Replace your wife, that is currently the only thing holding back my desired PC upgrade!!
Last time checking before I place my order; do I trust the PCPartPicker compatibility list, or should I trust the VML pdf list on the gigabite site?
I'm looking at the Gigabyte B550 AORUS PRO atm (scored high on the "VRM quality benchmark"), PP shows the Ballistix DDR4 2x8GB 3600 BL2K8G36C16U4B as compatible, but the QVL on the Gigabyte website doesnt have it included there so that puts me in doubt.
Thanks again!

Placed the order Delivery time still unsure since the 5800X sold out in the Netherlands. It says November 17th but that's probably a placeholder date.
Once all the parts are delivered I'll do a pre/post benchmark and post it here. Again when the 6800XT arrives.
Thanks again for helping me pick the parts.
Since your gaming at 1080p, Get a 3070 or the new AMD card.
I did the same myself recently (Check Sig) and you will see a performance gain. You are using Cross-Fire (SLI) that is honestly dead as a doornail and was never all that great. That IMO that where you will see a nice performance Jump.
You (like myself) will sooner or later need a new MOBO,CPU,RAM but until then just get a new GPU. I would not spend more than the cost of a 3070/6800XT.

My Gaming PC: MSI Trident 3 - i7-10700F - RTX 4060 8GB - 32GB DDR4 - 1TB M.2SSD
Took a few weeks but my 5800X order came in at the retailer, scheduled to be delivered to my place tomorrow.
Now the waiting game for an aftermarket RX6800XT begins.
So after 8 MONTHS I've now finally completed my build. Not with the intended RX 6800 XT but with a RX 6900 XT instead. Actually managed to get the 69 for the same price as the 68 in I had in order for all those months. So nothing bad about that :-)
Still working on the OC, but having good results so far:
