I build a new work / gaming PC every 5 to 6 years.
I'm self-employed and work from home. I also game all on the same PC.
I can afford whatever, but I don't want to spend more if I'm not going to notice the difference.
Tom's Hardware says the 7800XD3 is the bang/buck CPU, but I can't find a MOBO for it with glowing end user reviews (Newegg, Amazon, etc).
I want the pc to be fast AND reliable. I want to waste as little of my life as possible figuring [language redacted] is wrong with my PC.
I don't believe I've ever built an AMD machine. I'm ready to just go with an i7-14700K and be done with it.
How does everyone love their 7800XD3 but hate their MOBO?
