I'm so impressed the next few systems I build will be Ryzens....
Rising component costs is an interesting one. Other than Intel processors, anyone see any components that are more expensive now than a couple of years ago?
I got a motherboard and ram for that spare Ryzen I had kicking around. Seemed a shame to waste it.Quote:

Talking to friends and many plan a ryzen chip on there next upgrade if things stay as they are.
AMD are on the up and quite rightly so.
Yes B450 here in this build. I was kinda generalising across both Intel and AMD though - look at prices of X570 boards etc. never been able to command those sorts of prices on AMD but as they have a much more rounded feature set than Intel now they canQuote:

I did see one mention where the primary lanes coming from the CPU IO die would be PCI-e 4.0 because there's no reason for them not to be.Quote:

I'm happy for AMD. They've really done an amazing comeback, especially on the CPU front. I hope they are able to bring the fight to Nvidia on the GPU front so that consumers will have better deals because of the competition.
