[WoW Classic]PC Upgrades for new 8-man team

I'd second the 3900x, though I would watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuyuS04lD4o before you stick with the x470 chipset. I went with a MSI MEG X570 ACE and couldn't be happier. System has been rock solid, and with an all-core 4.2GHz OC and undervolt, it performs well and doesn't run too hot. Also, some other options with regards to coolers in case supply issues limit your choices: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LA_qVVhvZaY and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPaSEGe6ML0

[edit] Just saw you'd ordered the 3900x. Congrats!

I recently upgraded to a 3900X and I love it. I am using the Gigabyte x570 Aorus Ultra, but I initially had the ASUS TUF which I liked as well (just did not do some things I needed, my son is getting upgraded with that board.) To see VRAM usage I use the free utility GPU-Z from TechPowerUp. If you open the second tab it will give you a full rundown of your video cards temps, usage, fan speed, etc. I usually am between 6-7Gb of VRAM used for 5 clients. I went from a 1080Ti to a 2080Ti in the same upgrade and while it was not a huge jump I could tell it was smoother. But both cards have 11Gb of RAM so this is likely an area you might be able to save in.
