Hey everyone from Australia,

 

I was just browsing and I noticed Centrecom in Australia have close to $1200 off an i7 6950x until the 29th of May.

 

Here is the link - https://www.centrecom.com.au/i7-6950x-30ghz-to-35ghz-deca-core

What's better than this processor? Nothing except 4960X (I like that haswell)

"Make it future proof for some years at least, don't buy "only slightly better" stuff that gets outdated 1 year, that's throwing money away" @pipoawas

 

-Frequencies DON'T represent everything and in many cases that is true (referring to Individual CPU Clocks).

 

Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later

Spoiler

My head on 2019 :

Note 10, S10, Samsung becomes Apple, Zen 2, 3700X, Renegade X lol

Still overpriced. I could buy nearly three 1800X's at this price point.

GPU: XFX RX 7900 XTX

CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D

We're talking about Australian rupees here.

 

While you could by an 1800X and with no doubt it would be better value, there are still advantages to going with a Broadwell-E CPU (PCIe lanes, etc).

 

Not hating, I live in Australia and run an R7 1700 myself.

If I've said something wrong, please correct me
