The draft is pretty good. Only a few points to consider changing:
- That is an entry level Motherboard which may limit your upgrades in the future. It overheats with a 16 core ryzen 9.
- The ram size is good, but the speed and latencies are just as important nowadays. A 6000 MT/s CL30 Expo ram could improve CPU performance, but it’s a kind of OC so not every combination is fully stable at the highest speeds.
- Especially with competitive and indie games it’s easy to run them at high FPS. I would consider getting a 1440p high refresh rate (144+ Hz) monitor if you don’t have one already. It’s a huge upgrade coming from 1080p60Hz.
I don’t think it’s the scheduler this time with a single CCD, but there is significant difference. These tests focus on compute and productivity with almost no games, so most of the difference could come from this bias. Another possible option is the power profile (EPP balance_performance) holding back the 7700x on linux.
