  1. Any reason for Ryzen 9 instead of Threadripper? Except for all of the nice new things that come with the 3rd gen ryzen ness of it?
  2. So, my mom is starting a new job soon and she has negotiated a new computer as part of her hire. She does alot of data crunching as part of her job and as "money is no object" her words,not mine. I want to make sureshe gets a machine that will do what she needs. She mostly uses Access and SQL Server Management Studio and probably other Data Analysis Programs that I don't know about. Bascially my question is, does she need any "workstation" perks that come with Xeon or Server esq parts like ECC memory or RDMA or will a i7/i9 with enough RAM and a big SSD be sufficient. They have a main sever, but I wouldn't bet on 10 gig support, so she doesn't need a large Hard Drive for anything.
  3. Even if I want to experiment with overclocking? And isn't there some sort of frequency Turner on the X. I've definitely thought about getting the 1600 but I've always gone back to the 1600x. I'll definitely do more research but if I do end up getting just the 1600 I'll be able to drop to a lower mother board too. One that doesn't support overclocking?
  4. Aren't they going to be more expensive though? I was basically sold on the ryzen until I saw that 6th gen i5's were about $70 cheaper.
  5. From what I see it seems that they are very similar with each having better performance in certain games while the ryzen uses less percentage of the CPU but runs hotter. Is it safe to assume that AMD will optimize the ryzen performance in the coming months with bios updates and stuff or is that a silly assumption?
  6. I'm aware, that's another reason I have to change basically everything!
  7. I'm looking to upgrade my entry level PC but unfortunately when I first bought it my knowledge was rather low so once I upgraded the graphics card (about a year ago) I ran out of individual things to do. I have an AMD FX-6300 on some music board and random DDR4 ram with a 450w power supply. This set up doesn't really allow for upgradability anymore. So here's my delima; do I go for a ryzen 5 1600x for $230 or get a i5-6600k for $164? Basically everything else stays the same, motherboards, LG1151 vs AM4, I would get would both be about $100, DDR4 ram would be about $120, I would get the same mid\full tower case and samish 600W ish power supply. Do you think, in your opinion, a ryzen based computer or an Intel based computer would be the best for the money and allow for the best path for upgradability.
