Total at the time of topic crearion would cost about $1200. Since it'd go in the living room it'd only be doing 1080p gaming so the gpu should handle most if not all games you throw at it. --- The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood.

Either way, upgrading to a B550 is stupid at this point if you're not intent on getting a 4000 series AMD chip. --- Face it Cloud is a gaming icon and has appered in lots of games while mario has only appeared in 2 games sunshine and 64~xSlashbomBx <cite>Alucard188 posted [p:941345514] in R/F this b...

FabIemaster 06/27/20 3:09:35 PM #4:	Yeah there aren't any mini-b550s I'd want to spend the extra cash on without getting a 4000-series Ryzen 5. And I'd stick that in my main PC before I'd use it on the backup. --- The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood.

If you have an x470 or x570 board already, you should be good to go barring any snags with beta BIOS updates on 400 series mobos. They haven't announced when they're moving on from AM4, but I imagine it will tie into the timeline when DDR5 is ready for use. --- Face it Cloud is a gaming icon and has appered in lots of games while mario has only appeared in 2 games sunshine and 64~xSlashbomBx <cite>Alucard188 posted [p:941345892] in R/F this b...

Alucard188 06/27/20 3:25:08 PM #9:	Mezcla posted... <_< >_> ~~350~~ Well, I'd say stick with what you have and do a full system build when they announced the next series of CPUs. Chances are it'll still be AM4 platform. You're missing significant power delivery architecture from the 400 or 500 series motherboards, but nothing that makes it absolutely dire to upgrade from what you owe currently have. --- Face it Cloud is a gaming icon and has appered in lots of games while mario has only appeared in 2 games sunshine and 64~xSlashbomBx <cite>Alucard188 posted [p:941346199] in R/F this b...

Alucard188 06/27/20 3:31:51 PM #11:	I Like Toast posted... Don't buy a high end GPU when new ones are about to be announced Also a wise choice, but the 2060 is hardly a high-end GPU. OP is targeting 1080 gaming, which the 2060 can handle with relative impunity. --- Face it Cloud is a gaming icon and has appered in lots of games while mario has only appeared in 2 games sunshine and 64~xSlashbomBx <cite>Alucard188 posted [p:941346471] in R/F this b...

FabIemaster 06/27/20 3:41:38 PM #12:	Yeah this is really going to be a 2nd PC for the living room that'll be used to play horror/indie games on steam with my wife and *maybe* dabble in VR if it can handle it.
