> Yeah, that’s something I would feel much better about. It’s pretty decent in and of itself, plus it’s an am5 chip meaning it can actually be upgraded in a meaningful way several years from now. Even if they introduce am6 more quickly than expected, there is always the option to upgrade it to the 7800X3D, which is an actual upgrade that could be considered worth doing. I’m not sure upgrading 13400 to a 14700 down the road would be worth the money.

Well then, I’ll probably see about getting that NewEgg PC. The price point matched my expectation a little better too. And it sounds like it will do everything I need it to do for the forseeable future.
