Janocte got a reaction from BlackDragon1971 in Thoughts on a new build
Spent some time watching vids and reading last evening. I believe im sold on the 7800X3D and an accompanying 4070.
Thanks to all of you for your thoughts and assistance!

Janocte reacted to TheBean in Motherboard comparison
x570 boards are usually higher quality components so if you are buying a higher end CPU then buying a higher end motherboard will be better because they will have better power delivery components and heat dissipation on the VRM and MOSFETS. so if you are buying the 5600x then b550 is fine. if you are buying 5900x then x570 is better but b550 will still work

Basically it depends on how much money you want to drop. X570 is more flexible, but it’s more flexible because it’s better at taking expansion cards. Expansion cards cost money. If you’re willing to drop $400+ on a motherboard x570 starts to be a better long term board than b550. If you’re not though you can get newer ports on a b550 for less money.

Well I simply chose better value options so you could fit a 5900x in there while not compromising on the actual components
The 5900x is worth the extra imo. 50% more cores and threads

Janocte got a reaction from Mr alex in New Gaming mouse?
Thanks for posting! Are you primarily doing FPS gaming or Moba/MMO gaming? The Corsair M65 Pro is terrific for the FPS gamer, however if your playing moba/MMO games I would say that the addt'l buttons and the wireless connectivity on the G602 would be preferable.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for posting. I would recommend that you look at the Rival 500 and the G602. Both have a very intuitive button design, for MMO's/Moba's.
The Rival 500 is about $80 US and has 15 programmable buttons

The Logitech G602 is $40, is wireless, but only has 11 programmable buttons
