I recently upgraded my 5 years old pc from i7 6700k to AMD 5900x, replacing only the cpu and motherboard.

Everything is so fast, saves a lot of time.

The rest of the spec: M.2 512MB SSD, 16G 2666M, a Das Keyboard and benq 2700u and a so so Nvidia 960 video card. A special mentioning is the fanless power supply, making the pc running absolutely silently.

Very happy with the setup. The 5 years old components may look a little under for the new CPU, but they are more than enough for coding.

For laptop, I own this OLED Lenovo Yoga X1 with 16GB RAM, can handle coding on the go. But I usually use it to remote into the main pc, it is a loving experience. Screen is beautiful.
