i honestly was never thinking of it, been a strong supporter of intel and nvidia, never considered amd; untill linus uploaded the video of the budget gaming pc and chose and amd processor. If it was good enough for him to recommend i thought i would look at them. From what i've read about it, it has great performance for the price and is cheaper than an intel version. Since you don't i think i should, could you give me a couple reasons why i shouldn't consider amd. Thank you
