I've Got the Fever!

Almost ready to pull the trigger on this new system.
Haven't run an AMD proc since the K6-2 when I ran into it's bug on Half-Life!
MSI MEG X570 UNIFY AM4 AMD X570 SATA 6Gb/s ATX AMD Motherboard

AMD RYZEN 9 3900X 12-Core 3.8 GHz (4.6 GHz Max Boost) Socket AM4 105W 100-100000023BOX Desktop Processor

G.SKILL Trident Z Neo (For AMD Ryzen) Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin RGB DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C16D-16GTZN

SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS M.2 2280 500 GB PCIe Gen 3.0 x4, NVMe 1.3 V-NAND 3-bit MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-V7S1T0B/AM

Gonna slide it all back into the old Coolermaster Cosmos S along with the same 11 year old PC Power & Cooling 750 Quad PSU & my modest Sapphire Nitro R9 380 card.
Got to re-pin unused graphics power for the second EPS-12V 8 pin (takes 2!). This board supposedly has decent VRMs so will try the stock CPU cooler. Hehe, I can run that cpu at stock speeds & still be quite pleased.
That case is filthy dirty, too. 11 fans & a water pump & no way I’m cleaning all those! I’ll be down a freakin’ week or 2 at least before I’m semi-satisfied.
Not sure waiting for Black Friday will help much...
