A Ryzen 7 2600x seems to be where the smart money goes.
I've been running an i53570k for such a long time.
I think it needs to retire to nice cozy Plex server.
I have a 1070 with a target of 1440p and my CPU has been bottlenecking and I can imagine that's only going to get worse.
Not in the market for a new GPU anytime soon. Let's see what next gen rtx does.
So.
I'm still seeing intel single core performance out performing AMD.
This ivy bridge chip has done me proud, price performance and longevity.
What's the best option for a motherboard to overclock a Ryzen? Not wanting extreme clocking, just the free bump you get with the X series.
Not had AMD since an old 900mhtz chip which means I'm all at sea. B350? 450?
Is ddr4 really that good?
I'm a dad gamer so I want my precious game time to be a shiny as possible but it is not something I can justify dropping 2grand on CPU/GPU.
Terse, brief state of play would be appreciated.
