Even so - 8000 series and 5000 series will be out - why spend top dollar on last gen tech if you don't have to. I actually will be going AMD next round as well.
It's a 5k Linux Minecraft machine, so.

It's an Alienware, any custom build with a newer card would do better. You don't need to spend 5k.

Slap a 5090 with some new fans and a new PSU into your current build and you'll get better results than any list you're drafting now.

I have no excuse. I just like this. I have too much money.

No way I'm getting a new PSU into that proprietary case. Also my current pc is going to my sister.

No. I will use this ram at 5800 or 6000mts, and upgrade to zen 6 later and get the full 6800. No point going 8200 48gb. Also why is this mobo's qvl up to 8200mt?
That was exactly my point a few posts back. Hoping for Zen6 higher speeds with a certified high speed DDR5 board.
I would still go for 8000MT though

Run Arrow Lake with CUDIMMs and you'll actually get 9000 MT+ if you need memory bandwidth.
