In hindsight I didn't NEED to get this CPU, but I wanted to be future-proofed so that I don't have to upgrade for a long time (I'm not a fan of constantly swapping out motherboards, it's too finnicky to do on a regular basis) and seeing how long the 5800X3D has held on, I think it was a good choice for that basis

if push comes to shove I can always just upgrade to a 9800X3D later on, or maybe a 9950X3D if games and programs start meaningfully using more than 8 cores (none of this dumb Intel "15+ comepletely fucking useless e-cores that is only used by rendering programs!" bullshit)
