If going for a 5600x, stick with the B550. Unless you want to pay premium for the 12 series components, not just the CPU but the board and memory, I would stick with AMD for that reason alone.

Best rule of thumb is to check sold prices on eBay and post it locally so you don't lose out to fees.

That's a tough one. I went from a 6th gen to the 5900X and I can tell the difference. Then again, I was also gaming on a 1080. Going from a 9th gen to a 5900X, maybe on certain areas of gaming and high end productivity but you are already running a 3080 with the 9th and what I am assuming is an...

Crazy how I almost ended up with the 850 variant in my main PC. Luckily I got my bundle (With a 3080ti) prior to Newegg revising their return requirement.

Not sure if you need to go all the way to a Threadripper build. I am personally running a 5900x on an X570 platform and it's been running like a champ.

Have you checked to ensure that your BIOS are updated to support said CPU? What about the voltage to the CPU? I run into the same issue with my recent build using a 5600x. PC would randomly power off when playing games. Boots up just fine. Thinking is something to do with voltage being...

Highly suggest that you use at least 500GB as your main drive and have all apps/games installed on your secondary drive. My rigs are all running variations of Samsung. I have built other systems utilizing other brands and those are all still running fine. You are paying a bit of a premium going...

Nice setup. I was running something similar with a medium aio + push/pull config inside a similar case (the rgb model) and had similar temps.

Out of those 2 CPU fans, I prefer the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360. They have good reviews and I've used Arctic products in the past on previous builds. I'm not familiar with EKWB. I've been using Seasonic PSU and really like their build quality. Based on reviews, that specific model is really...

Can always upgrade in pieces and move said hardware to a new setup later this year. 1TB NVME SSD upgrade. 3080 if you're able to find one.

For those that was able to acquire this board, what are your first impression? Worth it?

If there's a need, upgrade it. When you do upgrade it, do it towards the end of 2021 so you can get some decent discount and a good run with your 10700k. Unless everything you are doing right now are being capped, I don't see the need to rush.

When I had the 5800x, when bench testing, I was idling at 38C and spiked all the way to 87C pretty consistently during Cinebench. This was using the H115i ELITE CAPELLIX inside the 4000x RGB.

Sounding like a student becoming the master situation, haha. Time for Intel to start undercutting and gives us another good dose of competition.

Get a Z490 board now. Where you should wait is on the GPU. Unsure how much you're going to pay for your 2080ti but hopefully it won't be retail. Buy a 3000 series or 4000 series (if you can wait that long).

Went with 3080 since I just dropped cash on a gsync uw monitor, lol

Deadly.

Yah, could be but there's a huge gap of loss opportunity between the $699 3080 and the $1499 3090. Now that AMD actually have a GPU tech that competes, AMD can run around freely between $700 and $1498 (as long as it performs at that price point) if NVIDIA doesn't counter. It's all good for us...

Yah, rumored to be at $999 to compete against 6900XT https://www.trustedreviews.com/news/nvidia-rtx-3080-ti-release-date-price-specs-performance-4108885

10850K for $250? Nice! I rather get that with an additional $50 bucks in my pocket compared to a 5600x and all the rick rolling one has to deal with to even get that CPU. Get it and don't look back!

XBOX Series S has been available on Best Buy for the longest time if anyone is looking. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/microsoft-xbox-series-s-512-gb-all-digital-console-disc-free-gaming-white/6430277.p?skuId=6430277

10700k is $319.99 if you want a newer gen z490 platform. Supposedly z490 will support 11th gen.

Congrats! I gotta try that next. Have you gotten anything else through Hotstock?

Yah, it's pretty small in comparison to an entire amusement part but it's likely as big as a Disneyland Land (Adventureland, Fantasyland, etc.). Definitely not a stand alone. Still pretty impressive with the theming tho. I appreciate Universal's effort in full immersive experience. Whoa, what...

This. I have the 980Pro on a x570 AM board. No crazy significant difference in gaming loads (currently) compared to my buddy's rig that I built (z490 + Sabrent Rocket Q) and not a night/day difference compared to my old setup which utilizes Samsung SATA SSD.

Voted, 3060ti Gigabyte Gaming OC (Newegg combo with Oloy via iOS app + apple pay), 3070 FE (Best buy via website on release day + luck and before they added in store pickup only), 3080 Gigabyte Vision (Newegg combo with Gigabyte PSU via iOS app + apple pay)

Yeah, I say leave the 3060 as is. The ti is already set and there's only a $100 MSRP between this and the 3070. Unless they discontinue and restructure everything again, it wouldn't make sense. 3080ti with more memory does make sense as there's still a big gap between 3080 and 3090.

Yah, I haven't really priced out any 3090. Not in my ballpark so seeing the actual invoice/receipt for one is just mind boggling.

lol, true.

The Kingpin is $2K???? Whoa!

I see this too from the stock streams I follow. Good news for those needing CPUs and Ampere cards.

5600x https://www.antonline.com/AMD/Computers/Electronic_Components/Microprocessors/1414834

I think I'm tapping out ya'lls. Good luck!!!

Seemingly the new jig is not just to have it in your cart, but to be able to check out...sigh...

Seemingly they are only doing store pickup only. The last time they did that for the 3060ti, it was a nightmare even after having it in cart, couldn't check out. I am guessing by now allocations are spent.

Taking Ls. Anyone winning?

Good luck ya'lls.

Value wise, the X570 GB is $170 and you're paying less, a better value. In terms of board quality, unsure which is better, the MSI or the GB. Maybe wait for others or check the AMD board forum or even reviews in general.

For the same price or you have to pay additional?
