I already have the ram and the GPU. I was hoping negro Friday would bring deals, but I've actually watched the price get ticked up $10, $20 and then the item brought to "DEALS!" and had the price "lowered" $20.

I have a few various ITX boards picked out for LGA 1851 or AM5, but I'm curious about which CPU choice.

I'm wary of intel due to it's microcode bricking it's CPUs for the last 2-3 generations (unsure). And the last AMD processor I had was dual AMD athlon MPs. My current PC is a i7 6700k.

Stick with AMD.

That's what I'm learning toward. I'm more interested in Homelabbing and local AI. I have incredible parts, for the ones I have, and I don't know if Ryzen 9 9950x3d is worth the $150-$250 additional over the Ryzen 7 9800x3d.
