Hello everyone!

This is the build I'd like to try. Please, let me know if you think any of these components are critical:

CPU (I know, it's not out yet) AMD Ryzen 5900X (12c)
GPU (same here but at least I know drivers are in Big Sur) AMD 6900XT 16GB
Motherboard Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS ATX AM4 Motherboard (no Wifi)
RAM Corsair CMK32GX4M2D3200C16 Vengeance LPX 32 GB 3200 MHz C16
SSDs (NVMe) Seagate Firecuda 510 2TB (macOS) + WD Blue SN550 1TB (Windows)
Networking & Wireless Fenvi T919 BCM94360CD WiFi 5 & BT 4

Thank you!!

We have no way of telling if the new Ryzen CPUs will work with our current patches or if it'll require a complete update. Only time will tell with them.

At least on the CPU side you can create a patch, the other question is if/when will support for Navi 2x be added to macOS.

How do you know that drivers for unknown future card are already in Big Sur?

Card in RX5000 series do have drivers because Apple is using those cards in their own machines. Nothing guarantees the same will happen with 6000 series although I expect Apple to use some of those cards in iMac Pro / Mac Pro refreshes in the next year or so.

For an immediate build, I wouldn't plan for them.

Navi 21 and 22 driver references have already been spotted in Big Sur beta.

AMD’s next-gen Navi 31 references have been spotted in Apple macOS 11’s “Big Sur” OS

Some references to the AMD’s upcoming BIG NAVI 31 GPU have been spotted in the latest ‘macOS 11’ GPU drivers which sort of confirms the existence of an even bigger/powerful NAVI GPU

Watch closely and there are references not only for Navi 31 (which they might be testing a prototype for a future Mac Pro) but also Navi 21.

References can be anything from placeholder to a driver. There are references to to Zen APUs too. Apple can test things internally without ever releasing it. Until a Mac is announced with said GPU there is no guarantee it will work. It might already but I‘d wait until someone confirms it.
