AMD RYZEN 9 3950 cpu

This CPU is a very high powered CPU that is more aimed towards a gamer user who has lots of extra money to spend on a high quality build. It’s got lots of processing power for any needs for any type of creator also, running efficiently with something recommended like an AMD RX 5700 graphics card.

It is a 3rd generation series AMD processor that fits an AM4 socket. It includes,

  • 16 cores
  • 3.5 GHz
  • 8MB L2 Cache
  • 64MB L3 Cache
  • DDR4 3200 Memory type
  • 4.0 PCI

It’s power is noticeable when considering its 72MB cache memory and its PCIe 4.0 speeds, 16 cores and 32 processing threads, giving double graphics and storage bandwidth, it delivers a smooth gaming experience for any professional, looking for that new CPU to give their experience a lot more edge. It has been considered the most powerful 16 Core processor that has been made.

I would recommend this CPU to anyone who has the money to pay for it, since it goes for 799.99 on Newegg.com. It is a great CPU for any Gamer or designer and creator to process their art, videos, photos, games and many more. It is definitely created for professional people considering the price tag, but investing this kind of money into a CPU can be efficient and future proof any cpu difficulties you might run into for a while into the future.

ASUS TUF B450-PLUS Motherboard Review


This gaming mother board is a good quality motherboard for your average gamer needs. It is not made specifically for any home or business setting. This is optimal for the average consumer and doesn’t have to be purchased by professional gamers. 

It is made by Asus and is an AMD compatible. Asus is based in Taipei Taiwan, and was established there in 1989. Asus focuses on electronics from things such as motherboards to full on computers to smartphones and speakers. They focus on a wide range of products that give consumers a familiarity with the brand. Asus has been given the title as #1 motherboard and gaming brand as well as top three consumer.

The B450 Plus was released in 2018, and it is compatible with the newest cpus and memory with an ATX form factor.

It comes with a SafeSlot and Over-voltage protection as well to keep the motherboard stable. It also includes RGB lighting customization. It’s USB 3.1 allows for very speedy data transfer speeds, up to 10 GBPS.

I found it on Newegg.com with an overall reviewed 4 eggs out of five, and 50% of reviewers gave it a 5/5 with their purchase. This is a good and affordable motherboard that should be used for gaming, but can most likely be used as any other type of motherboard, its just not recommended. It is now available on Newegg.com for $118.99.
