Hey guys, so I posted a very similar post to this one a few days ago, but the circumstances have changed. So, here is where I stand. I have a maximum budget of $800 firm to buy the full tower. I want to try the new Ryzen platform but am not partial to either team. What's the best I can get for 800? I do have free shipping for most sites so s$h is no problem. 

 

Thanks!

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

 

Do this:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Or this:

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Why the super-expensive low-quality mobo and only 4 cores for streaming? Really?

Sandisk SSDs are fine for budget builds.

Also should say Gigabyte RX-series AMD GPUs are bad, most older ones are OK

Reviews show it running hotter than other ones. It's not really worth it when you can get a cooler one for the same price :P

You can get better SSDs for the same price tho, so it's not really worth it.

 

The 300 series ones were also not great.

I've owned a AMD Gigabyte card and I had 0 issues, so i'll stick to it. Also the SSD has no problems, I owned one before.

Anecdotal. I've also owned one of those SSDs, upgraded to an 850 EVO and the Sandisk one is absolute trash in comparison. Gigabyte AMD GPUs aew well known to be poor quality, especially with Polaris.

There's the T500. I can't find reviews for it but it can't be worse, can it? :P

 

The SL308 is $80. I feel like the SSD Plus is a bit cheaper than it normally is as well due to how weird the exact pricing is (it's not .99 or something).
