if you were to upgrade the most cruicial and worthwhile is to go from 8gb to 24gb or 40gb

Seems to run pretty cool, 3dmark11 took CPU to 61 and GPU to 77. CPU idles at 29-30 and GPU at 32-33.

Only one issue on this build - waking the computer from sleep. I’ve googled this and changed the settings in BIOS, but no luck getting the mouse/keyboard to wake PC from sleep. BIOS is latest version. I have to hold the power button down to get it to reboot. For now I just don’t have it sleeping, but don’t want to leave it like that long term.

you did this exactly?
Advanced Settings ->
Wake up event Setup -> Enable Wake on USB device
i'm assuming you have a usb keyboard/ and or mouse
(i say assume b/c i still use a ps2 keyboard, so...)

Yes - I have done that exactly. I’ve gone back and enabled wake on ps2 in addition just to try it, but haven’t tested it yet.

Given that Zen 3+ will be the last upgrade for AM4, I am sure they will be very popular and in short supply. But most AM4 owners will be better off waiting for one regardless. Given the small Alder Lake performance bump, cost of DDR5, lack of PCIe5 GPUs and NVMes, one can easily skip a generation or two with a top tier AM4 system while waiting for prices to come down, PCIe5 to become relevant, and the process to be refined and bugs worked out. That's my plan anyway.

I’ve got their Taichi 6800XT and it’s been amazing. I’m actually gonna buy this one you linked though as I’ve been looking for 6900XT and will flip my 6800XTAnd I was convinced by some rando's in the StockDrops Discord to get the 6900XT from ASRock. It's apparently a beast? Lol. I couldn't hold out any longer.

Yea, side-by-side comparisons and benchmarks will put nVidia cards ahead. But in the end, I'm not running 2 side by side computers with AMD vs nVidia, I'm just running the one and when I throw this 6900XT into my machine with 5950x it's gonna pump out FPS that I've never seen before.
My backlog of games grew huge because now I want to go back and see what some of these games look like with all the graphics turned all the way up!

Not always the case - and depends on the card but in most non DLSS/RT situations the 6900XT will actually come out on top - Also the fastest AMD beats the fastest Nvidia in resolutions under 4k. Hardware unboxed has a good video on the top performing cards of each brand battling

Did try that - but it’s weird, cranks up the fans and lights up RGB ram and GPU, but doesn’t wake the monitor or the peripherals (mouse and keyboard).
Have gone through and not allowed computer to power down USB devices, disabled hibernate, lots of other things but no luck so far.

Grabbed a 5900x. $470. Had a 3700x. Pretty decent upgrade although mostly completely unnecessary. Had to upgrade RAM, decided that if I have to take off the Noctua, might as well make it worth my 5 minutes.
Getting a lot of miles out of this Noctua NH-D14. Got it for the 4790K. Grabbed a $7 AM4 kit for it when Ryzen came out. Still a monster. PC worked on a video file for 30 minutes and it hit 60C.
Reloaded the OS since it has been 14 months since I last did it. Feels FLEET. I don't add programs from all over hell's half acre, but driver updates and hardware swaps takes its toll over time, I guess.
Intel Wifi 6 AX 200 adapter that I got a while ago really sucks down the bits. A+ hardware.
Updated my older programs to new versions because why not.
Had a pile of Amazon bucks from my Amazon card...used it to grab a mainboard for the 3700x and stuff I had sitting around....free computer essentially.

Yep someone finally offered me 7k for that system and i balked lol - i was all for selling it till i realized id put so much work into it i wouldnt want to start over - That plus it runs everything like a dream on the CX48.
This video bothers me because it refocuses the issue of people underestimating AMD because it doesnt do good RT or have DLSS but the cards are fuckin beastmode at pure power. If you can get AMD off AMD you likely struck gold because that $999 6900XT will wreck at that price point and the 6800XT beats the 3090 in some cases at $649
