Aye that's what i ultimately decided on, thanks for the reassurance.

I'm having trouble deciding between the msi mag b650 tomahawk wifi and the msi pro b650p wifi for my mobo. Anything advice?

Definitely will keep that in mind, right now I'm focused on bringing it to modern specs, then going from there.

I'll probably get an nvme drive down the road, i already have an ssd for my boot drive. My budget is about $800 so im reaching the upper bounds here.

I've updated my build. How's this look? link

Oddly enough i don't see pc parts picker showing the 7700x3xd as an option.

Yeah this will be primarily for gaming. It also will probably be upgraded over time as well.

Looks like an amtrak car, love Amtrak.
