Yup. Last AMD CPU was a dual core Athlon, I guess around 20 years ago. All good so far, although it does seem to run a little hot. CPU heatsink mounting was an absolute pig with stupid clip things so not sure what state the thermal paste might have ended up in.
Case is a CM NR200P Max - Max being the version with preinstalled PSU and cooler. In hindsight am really glad I went with the easy option rather than starting from scratch.
Was worried it might have given me buyer's remorse but it's really nice to plonk myself on the sofa on an evening rather than going back to my desk.
I ended up going with ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II instead of a normal heatsink. Runs ~75c under heavy load (gaming), and idles around 44c. This is a Ryzen 9 - 5900x (with AMD auto-overclocking enabled, and fans running in "silent" mode, but man they ramp up when needed!)
