My basket at OcUK: 1 x AMD Ryzen 9 7900X 3D Twelve Core 5.60GHz (Socket AM5) Processor - Retail (SKU: CP-3DS-AM) = £569.99 1 x Asus Prime X670E-Pro WIFI (Socket AM5) DDR5 ATX Motherboard (SKU: MB-6JB-AS) = £369.95 1 x MSI MAG CORELIQUID 240R V2 ARGB Performance Liquid CPU Cooler - 240mm...

Cheers :)

If anyone is still playing feel free to add me... 8208 1008 8913 :)

Short term - I would guess we are going to see games and programs leveraging up to 16 cores over the next couple of years, if I was building a new PC now with a mid/high budget I would probably go with at least 12 cores and expect it to be good for the next 3 years, knowing I could up it to a...

Assuming his benchmarks are right - and he is pretty careful, the 9700k with the 8 cores is actually a very strong chip. I am super happy as I am going to be grabbing a 3600 to upgrade my 2400g and that is a really good uplift.

You can still make an argument for the 9900k if you are looking at a big budget pure gaming rig - but I don't see any possible intel answer to this next gen of TR chips currently. I have absolutely no reason to want one, but they are pretty awesome eye candy.

Derbauer's video is extremely good - but very negative on the clocks achievable. It will be really interesting to see if he does an overclocking guide on the effect of memory. It really doesn't look like we are going to see anything much north of 4.4ghz on these chips. They are still a pretty...

Yes but Intel has higher clocks. We need to see which is better on a core by core basis and we just don't know that yet.

We have no idea yet if AMD re in the lead... let's wait a few days before making comments like that. I believe that AMD are probably going to have an IPC lead at the same speeds, but Intel still have a Mhz advantage. We need to see where it all ends up. Sure Intel don't currently have an answer...

IMO at well over a grand in budget you are better buying new, especially if it is a business expense. I assume you are actually going to use it for work, therefore the warranty of new product is worth it. Wait till after the weekend and see what you can get for your budget. I suspect you will...

Decent steps up from Nvidia - especially the gains on the 2070 with no increase in price. It is still not in my price bracket but that should make the 2070 pretty close to a 4k capable GPU. I think with the size of silicon on Navi they should have very strong profitability at the list price and...

I know right. Looking forward to spending a day watching a heap of reviews and reading. I am going to wait for August before I buy to see how things settle and see how people on here get on with them.

Yeah you can get a Vega 56 for 270 right now, that is an epic card for 1440p especially at that price. However the new Navi cards Launch next weekend, it looks like the 5700 might be an option in your price bracket. It is also possible that post release there will be some final specials on the...

OCUK built system you will possibly struggle at 2500 for a max build. You could absolutely build a kick ass system based on the top tier Ryzen and 2080ti, but some of the motherboards right at the tippy top in X570 are a bit pricey, likewise, if you want to go extreme on memory speeds or on nVME...

Fair point, it would be interesting to see a larger test, also if in reality producing more frames than the screen can render actually ever makes a real difference.

OK, so I am not sure that this really deserves it's own thread - and perhaps it belongs in monitors, but you need the graphics power to get to 240hz so I thought I would pop it in here. I know some find Linus a bit irritating, some of his stuff is a little silly - but he does actually do some...

OK, so you are already at a Court stage and have legal supervised visitation for your Son. So I assume you already have a) a family lawyer that has helped you and b) that after a number of supervised visits if your son can show that he is responsible then he will be allowed unsupervised access...

Still a 5v or 12v rail that should have shorted and cut long before causing a fire though. If genuine that really sucks, but I hope he has insurance and is covered. I would really strongly suspect some kind of accelerant there though, not saying deliberate - but perhaps leaking aftershave bottle...

Interesting results on the far cry graph, massive improvement over the 2700x but it is still significantly behind the 9900k, I wonder how much higher the clocks are going to be on the 3800x and 3900x in real testing.

Another vote for proper legal advice. Your OP kind of suggests you are not fully supportive of your son, if I am wrong I would recommend you do everything possible to ensure he has a stable safe environment to live in so there is no good reason for a court to deny access. There is a clear...
