I can't see dates anywhere on the box. I read that 1st Gen Ryzen has their datecode as part of the S/N. The 3600 (3rd Gen) seems to use a different S/N format.

I was originally looking to get an X570 board but settled on the B550 instead. Three things why:

1. The X570's PCH chip is actively-cooled... another part that can potentially break.
2. One reason for the premium price is because of PCIe Gen 4.0 on ALL slots, which I won't need... not yet anyway
3. For about the same price as an X570, you get a higher-end B550 with better VRMs and a little more bells and whistles

The B550 supports Gen 4.0 on both the primary PCIe x16 and NVMe slots. This is the best AM4 motherboard for now, both in value and in future-proofing.

There I go.... down the rabbit hole.

I agree on all points. some of the newer b550s have the newish vrm chips. which in the long run would be less heat in the computer room and will last a 10+yrs.

I kept my ryzen 3900 on an X570 Auros MB stock.

GPU is always my limitation. Using a GTX 2080 Super but will upgrade to one of those new GTX 3080 or 3090s when they arrive. Am not a heavy CPU user but cant have enough FPS hehehe.

rumors say the 3080 will be around 900$ while the 3090 around 1800$

I'm really intersted with the 3080ti... i'm hoping its not too badly priced. LOL

Jeez, how is an RTX 2080 Super not enough? Rich people problems.. lol

I only have a lowly RX 560 to play Forza and only casually. 40-60 FPS and I'm happy. Though, I am looking to upgrade to a used 1650 Super or 1660. I also use this PC for video editing, among a few others, so the Turing NVENC and NVDEC chips from the 1650 or 1660 are a plus.

Anong monitor gamit ninyo? Want to upgrade from a 60Hz 1440P Dell Ultrasharp.

I really can't get into TN panels. Something about the way it lights the screen, and the off-angle color shift is really off to me.

LG 27GL850 got very good reviews especially its overdrive mode that is usable in almost all refresh rates, but can't find any locally.

IPS the ASUS TUF VG27AQ seems to be a good buy. Price drop to around 20k from previous SRP of around 27k.

For VRR seems like Freesync/GSync Compatible is now the better choice over GSync coz it'll work with both Nvidia and AMD graphics cards.
