AMD Ryzen
scuzzy:
I'm toying with the idea of building another computer in the next two or three years, possibly an AMD Ryzen build.
It'd be nice to have 2 onboard modern M.2 SSD drives, with possibly the next new thing in RAM. Onboard USB 3.1 & 3.2, and Type-C would be a big plus.

This sounds interesting but a win 10 project. Why not think about going retro? You know you prefer w7. And, you now know you can load W7 on an M-2! AMD Ryzen less expensive than Intel? I have no frame of reference.
scuzzy:
I still prefer W7 over 10, but I'll admit I have concerns that it's at the end of its life cycle for updates and support.
I have not had an AMD build in several years. From what I see, AMD has been pulling away from Intel in both performance and value. Still, I could easily change my mind in the next year or two.

I've been kind of considering the same thing. Currently running an i5-8400, which is fine. But the Ryzen 3700x on a 470x platform is very tempting. I wouldn't do the 570x personally, as your paying more only to gain PCIe 4.0, and then you have to deal with a southbridge chipset fan. ::)
Scuzzy, have you tried the latest 1903 Windows 10 along with Classic Shell configured to make the Start Menu work like Windows 7? Works quite well, IMHO.
scuzzy:
The Windows 10 interface isn't the problem. I have no issues navigating the interface, as I've been using it for several years now. What I don't like is some of the built-in behaviors, such as shoving updates down my throat.
Once in awhile after an update, some of my preferences get reset to whatever Microsoft thinks is best for me. For example, this morning I went to play an MP3 file, just to find out that Windows 10 reset the default program to Groove Music. I find this behavior despicable.
BTW: I fully agree on the southbridge chipset fan. That's the last thing I want to deal with.
