The 5600X is a beast IMO, I had a 2600X IIRC that my kid now has, very good CPU, I understand why you'd like to compile with it 😁.

I also remember mobos were kind of bad, like 2 RAM lanes and few connectics compared to how it usually was "before".

    I made sure to get one with 4 slots (still haven't managed to use them all though) and good component cooling.
    Thinking back, getting the G version would have done better, but I didn't intend on swapping with a 5800X back then.

    Now it's just about getting the right parts to accompany the CPU and RAM I have lying around. And the HDDs of course. The Toshiba one ended up having an undesirable delay, meaning I would have to go with the Seagate ones priced 50% higher.

    And then a router not having a backdoor.
    Hopefully I can find one with OpenWRT without having to choose ASUS.
