| Topic | There's too many numbers when looking to buy a cpu.... |
| Judgmenl 11/30/17 1:31:27 PM #20: | I would never recommend anyone buy anything but the latest generation of hardware. Intel definitely stagnated over the past 7 years but with the release of Coffee Lake these 4-core SKUs are going to get phased out pretty fast. I would really appreciate if TC was more forward with what he was doing. If he's upgrading a Haswell system he could probably grab a used 4790k on the cheap. The only positive is that with RAM prices the way they are, getting DDR3 not a terrible idea. But if he's trying to build a PC with a $500-$600 budget, getting a Ryzen 3 system is probably much better in the long run. GPUs haven't made any progress because Nvidia does a ~20 month release cycle of hardware. Expect new GPU announcements around CES. --- Judge, Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. | http://hwbot.org/user/secretdragoon/ You're a regular Jack Kerouac ... Copied to Clipboard! |
