I think you forgot the link :P 

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:

@DocSwag

 

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.

SO, I'm gonna be "that guy" and suggest an Intel build. It still does gaming quite nicely.

This route gives you an SSD, much larger HDD, and a 1060.

 

Yes, you can upgrade with the AMD route, however by the time you outgrow this system it's likely better to just rebuild with whatever is new at the time. You're looking at a price difference of what, $100 to get a new motherboard when you upgrade the CPU?
