Looking to upgrade from an ageing laptop, i7-3270qm + 16gb, no gfx, to a more capably work machine.
Mostly software dev (current builds takes approx 1hr), with the usual office stuff thrown in. Not planning to overclock, except will push the memory to the 3200 sweetspot. Will be likely to upgrade to a later version of Ryzen when they come out, so baring that in mind, hence to x470.
Small case is because a move from one office to another occasionally, so a small box makes that easy. Needs to accommodate one other 3.5 drive, and probably 2 other 2.5 ones.
Wont be gaming at all, but do plan to have 2 4K displays. Quality of text image (ie 2d) is the important thing here. I'm assuming the p400 is a pretty good choice on that front, but not 100% sure.
So what do you think?
