I got an AMD Ryzen 7 2700X a couple years ago, it runs very cool (fan hardly ever kicks above idle), but I also went with the biggest, quietest CPU cooler and bought an over sized case to fit it. I also went with the ‘buy a somewhat more expensive’ motherboard (ASRock X470 Taichi) than I need route. Never had any problems with it. I missed what you’re trying to do with your new system, (and you probably already know everything below), but here’s the usual suspects of where/how to pick parts and get the cheapest prices: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/socketType.html https://www.harddrivebenchmark.net/high_end_drives.html https://pcpartpicker.com/ Biggest system improvement seems to be getting the latest gen NVMe drive. Send me a PM if you want my build list (It’ll be a couple years out of date though). I should have my pcpartpicker list somewhere...
