Wanting to build a new desktop. AM4 or AM5 would be ideal. 

 

Looking for motherboard, CPU and or ram. GPU would be an added win. 

 

 

 

Cheers

I've got a spare i3 12100f for cheap if you're keen, great for budget gaming system and single core perf.

Helpful replies, thanks. 

 

 

 

90% desktop work 

 

10% gaming. 

 

 

 

6 or 8 core be good. 

 

 

 

$600 plus GPU?
