Substatic 421 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) That's all the obvious stuff that can literally quickly be googled in seconds (unless you are TB or some shit). The peripherals/desk is always what requires more thought time and input. Like think about a new fancy desk and monitor: This ASUS monitor should blow every other monitor out of the water when it releases, but will be over-priced for what it is, https://rog.asus.com/articles/gaming-monitors/the-rog-swift-pg32uqx-delivers-the-best-4k-hdr-gaming-experience-yet/ And I like what this guy did in terms of desk/decor: Edited August 16, 2020 by Substatic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sergio Perez SP11 173 Posted August 16, 2020 Author Share Posted August 16, 2020 I think anything beyond 21:9 Aspect Ratio is stupid. And almost prefer 16x9 still (closer to human vision) Also, should I wait for Zen 3?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Mother Fucker 26 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) If he doesn't have AMD right now he should just wait to ZEN4. I think jumping to AM4 at the end of it's life is a poor decision, when ZEN4 Ryzen 5000 will come up in 2021 and offer DDR5 memory, and be on the new AM5 socket. You're going to be like, why did I just spend all my money on AM4, DDR4 stuff. Edited August 16, 2020 by The Mother Fucker Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have a feeling the only reason why we haven't seen RDNA2 cards yet is due to the consoles and them not wanting public knowledge of a large part of their tech just yet, as well as wanting to be able to react to Nvidia. As for Zen 3, AMD is in no rush, their Zen 2 CPUs are selling like crazy and are under no threat by Intel. AMD is currently the only platform which supports PCIe 4.0, which both Nvidia's Ampere GPUs and AMDs RDNA2 GPUs will support... which will make Intel look even more behind feature-wise and sell more AMD based systems. Still, they are committed to release by the end of the year. Hopefully they are a good step up from Zen 2. In just a few months PCs are going to get much faster than they've been for the past 2 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Mother Fucker 26 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) Only thing I'm looking to get this year and it's a big IF, and that's probably the Ryzen 7 4700G APU if it goes retail. Edited August 16, 2020 by The Mother Fucker Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If Zen 3 is 15-20% faster than Zen 2.. I might consider buying the 12-core Zen 3. I want to see how it performs with the 3090 in comparison to Zen 2. If there's much of a difference, I'll get one.

I have this nice, very nice looking HTPC set-top box case I'm working on as my last PC build (and I mean it because you know I built too many systems). Since this will be an entertainment style looking case, I decided to make this be only APU. I don't want to have to hassle with trying to get a decent GPU installed, and that 4700G seem to check all the boxes. Just one problem. This would be on the B350 motherboard I randomly picked up a couple months ago. and so it's up in the air if B350 will get Ryzen 4000G support. Which I'm hoping it does, because the APU is ZEN2, and the board mgfr Gigabyte already released BIOS support for Ryzen 3000 XT CPUs for it. B350/450/550 seem to be dedicated to APUs with them all having HDMI ports, so I'm hoping this old mobo gets support. Because I don't want to have to settle for a Athlon 3000G. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yea, honestly you can make some incredibly small form factor PCs without having to consider a discreet GPU. About the mobo.. yea it's hard to say. Hopefully that works out for you.

Chairman_Meow 9 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Getting a adjustable height desk was the best investment I ever made. I do a lot of typing on the computer and this changed my life when I work from home. Now i have my eyes on a Herman Miller Aeron chair to go with it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
