Should I buy it or not?

[MaktimS]

Hey guys

I am going to build a PC on Ryzen 2 once Turing cards come out. My original plan was to get Ryzen 2600X, pair it with a B450 board and then buy an air cooler. However, yesterday X470 boards came out and with them I found some interesting deals. Many retailers here in my country will give you a free 240mm MasterLiquid RGB AiO cooler if you buy a X470 mobo from Asus. Now, my question is: Should I buy the board now, get a free AiO with it and then build the rest after the GPUs come out OR pass on this absolutely awesome deal and build the PC sometime in September as the original plan was?

Before you just tell me to wait, think about it again, this is X470 board, I was going to buy B450 and I would get a free AiO, not just an air cooler.

On the other hand, all X470 boards are completly new and the platform hasn't matured yet, they could have some small flaws to them.
So, what do you think: should I buy the board now or not?

I wouldn't buy anything yet, Coffee Lake 8 core and rumoured 2800X are incoming along with Z390 boards

I think that 2800X and Coffe Lake 8 core are both a bit out of my budget.

I am planning to buy an 11 series GTX GPU once they come out. Probably something like GTX 1160, I am not in a hurry.

okay I would keep that momeys where the miners are not then also pre order them before the price skyrockets

This looks like an awesome deal, but in theory. How much are the motherboards overmarked compared to the x370 boards?

IF they cost 100 dollars more then you are just paying for the aio at that point, making the deal pointless.

The difference is like 30 € or less

Coffee Lake 8 core

Ice Lake* it'll be a 10nm processor not the current 14++nm Coffee Lake lithography.

My point being, that when that all releases, current prices will ultimately drop

Coffee Lake AFAIK, were getting 14nm 8 core prior to Ice lake hitting, it is of course based on rumour
