Well, a major workstation upgrade is on the cards this year... assuming I can get hold of my ordered 5090! I'm alright for PSU, case, cooling, cabling, and storage. But I will need a new CPU, mobo, and RAM. Thanks both for the link and mention. However, without wanting to sound like an ungrateful pr!ck, it's not a high enough baseline spec for what I'm wanting/needing. Ideally, I want to go with a HEDT CPU again and a mobo that has additional PCI-E lanes, and support for 192GB RAM. I'm not sure whether to go Team Blue or Team Red with the CPU, whilst the GPU is Team Green. It's a shame AMD aren't pursuing that top tier of the GPU market.
The issue for AMD is that people buy Nvidia products whether they're better or not, because Nvidia. So they don't get the revenue to fund the top tier.
It's a bit like Intel 20 odd years ago, the AMD CPUs might have been better but people still bought Intel, because Intel.
I also often see the reason "bEcAuSe aMd DrIvErS aRe BaD"...yeah about 25 years ago. Over the past few years I've personally had more issues with Nvidia drivers than AMD.

well i bought my first part for the nuw build, i got the Lian Li 216 Lancool Mid Tower non RGB. It was the one i allways wanted and had a look at other brands too but the 216 looks great and well reviewed. After hitting the buy button it crossed my mind wether i should of gotten the RGB version instead.
Still waiting for new gpraphic cards to hit the market, i don't think the 5070 or the 9070 will be for me, the 5060 / 5060TI will be for what i need or even the 9060 just hope there's more than enough supply to go round and keep cost low
What Thermalright cpu air cooler fan i'll need for a AM5 9000 AM5 for say a 9060 or a 5060 gpu? i see there a few versions, are the intel the same amd or not regarding the same cooler for both versions?

I'm not sure how closely you follow Team Green, but the latest run of drivers supporting 50x0 have been one trainwreck after another, and it's also affected older series cars as nVidia try to fix the numerous issues that are surfacing. aMd DrIvErS wOrK bEsTeReR rIgHt NoW.
EDIT: In fact, I think AMD drivers would probably work better powering nVidia hardware right now. 🤣

No mate, it will be 3 months of waiting in a few days time. And I was a "lucky" one who got a day one pre-order.
I've still got 131 people in front of me and that queue position number drops by about 3 or 4 a week (on a good week). Scan were happy to take my 3k immediately, of course... and have been sitting on that money. I can get a refund, but I then lose my position in the queue. It's an absolute farce. By the time I get the GPU, I'll be putting in the order for the 6090.

Nvidia don’t give a s**t about gamers now, they’re just cranking out megabucks in the AI sector.
Power draws are getting stupid too, I don’t want a 250w CPU and a 500w GPU, may as well just run an electric heater.

Overclockers have had loads of Astrals to buy "off the shelf" a few times over the last few weeks.No mate, it will be 3 months of waiting in a few days time. And I was a "lucky" one who got a day one pre-order.
