Skimming through watchcount looks like Ryzen 1600 go from about $60 to $100 and I5 7600k from about $100 to $189 (WTF?lol) with most 7600k above $145 and most 1600 under $95.

What you're saying makes sense and is true but I think there is more to it. Because even the I5's hold value well from what I can see. Lets include the fact that Intel CPU's are rarely discounted even when replaced by next gen and are more sought after (higher demand). Plus most Intel CPUs...

Some people care about resale value of their CPU and some don't. Intel in my experience holds better value. Even the lower end Intel's hold value well. I always sell my old computer parts and last month parted out my wife's computer since she no longer needs it for work. Bought the I7 7700k for...

If it's for gaming I would say another good option would be I5-9400F that cost $150. Then get a budget or used Z390 or Z370 board. The Gigabyte Z390 UD can be found on sale new for $99 sometimes. So for gaming I would say 9400F is in that $200 value category you mention.

Wasn't the point I was trying to make. AMD should easily last 4+ years. My point was the upgrade path advantage of AM4 didn't matter to me. PCIe 4.0 could very well be an advantage later. Depends if future graphics cards actually use more bandwidth than PCIe 3.0 16x can handle. From what I read...

For me it was simple. The most demanding thing I do with my computer is game. So I skipped to the gaming benchmarks. After reading and watching many reviews it was clear to go Intel this round for gaming. I was hoping to build an AMD computer this time but it didn't make sense. If I build a new...

I recently got the Z390 Aorus Master from Newegg Ebay. It was 20% off otherwise I would have gotten the Aorus Ultra. So far I really like the board. Some reviews said the bios is difficult but I don't find that to be the case at all. I really like that I can run my graphics card AIO fan from the...

Samsung had crappy 4K bluray players anyways... same with LG. I will still buy and enjoy UHD bluray. It's just better when you have a 7.2 surround and 75'' TV.

So you destroy the competition by selling everything fast and cheap... then decide you don't want to sell low cost items fast and cheap because now you're better than that? OK cool.

RIP CS:GO you had a good run...

So judges can be replaced by A.I. too? sentenced to death by A.I... :vomit:

First off most of the boxes (equipment) are total slow POS and considering what Aris, Pace, Motorola, etc... are charging for these units the TV companies are getting ripped off as well. A Roku running the spectrum app is 10x faster and pays for it's self in 6 months (less or more depending on...

Thanks. I picked up Tyranny - Overload Edition.

I had an Alienware PC back in 2000. It broke shorty after I got it and encouraged me to build my own PC. Thanks Alienware! I still have the case.

Seems like a kick ass CPU to me. It's the best desktop CPU and they are pricing it that way. I'm actually impressed what they have been able to do on 14mn. For those that wanted high clocks, great IPC, AND 8 cores... here it is.
