Hey guys

i was wondering what would be better to do.

im going to upgrade my pc from old i5 750 to Ryzen 5

but my plan was to go for the 5 2600 in the vacation 23februari - 3 March but zen2 is coming out March/April so what is better to do cuz i want it for around the same price and I’d prefer not a long time wait

If you could stomach it, that is rather close to the expected wait so there should be more opportune pricing. My suggestion is to watch prices around that time, AMD dropped first gen Ryzen prices when second gen came out so third gen coming out ought to make second gen become cheaper as well. Something to consider.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I thought zen2 was to be released "mid 2019" in Q2 or Q3?  This could be anywhere from april 1st to September 30th. It's all up to you and how long you want to wait.
