Might be a good option for @SharkyUK

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?
