following your advice, I believe investing in an am5 instead of am4 system will make it much easier to upgrade parts in the future, and get me the longevity I need. Though the upfront price is +200 usd, in the long run I'd be saving 300-400 usd. My budget is 800-1100 usd but hopefully, after waiting for sales/ optimal prices, I can save about 100 or more usd!
I've settled on the ryzen 7700 (nonX) and rx 6600. Yeahhhh 6600 is a bit weak but I only plan on playing valorant/cs2 on medium/low settings. Windows-exclusive lightweight games, maybe some heavier games like subnautica and minecraft with epic shaders. No triple AAA games on 4k. At most 1440p and 165 hz. If I do want to upgrade gpu's in the future, it would be just that! (hopefully)

I've bought a keyboard!!!! EISA PRO (reddragon budget mechanical keyboard). It's much better than anything I've had so far, and I love using it so far :D. Quiet, wireless, long battery life, cool rgb features ~45 usd.
Let me know your thoughts :DD,, compatibility, future-proofing, anything! It doesn't say on the list, but I'm making sure the RAM I get is amd EXPO opitimized.
if you have nothing to say,.. uhhh, just say "all good" lol
