Based on the fact it cannot take memory above 4000mhz without issues I cannot help but feel I could've gotten a better deal for the same price if I had waited a few months.
I believe the new ryzen series will be based on AM5 and DDR5 ram, so demand for both motherboards and ram sticks will be pretty high making prices absurd for a while. DDR5 ramkits seem to be around 300 dollars for 32 gb at the moment and AFAIK they don't offer much performance increase over ddr4.

I'm not satisfied with the performance I have right now, my GPU is bottlenecking me in VR and ray tracing games.
Oh, well, in that case, you'd be best off getting the RTX 3060 now, if you can find one for a decent price. Reason I discourage waiting is, who knows how high the prices'll be a year from now.
Get what you can afford, if spending 1k+ on a 3080 is feasible for you right now then go for it. There is not much info on the 4xxx series of cards besides "speculation" about power draw and it using PCIe 5 for power delivery.
I'll have to wait for a couple more paychecks (i'm aiming for either a 3070ti or just going and getting a 3080), hopefully prices will go down more by then.
It's really cheap and by no means bad, but it is a 4c/8t Zen 2 CPU from what I can see.
Bad price. Also resolution? Fps? Newegg currently has a Ryzen 5600x/Radeon 6600xt combo for $630. That's a solid starting point.
here's my list if you want to scream in terror or nod in approval. I'm going to be using a 1920x1080p with a 75hz refresh rate
Did some quick math and it seems like you are better off with a 5800x and an AM4 motherboard (b550 or x570 based on the features you want), unless you have a specific reason for those components (don't wanna deal with weird AMD issues for example), as for the gpu I would steer more on the nvidia side but I have a bias of not wanting to deal with shitty AMD drivers.
Greatly exaggerated. 6700xt has been working just fine while the 1080ti was having the driver issues. TBF I had a 5700xt have some driver issues too. Happens on both sides.
