Quick Spec Lookup:
Ryzen 9 3900x (Yay for multitasking)
Asus x570 ROG itx (3weeks from order time to drop off location)
RX 5700xt Sapphire Nitro+
32Gb Corsair LPX 3200Mhz (More for Google Overlord)
1Tb Samsung 970 evo NVME + 1Tb WD Blue M.2.

I feel dirty saying that I swapped to an AMD build on this forum.
TL:DR-
-AMD = All Rounder (Performance/$) Compared to Intel/Nvidia. Users may have to overcome some nuances during initial phases.
-Cores Cores Cores.
-“You the Paldin” With his Lisa Su Pillow and AMD stock.

Initial Comments :
Took me roughly a day to get everything the way I like it. Fan Curve, Drivers/Firmware update, and undervolting. Ryzen still process load…oddly which causes your fan to ramp up and down. Though it isn’t as bad as Release Zen2.

USB Roulette became a thing for me as well. Still trying to resolve my mouse stuttering issue. Seems like it happens less on USB 3.2 Gen2

Temperature seem to be pretty tamed ~45c with misc tasking (Youtube, word) and peaked 80c for gaming. I found temps under load much better compared to the 9900k.

Final Thoughts:
Compared to Intel/Nvidia, AMD does offer a better all rounder (its known by most people at this point). It is definitely not the best for gaming but its only a bit behind.

Though I still highly recommend against being a Day 1 user for AMD due to nuances that may happen. Intel/Nvidia are not innocent either, but I found them to have less intrusive issues. Intel/Nvidia are still my go to if I need something that is plug and play.
