Honestly with those prices Im very tempted go just sell my ryzen 2700x, my 64gb ddr4 crucial pro, get a chinese motherboard and 64gb of ecc ddr3 ram.

At least I would still have space for more ram and more cores which are what are limiting me the most right now.
Of course I realize that power consumption is going to be higher but I already feel like my system is overkill, I just need a lot of ram and cores so I can run all the vms and apps I want to run.

Is this something you have done with the recent prices? Or you consider?

Here's my current system

Ryzen 2700x
Asrock B450M Pro4 R2.0
DDR4 4x16gb crucial pro at 2666
GT610
2x14tb hdd
2x1tb ssd
nvme and m.2 sata ssd
Jonsbo N4
FSP 500 gold psu
