  1. Should have gone with a 9900k still the best gamer after ryzen 3 ok ok it would have cost 2 grand more… but you would still feel great about it. Upgrading a 2700x to a 3700x is just dumb. Bottom line it cost more then buying a 9900k directly so always go for long term builds its always cheaper then upgrading after a short amount of time. Amd is only cheaper on the lower end go anything higher end and long term intel is a lot cheaper and has bin for over a decade now.

  2. Or just live with it. Because something marginally better will come along shortly anyway then something after that. You'll be happier if you just learn to accept that what you have is good enough until a game comes out that you just can't play at acceptable settings.

  3. 3:54 Why? Because our west European power grid is modern and a thunderstorm is harmless. Unless your own house or the few in the direct vicinity get struck badly, but that basically never happens. And if that happens your PC is fried anyway

  4. The computer-hardware you buy is always "obsolete" immediately, because there will always be better computer-technology. – But is it obsolete for what YOU want it to do?? – I mean, you don't buy something for what it DOESN'T do. You likely bought a certain processor because you looked up its capabilities and agreed with that. – For example, I knew Ryzen 3000 was coming but I still went for the much-used 2600. Not only is it a lot more affordable now (plus, it was on sale for a significant lower price when I bought it), the 300-equivalent, being the 3600, is only about 15% faster in general. – And again, it will do what I need it to do, until perhaps there are games and applications that will be more demanding in a few years (or even sooner than that). – But I'm not going to buy the slightly newer generation for a significant amount more money when there will be something that will make for a bigger jump, say with the 4000 series, when that time comes. – And personally, I'm jumping from a first generation i5 (that's about a DECADE ago) to Ryzen anyway. So that's about an 8 generation jump for me personally anyway. It'll be good.

  5. If you'd just bought an Intel system.
    Congratulation you made the right long term decision.

    Watching der8auer video on the 3000 series, It doesn't hold up well or work as well as they advertise.

  6. let's be real price to performance 2nd gen is far superior. Overall performance is nowhere that substantial either. However, pricing for 3rd gen can be doubled over 2nd gen.
