  1. Informative
    Lucky Me got a reaction from brob in My New Rig, part II   
    Update:
     
    Bought the LG 34GK950F-B. Good reviews.
     
    Another issue I came across... Not enough USB 3.0 connectors for the multi-card reader, bought the Startech.com 3,5" internal USB 3.0 memory card reader instead of the Silverstone one.
     
    Solved the problem with this PCI Express card.

    Lucky Me got a reaction from Herman Mcpootis in My New Rig, part II   
    CPU, Cooler, and motherboard: fail.... it is not intel (like I said in the first post)
    Storage: WTF why do I need two 5400rpm HDD, are you crazy? The first 2 I'll look into it and maybe swab it. (I don't use RAID, not sure why, but I just don't)
    Monitor? hell no. Did you compare the 2 with each other?
    Case: Nope. it doesn't support a 5.25" bay. I need space for burner and card reader. (and I love the look of the R6)
    Memory: Yes, not sure to take up an even higher speed DDR4-3200.
     
    Don't talk about cheaper because it is not. If you use your setup with my monitor choice? your $22,50 more, that's not cheaper ?
     
    Editing (photos/ videos) and World of Tanks are my things.

    Just as it's too early to say how good or bad Ryzen will be, 4 months could be too early for you to say you don't want it. If Ryzen comes out cheaper and on par or better than the 9900K would you stick with 9900K for Intel's brand loyalty or pay less for something equivalent or better? Obviously, if Ryzen isn't as good, then don't go for it. But it's too early to say Ryzen will be an Intel 9900K killer just as it's too early to say it won't.
     
    So why not buy a newer processor if it's cheaper and better/same? The 9900K is currently about $480 USD+, plus the cost of the MB. AMD boards generally cost less, and even if the processor is $400, it's $80 cheaper plus cost of the MB. Too many variables to say anything about pricing or performance.
     
    ...That is unless there would be a reason to stick with Intel over AMD if AMD offered something cheaper and competitive. My 2 cents, so I'll shush now.
