Ended up going with the ryzen 5 2600x paired with a msi 450b tomahawk board.
I'm hoping this will be more than sufficient for my current a near future needs.
I'm stoked to get started this weekend.
But hear me out, I don't play a lot of high end games.
Usually prices drop when there's a new generation out, I'd have waited until then.
The whole reason I needed this upgrade was to play Doom 2016 [...] I do plan on playing borderlands 3
In most games the bottleneck is the GPU, you could have moved it to a new system later

I already bought replaced my GPU to an RX 580.
It was the 5 year old CPU and the lack of upgrading options on the mobo that facilitated this upgrade.

One of us had a stroke half way through that second statement.

I do plan on playing borderlands 3 and the newest doom when they're released. But I'm also quite content playing old fallout or even command and conquer.
Perhaps my preferences will change once I get a taste of high end gaming.
But until then I can do more research on exactly what I want and build confidence in actually building computers. Hell, I got a couple fortnight specials kicking around I could make a few 100 off of.
