Both your statements are true. Re Intel's upgrade path.. I'm still rocking a 4th gen i7. I'v never been one of those people to upgrade a GPU / CPU every 1-2 generations. I just can't justify the performance "gain" for the $ outlay. That said, historically Intel have always paid for themselves long term, much like nVidia. There just seems to me more "quality engineering" / oomph under the hood, atleast in my experience.Intels upgrade path is always dam expensive, AMD on their 3rd gen yet can still use a 1st gen board its just swopping out of cpus thats basically it
Its possible but keep in mind that in SA, AMD have a tiny tiny marketshare VS Intel. Less sales volume = less discounts passed onto the consumer. Just wait til BF, I'm sure these new AMD , and quite possibly current Intel CPU's / combo's will be going for a good 20-30% cheaper than they are are, partly due to BF & part due to renewed competition.Clearly, local sellers are matching the prices because they can, not because AMD is supposed to be cheaper.
Does anyone here actually watch Linus. So annoying !
I see the i7 9700F is out . Around R 6k . Looks like a decent Intel option
Intel Core i7-9700F. Suppliers have stock I see.
True . Ok it's R 5950 . Every little bit helps . Plenty fast . A nice option for a B365 boardAnd a few hundred more at retail u can buy a 9700k hey
This is what ima do 3800x in x370 asrock fatality board also supports it just need to do the bios update 😁😁😛Was nice to see that I can drop in the 3600/3700/3800/x CPUs in my asus prime x370 pro mobo. Its got official support so no need to buy a new mobo. I just think its cool to be able to swap out the CPU and nothing else, meanwhile with Intel....
Shame about the price for the new stuff though,and I cant even sell my 2600 since they are almost R2000 cheaper brand new at the moment.

Ill also say to be safe the top section of that list, the others might support it but not to its full potentialWe need a tier list of motherboards that show which have the best VRMs.
Saying that an A320 motherboard can run Ryzen 3000 series, is like saying a canoe can pull a water skier.

One thing u never do is buy anything end of the year you will pay up to double the price festive and all that. Wait for those January promotions.I'm really looking to upgrade end of the year so hopefully prices might slide a bit then. I've never had anything other than Intel + Nvidia for the last 15 years. Ryzen looks good on paper but really not sure if I must change. Still rocking an Intel i7 2600K so it going to be a full upgrade.
And idgaf about grammer or spelling lol you know what im trying to say
Take an Intel CPU that competes with an AMD CPU you have in mind on an equal level, do the full kit pricing wise. The fastest way to make up your mind.Lol, yeah no problem I understand, well a few years ago I wouldn't of even thought of AMD, but recently I have been considering it which is progress. I'm looking at the 3700X, and a fairly decent motherboard. Maybe there will be good prices Black Friday as well. I am definitely thinking of making the move considering all I do on my PC is basically game.
So to be really safe any high end X370 or X470 board will work, any B or A series board will need to be triple checked
Well it was kind of a rhetorical question as with 8,7 Million subscribers , I guess plenty of people are watching. Lots of people watch Taylor Swift too .
Will stick to GN or Hardware Unboxed or anyone else for that matter.
You said it. Plenty of YouTubers who have a hoard of followers who would blindly defend them to their deaths. To be fair, LTT are pretty good and Linus is respectable in the way he critiques and doesn't step on eggshells at risk of upsetting partnerships/sponsors. Production quality is pretty good, and he's getting his team to host more frequently now instead of just him. Anthony is pretty good.
