Been slowly upgrading a prebuilt from 2009. I’ve upgraded everything but the mobo, ram, cpu, and cooler. Was hoping someone could do a sanity check on my build to make sure it’s good for a few years at least.

In that case you may want to consider dropping down on cpu to get a better graphics card. His $850ish build will probably serve you better than going up on CPU and ram UNLESS you plan on putting funds aside for a GPU upgrade soonish.
That said, I would say an NVME drive will boost you quite a lot simply due to the read write speeds compared to a sata SSD. It will be noticeable.
I’m having trouble deciding between the msi mag b650 tomahawk wifi and the msi pro b650p wifi for my mobo. Anything advice?
Just saw this, sorry for late reply.
I’d go with the tomahawk as it’s a solid board and usually recommended from what I’ve seen. Both are fine motherboards, but the tomahawk seems to be a little more “premium” compared to the b650-p WiFi. Also for a x3D CPU the tomahawk will offer a little more “power” and take better advantage of it.
