yeah drives are the one of the only things you can carry on into your new computers without any problems whatsoever (aside from driver issues, you should uninstall all the previous drivers or you could run into conflicts)

it's a bit expensive but a really good 5700xt nonetheless

Why shouldn't you? There's not much difference between ssd performance in normal tasks anyways

Then you'll be fine. Check if you'd be better off with a 2070S or a 5700 XT, the 2070 is eol and inferior to these two in terms of performance

It wouldn't be a bottleneck, but you should also consider a 5700 xt and then make your choice. What's the power supply model?

It's unlikely you're getting bottlenecked by the 8600k, they're pretty balanced out. For just gaming, you really don't need to go higher than an 8700k or a 9700k

He already has an a 8600k so he's already got the motherboard, it would cost more to get a cpu and a motherboard that perform the same than to actually upgrade his cpu

I mean, it gets 60 fps in 720p low, and gta v is a pretty light game, due to its age and optimization. It ran on even an am1 apu. Besides, he's pairing it with a significantly faster cpu than the q6600. However i mostly agree with what you wrote after

Well, look at the reviews online and check for yourself if the difference is worth 200+ dollars or not. The extra threads are worth it for multitasking, not that much for gaming only, but it's only a matter of time until it'll become more relevant in that too

You're gonna get it paired with a 1060 6gb and are planning to use it for its multithreading performance? Definitely get a Ryzen 7 3700x then, it's 200 dollars less than the 9900k, has on par multithreaded performance and runs much cooler, so you can get a cheaper cooler, or just leave the stock one on. And then pair it with a good low end x570 board, like the asus prime model

i think they already solved the thermal problems of the thicc 2 by modifying the cooler

Furthermore, isn't the Asus Tuf model one of the absolute worst models?

Hate to break it to ya, but Intel isn't probably going to blow amd out of the water anytime soon, since they cancelled the 10nm projects on desktop and are going to move directly to 7nm in like 2021-2022. On the other hand, Amd is going to release 4th gen ryzen next year with an even better zen 3 architecture, so there's that Edit: Apparently they didn't cancel the 10nm skus, but the next generation is still going to be on 14 nm and on a new socket, they're probably going to be nuclear reactors and not bring much in terms of gaming performance in the high end of the market

For gaming i think a 740 isn't fit for really anything. Don't know about really light old games though,but you could save the money you'd spend on a trashy power supply and get a 1050ti, that's probably going to be fine regardless of the psu

Instead of the 3500 i'd actually get a 2600x if you're on a budget. It's not far from the 3600 in terms of performance and features hypertreading

Oh, i thought you were referring to the change amd made between x399 and the new chipset for threadripper 3000

use cpu z

1151 and TR4 are mechanically identical? I have some doubts

Already? That's crazy fast

For a hundred bucks? Idk man, you could probably get it for cheaper and it wouldn't delay a further upgrade for much

Getting them for crossfire is pretty stupid. However, 165 for two cards is a pretty good price. You could always sell one later

How are you supposed to sell a dead old card though
