I am very happy with my 8 core/16 threads from AMD and paid so few last year with Black Friday. I just built a NAS solution for my backups this month, so Im kinda broke now, but if I had a cash I would expend some cash on at least 1 TB SSD (M.2 or NMVe) to store the projects Im working on, which I can always move later to a slow media once done with them. If you don’t have one, I would take the savings from the CPU and invest on one, it is a life saver to speed up the project load times and for package builds.
