I'm holding out for AMD as well. I've never built a PC before. I started researching parts for a possible build. My immediate thought was intel because all the laptops I owned were intel. Then I saw Ryzen was coming out so I waited. 8 core 16 thread was a dream. I decided to wait for it and a mITX board to go with it. I knew I didn't want a huge tower but couldn't find a SFF case I liked other than the Fractal Node 202. I eventually found the Sentry and am super pumped to finally get it in my hands. I set the difficulty high for my first ever build going with SFF, but everyone who reviewed the Sentry said the instructions are legit. That sealed the deal for me. As for GPU, 1080 was going to be it until I saw Vega was coming out. Now I'm waiting on Vega before I go with that or a 1080(TI).That's a good point. It was based off of TDP, but I'll wait to see what people with the Frontier Edition say. I have everything but the ASRock motherboard, two more SSDs, and obviously the GPU. I'm really pulling for AMD, so I hope the wait is worth it. I'm expecting better than 1080 performance, but I'm not convinced it'll be better than a Ti. Hopefully around the same level of performance. Plus, the deal they made with Bethesda is great since they make my favorite games.
