then just switch to intel dont waste money on ryzen 2 its not worth it then

it will be 250-300$ more to do that for minimal performance gain

Yes but if you wait and switch you will have to buy a ryzen cpu, which will be at least $80. So either spend $80 now and $300 later or just spend the $300 now.

 

Or don't change to intel at all. Why do you want to so badly? A ryzen 3000 + motherboard will be cheaper for similar performance.

Thats an option too, im not really set on switching over its just that right now the blue side has faster high end chips, but, ryzen 3 Im thinking will be very impressive

thats the issue with ryzen 2 its basically old base level x99 performance from intel without 4 channel ram support. for $250 for the board and a 6 core i7 that is still better than ryzen  and be able to run up to 22 cores on unlocked xeon if you want and go against current threadripper on the same board. idk i see 2*** ryzen as pointless now with zen 2 coming out in 3 months.

could also go for a 12 core threadripper for about 550 with the board and cpu

so same price as intel now for that also if you know how to shop for it its actually cheaper to go unlocked xeon and x99 and same perormance as threadripper on the used market its why AMD made this stuff so cheap they had to to kill the argument that used intel is better and cheaper.

Im talking brand new threadripper board for 300 and a brand new chip for 300 on amazon

thats cool but its not worth it to me that its new if its not better or cheaper than the used options.its that cheap because they had to or it wouldn't be worth it is my opinion. but i refurbish parts myself as a hobby so im bias against new parts that will be worth half their value in 6 months.
