So since intel is discontinuing skylake we should be seeing some sweet deals on those processors in the near future (maybe I'll finally get that 6700k I've wanted but didn't want a ramen diet to get it)

Could be signs of the times boys Coffee Lake is full steam ahead... But seriously though... What took Intel soo long to discontinue skylake ?

Don't buy intel shit when you have great and competitive AMD processors.

I'd love to upgrade CPU to Ryzen for more cores (and threads) but I want to stretch out investment a little bit longer cos money is a thing.

 

Platform upgrades are pretty significant imho and I'll probably wait until 2019/2020 for a platform upgrade.

Agreed to that.

I stuck with a Phenom II till a few months ago just cause the price of DDR4 along with the new CPU and Motherboard would have been easily +$400.

 

But that chip was really showing its age.

I seriously was probably gonna use that CPU for 10 years if Ryzen wasnt any good and if I didnt somehow get a good deal on Ram.

I said it was the US version, read my reply. If you pay $100 more you do get the touchscreen and fingerprint sensor. I'm confused...

I wonder if you could just undervolt & underclock a ryzen 5 or 7 for some pretty impressive results

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

This item does not ship to where I live. 

 

Us version = same model as in America to me. Using a .com when a .ca is something you never do here. Doesn't fucking work here. 

 

why you people no get THAT ITS NOT THE SAME

@themctipers Maybe stop trying to buy computers with Monopoly money.

Monopoly money is significantly more valuable at this point.

No, that's why the people that (were dumb enough to) give you a plastic card back up said plastic card with Monopoly money.

No, the financial institution actually pays the price of the item, and then, in return, has you pay them it or they find you and take back the item.

 

So basically, it's backed by justifiable extortion.

1)Why do you have 1080p 60 Hz monitor and a 1070?

2)Your monitor is the main bottleneck, you should be fine even with a Pentium (unless you multitask or do something other than gaming).
