Also these are some good looking cases too I think

Also remembered, thunderbolt 3 might be a reason to pick an Intel CPU and motherboard. So even if you don't buy anything now, for the sake of discussion, these are the reasons I can think of for choosing Intel and Nvidia instead of AMD equivalents. Thunderbolt 3 Quicksync for quick exports from Adobe Premiere Games in which you KNOW for sure 9900K is the fastest and nothing else bottlenecks it like the GPU or resolution, because even some single threaded or lightly threaded games now run equally or better on Ryzen 3000. You might have to check benchmarks. Some workload which uses AVX512 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Vector_Extensions#cite_note-26) The newest (for now) Ryzen CPUs on Zen 2 architecture have lower clocks, the same AVX256 support as Intel, higher IPC and higher power efficiency (lower consumption in watts), support PCIe 4.0 SSDs (only on X550 and X570 chipset motherboards though) and much lower cost so I think they make sense in every case outside the above scenarios. The NVENC encoding performance of the RTX 20 series and 16 series (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_NVENC#Sixth_generation,_Turing_TU10x/TU116) Real time ray tracing is not supported or implemented in enough games, same for their "DLSS 2.0" AI upscaling technique which runs games at lower resolutions but looks almost identical to higher resolutions. By the time these features get traction we should have cheaper and faster successors to these from both AMD and Nvidia due to upcoming next gen consoles ramping up adoption and hopefully increasing competition between Intel, Nvidia and AMD to bring PC components up to par and price with those.

I can't believe I forgot to mention, but it's probably best to wait out the current global shortage of supply and demand, otherwise we'll get gouged like in the cryptocurrency mining boom period, or when Samsung, Sk Hynix, and Micron were price fixing ram less than 2 years ago. I think it really is best to spend as less as possible until this crap subsides and consoles speed up ssd adoption and make cpus and especially gpus cheaper and faster. Maybe this years end, maybe early 2021 first quarter, we'll have to wait and see. But of course, you may be able to upgrade your current rig for cheap depending on what it is.

This may be getting long in the tooth, but you could check it out if you wanna, I just like their reviewing and benchmarking methodology.

I also want to wait till after the next, ninth console generation launch, so that hopefully we can have cheaper, better or both in terms of CPUs, GPUs and SSDs, although realistically, thats all that will get cheaper and more available because of console adoption rate in the millions. Actually, this is why I recommended getting something better value now, reselling it at a good rate 6-9 months later, and then we all can go all out at the candy store lol.

Which did you want? Is it an availability issue? This looks nice as well, and is really good for any liquid cooling setup!

Do you also care about the aesthetic of the case? Admittedly, the NZXT phantom does look appealing.

Not to question your own purchase, but could you elaborate? Is it because of high refresh competitive gaming or Quicksync for Adobe Premiere? I just thought that your 9900K won't be worth it without the RTX 2080 TI. (https://pcpartpicker.com/products/video-card/#sort=price&c=424) If you spend that much you may not care for the value and efficiency of the CPU and motherboard, naturally. Of course, I don't intend to argue, just discuss your build.

I forgot, benchmarks might be needed.

I think if you choose, a 3800x or 3700x, consequently B450 TOMAHAWK (https://pcpartpicker.com/product/jcYQzy/msi-b450-tomahawk-max-atx-am4-motherboard-b450-tomahawk-max) and a 5700 XT(https://pcpartpicker.com/product/3YTzK8/sapphire-radeon-rx-5700-xt-8-gb-pulse-video-card-11293-01-20g or https://pcpartpicker.com/product/ZZZzK8/powercolor-radeon-rx-5700-xt-8-gb-red-dragon-video-card-axrx-5700-xt-8gbd6-3dhroc) instead of 9900K, Z390 platform and the 2070S respectively, you can get a 2TB or greater NVME drive and still spend less and get about the same performance and a more upgradable socket, but let us know what you think, it is your system after all! (For example, for quicksync and NVENC video production tasks, your choice might be better, right?!)

Thanks guys, apparently these sets do speak for themselves but as it happens, where I come from (India), the prices for electronics skyrocket as a result of shipping and most importantly, heavy customs duties. These will easily shoot past the recommended prices in here One of the reasons I was so heavily supporting the sets that I mentioned was cause they seem to be dirt cheap on amazon (For 4K smart TVs at least). Check them out for yourselves if you'd like: https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00PG8W1MQ/ref=dp_olp_used_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=used https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00DG0977S/ref=dp_olp_used_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=used https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00DG097Q4/ref=olp_twister_child?ie=UTF8&mv_size_name=2 https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0198XNF6U/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=all They are no match for the ones you guys mentioned but the prices reflect their charm, as even after the import duties and what not their shear display size and cost would make for a great value. So do you think I could perhaps get a good second hand deal for these ( the KS8000, the M7000UWG 55" and the likes) online? Or is it inconceivable to get one of comparable size, low input lag, 4K res, HDR, and good all-round support and efficiency without breaking the bank, going above a $400 or $500 mark? I do realize this is asking a lot for this sort of price but evidently not impossible. What do you guys think, are these prices on amazon any good for an appreciably big 4K TV? Right now the lack of HDR due to being older than HDR10 itself is the only that's bugging me bout them. But of course their might be better deals from more reputable brands. I don't wish for a top tier product, just one that would fit all these criteria at a good price. I don't see any advantage of buying a TV so expensive that I've nothing left to spend on buying a console or a rig itself, cause those don't fall from the sky either Most importantly thank you for replying so quickly, really feels good for my first query.

An attempt to sort through the piles of ludicrously priced 4K HDR TVs for PS4 Pro as well as a future PC build. I have made a few selections but seek for a more experienced advice.This is my very first post (or any sort of activity whatsoever) on these forums. Please try to help me out. However, the list I have made is as follows:JVC DM65USRToshiba 65L9300USceptre U658CV-UMCAll seem to have a very low response time quite suitable for gaming and all are 65 Inches diagonally.However seeing as one of the selling points of the PS4 Pro is HDR10 High Dynamic Range imaging (Which seems to be more than a marketing gimmick with very impressive results in real time) and the JVC and Toshiba models mentioned above were released an year before (2014) HDR10 was announced (2015), I would like to know whether any of these supports HDR, because other than that these seem to be quite impressive. In case you have your own recommendations on a Smart Television model which is 4K, HDR supported, a big enough upgrade from my family's current 40 Inch (ish, a bit more) Full HD set from Samsung which is also Extremely satisfying, please feel free to tell me.Thank you in advance for any support. I would like to apologize if there's a problem with my thread (again, I'm new here). Please let me know, if so.
