Is there any difference between MAG241C and MAG241CR One has an R on the end... but other than that they seem the same?

So why not a cheaper board like the MSI B450m Mortar? is the MAX significantly better?

Fair enough, I'll stick with a 3600. Makes sense to go with the latest platform really. Thanks

I was wondering if its worth using the 2600 instead of 3600 in order to get a 580 instead. EDIT: Just realised i got an ATX motherboard in mATX case. oops My basket at Overclockers UK: 1 x Acer KG241P 24" 1920x1080 TN 144Hz FreeSync 1ms Gaming Widescreen LED Gaming Monitor= £144.95 1 x...

Thanks. That monitor seems like an absolute steal at that price!

Hi, Looking to get a new Gaming PC for around the £800 mark. Don't need to squeeze keyboard and mouse into that budget, but could probably do with a variable refresh monitor. Not too sure on games selection, maybe Diablo 4/Wolcen when released. TIA for any suggestions.

Ah i see, ye good idea, thanks.

But what they announce won't affect what I buy now, also if AMD is still the best option regardless of upgrade path then it also doesn't matter what they announce, it just makes it even better. Also, I don't think I would wait for the release (unless they release early Jan too, but that's...

It does make the 2700X look like a no brainer regardless of overclocking.

The one thing thats bugging me in this decision is about crashing and problems in Adobe premiere CC. I remember Hardware Canucks did a video about it with the 1800X and they swapped back to intel. Is this sort of thing still floating about or is the day to day stuff cleared up now on the AMD side?

I will be overclocking whichever it is that I go with. I know intel OC more than AMD but I won't be pushing for the very max as I have to maintain pretty good reliability.

Thanks for the input. The upgrading path for AMD is quite a big selling point, but looking at my specific use case (1440p gaming) and video editing and export, the intel one still snatches the lead. But then it also also significantly more expensive... Tempted to stick with intel because i have...

Or there is the AMD alternative... Any recommendations? My basket at Overclockers UK: 1 x Fractal Design Define C Mini Tempered Glass Micro-ATX Case - Glass Window= £89.99 1 x ASUS TUF B450M-PLUS GAMING (Socket AM4) DDR4 MATX Motherboard= £87.98 1 x AMD Ryzen 7 Eight Core 2700X 4.35GHz...

Hi all, doing a little upgrade on the approx above budget. Usage is Video Editing, gaming, CAD approximately in that order. Would like to come down to Micro-atx for smaller overall size. Will continue using: 980ti corsair AX 860 PSU Sapphire Vapour X cooler Already bought: 860EVO 1TB 970 evo...

I'll propose itx and matx and shall discuss how small it needs to be.

Ye, i think this could be the right case. My basket at Overclockers UK: 1 x Silverstone Sugo SG11B USB3.0 Chassis - Black= £61.99 Total: £72.49 (includes shipping: £10.50)

I wrongfully assumed that they always came together. Yes, only need was for 64GB capacity, not to be ECC. My only apprehension is that its asrock and my experience has not been great.

Thanks, that board is the SODIMM one so 288 pin dimms wont work. but that is a build that I'd considered. There is no set budget right (annoying i know) its more of finding out how much it costs to deliver a machine of this capability. 4-6k is not at all out of the question.

The only reason for ECC as far as i can see is to get 32GB 288pin dimms. There is there one asrock x299 board that holds 4 sodimm slots though...

To clarify, the solidworks work being done is all in design, no simulation, analysis or rendering so the CPU requirement is just single core performance for this purpose. Perhaps more will help with the Solidworks VR add-in, im not too sure. something like a 8700k seems like a decent choice, but...
