I regret buying the Ryzen 7 5700X, but not why you think

In mid-2022, I won a PC building completion organized by Nvidia and WD, and I got the opportunity to take home the very PC I built. Except for the RTX 3080 and the WD Black SN770, I had free rein to pick whatever components I wished for, provided I stayed within the $1,800 budget. While I couldn't choose a Ryzen 7000 CPU due to a hard deadline (the Zen 4 launch was still 2 months away), I was extremely happy with the Ryzen 7 5700X.
