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.
