Build Description
I built this for gaming and streaming. I started the build with the best CPU (at the time!), a Ryzen 5950x. With this CPU it has no problems running any game/program/encoding you give it. The CPU is paired with 32GB (4X8GB) 3600 DDR4 on an Asus ROG X570 Hero. And for the GPU I had to go with Nvidia to get their NVENC encoder. All I could get at the time was an EVGA RTX 3070. For 1440p game it gets the job done, but will be the next thing in my system to get upgraded.
Favorite Feature
I love this CPU. I didn't want to get the Ryzen 5950x, but it was the only Ryzen 5000 series I could get my hands on. I do not regret it. It has been the best gaming CPU for the past two years.
