    i7 is also better for lightly threaded work like photo editing and word processing.
     
    Ryzen may seem a better option. But it only is if there is room in the budget for a gpu.
     
    @dazza555, something like the following non-overclocking system will provide a powerful initial setup needing just a good gpu for gaming.

    The entire Masterkeys Pro series (including the RGB options) can be and you can still change the colors, effects, etc. On it. Just not a vast amount of color effects without drivers.

    Seems like you are complaining about how the combos are a bad option.  
     
    Also,  wut! How can you use a VEGA card and not need more than r3?

    Well if you can grab 600-400$ with 200$ off then it could be really great deal. But I doubt minitors like that will be included in that deal

    Apparenty, there's been a benchmark leak http://www.tweaktown.com/news/58635/amd-radeon-rx-vega-56-leaked-benchmarks-gtx-1070-killer/index.html, and given the results, I'd say vega, especially with the 1070's price up due to mining

    I mean, it's not like Vega has some specialised hardware/instruction sets for mining, right? right?
     
    Wrong.

    ChackoM reacted to SlaughterSmurf in Is Vega worth it?   
    We're like what, 5 hours from launch? We'll see tonight! If I had to guess it will be exactly as worth it as Nvidia cards are. Since I've been in the PC space (2013) graphics cards perform nearly identically from a price:performance standpoint within any given price bracket. Therefore just buy whatever supports the technologies you want, and whichever one looks cooler, and whichever one performs the best in the games you play. HOWEVER we'll know all of this by thiis time tomorrow, so remain patient brother.

    I'm happy about the Vega 56, for only $400 it's a pretty sweet deal. I honestly love the design, but the packs are mostly designed for those going for a 64 edition. Oh well, let's see the benchmarks and reviews first, but I'm excited for AMD

    If you're compiling any programs on a regular basis that run over 8 GB RAM than 16, otherwise 8 is sufficient. As for Vega, it's a pretty safe bet that Vega 56 will be around 1070 level avg FPS but with significantly tighter frametimes. However the reference boards won't be out till Aug 31st on that, let alone any of the more advanced cards.

    -You're locked to the 1700X and 1800X.
    -You're locked to three expensive X370 motherboards.
    -You're locked to one specific Samsung FreeSync monitor.
     
    Kinda seems to be a bad deal IMO.

    No it's with a certain kind of monitor, I think the CF791 series, that currently only has one model.
    The package descriptions contradict themselves on some Points, as already mentioned with the 1800x and 1700x. I guess we'd have to wait.
