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.

The 9800x3D is an amazing processor, especially for gaming if that's your cup of tea. I'm not sure if the 9950x3D would be worth the increase in price UNLESS you need the higher clock speeds for productivity work.

Intel is garbage unless you get one of their low power chips. And that's only because AMD just doesn't make enough of their APUs to bring the prices down.
