB (2x16GB) HyperX Fury, DDR4 3200MHz, CL16, 1.35V,

Cost around 900euros

The cost is a bit high ~€757. Are you overpaying for the CPU?

MSI MPG B550 GAMING EDGE WIFI ~€189
-mediocre overclocking
-average audio chip
-lacks many bells and whistles

Kingston 32GB (2x16GB) HyperX Fury, DDR4 3200MHz ~€189
- A bit slower than what 4th gen likes, 3600mhz seems to be a sweet spot on the price/performance index for these chips.

Ryzen 9 5900X ~€550
- Hard to find and gets price gouged 😕

What will the pc be used for? If gaming then at what resolution and Hz and with what gpu?

If only for gaming it is hard to justify the 5900X. What gpu will you use?

Rtx 2080S, I like to buy the best so why not

Nothing wrong with the 5900x, excellent cpu. It just doesn't really offer much of a benefit over the 5800X for gaming. If going for a 5800x would allow you to go up in gpu, maybe a 3060Ti that would yield much better performance for your money. At 1080p the 2080S is very strong but for 4k it is mediocre. I upgraded my 2080S to a 3080 for 1440p and 4k gaming.

The difference between 5800 and 5900 is like 100euros, and thats not a lot considering how much more you get

What mb would you recommend for the 5900x?

I get that, but for gaming it adds a tiny amount of additional performance. If that €100 would allow you to get a 3060Ti you would get a bigger performance increase for your money especially in games that use Ray Tracing.

I really dont have any motivation to upgrade from my 2080s so

Fair enough, you didn't say you already had the gpu. If you were buying all parts including the gpu I think the €100 could give you more performance spent on the gpu. As you already have the gpu its a mute point.

There is nothing wrong with the 5900x, its a brilliant cpu.
