Ryzen 9 - 16 Core v 12 Core?
I am looking at building a computer with a Ryzen 9. I was going with the 7900X CPU, but was reading about the 5950X. I know the 5950X is older, but has 16 cores v 12. The 7900X uses DDR5, which I strongly prefer. I welcome the thoughts of those who have more experience and knowledge than do I. I am a noob at building.

Are Gen5 NVMEs worth the impact to the GPU?
I'm starting a new build with a 4090 on a MOBO with an on board PCIe 5 M.2 slot. I'd like to use a Gen5 NVME but I understand there's an impact to the speed of the GPU. The main use of the machine will be gaming. Will the impact to the GPU be worth the performance of the NVME? Thanks.
