Couldn't agree more.As someone who is building a new rig, all the info out today reinforces my desire to to get a 3700X.
It'll be cool to see what happens when PCIe4 GPU's come out.
Couldn't agree more.
Personally I'm waiting for B550 boards but would buy a B450 if time was a factor...
I check out this guy sometimes because while seeming really low key he often has fantastic real world advice and he said just that. For 3600x and 3700x aim for the b450 as there is about a 6 month wait on b550 and the 570 stuff is for the big boys. He does this comparison on the b450 Tomahawk.
Q:
Looking for the pros and cons for building on a new platform.
Option 1. 64/128gb m.2 nvme SSD boot drive. + 1tb SATA SSD games storage. + 2tb SATA HHD mass photo storage.
Option 2. 1tb m.s nvme SSD boot and games. + 2tb SATA HHD mass photo storage.
I'm thinking Option 1 for the ease of being able to do a clean Windows install in the event of corruption etc...

Been thinking of building a PC for the first time for the last 12. Want to bite the bullet and get started.
Done a bit of research from a wide range of resources, but some of these can often be quite outdated.
Was wondering if any of you could point me in the direction of your favourite or best PC build resources for beginners. It can be difficult deciding what info is reliable as I am new to it all.

So by extension 3600X is all the cpu that's required for all of 5700XT, 2070 Super or GTX 1080ti and below. It is also withing striking distance of the RTX 2080.That's being a little disingenuous, Anthony said that's when partnering the 5700XT with a 3600x.
The GPU market is so confusing at the moment. It's so hard to find value in the high end. Aus pricing on the Super cards is disgusting and the 5700XT may be just a little bit underpowered to push an ultra wide QHD above 100fps.
That leaves only cards $1k and up for brand new or looking for a nice used 1080ti or 2080 for $7-800.
