9900 aint worth $440
What software are you using?
Thanks for the feedback. Basically just the Adobe suite. I think the most CPU intensive job is probably editing massive composite photos which I'm having a lot of trouble with on my i5 haswell.
This is going to be much faster:

Amazing, really appreciate it. Thanks!
Sorry, can you answer one more question. The BIOS update warning says that you might need a different CPU to perform the actual update. Can you comment on this at all? Also, would downgrading to the Ryzen 7 3800x change the performance or your opinion of the build much? It's about $200 cheaper in Canada and easier to come by it seems. Thanks
Dont need to worry about it. All the MSI MAX boards are pre-updated.
pcpartpicker just puts a blanket warning on all B450 boards, regardless if its not needed for some boards.
By a decent margin, yeah. You go down from 12 to 8 cores. But if you're going down from 12 to 8, you may aswell go for the 3700X
