What is your budget? What are you using the PC for and what monitor are you using with this?
I've already ordered this but its mainly for 3d modeling and gaming maybe a little rendering using a Benq xl2411 (might upgrade to a samsung odyssey montor)

Yes, there is a delay on the 5950x....there's a supply/demand problem on all the new AMD CPUs. Not sure what is happening with them with deliveries etc...think there's a thread around somewhere that may give you more idea
Thanks Ill see if I can find it

Here you go....it started in October so might be worth just skipping to the last 5 pages or so:

Thanks for this, I didnt realize the wait was that long but its not a problem for me I can keep my old computer alive for a few months I think

I'd change your wifi from N to AX as N is a very old technology. And possibly increase ram to 3200 or 3600 speed - not sure what's the max this motherboard support. I think you could get a better cooler...

Yeah the WiFi isnt that important I'm going to be hardwired its just for redundancy. I would have got faster ram but they dont offer 128gb any faster than 3000 unfortunately and I did end up changing the cooler to the H115i
