My 760W powers a 1080Ti, but it's seasonic. There are simulators at the power supply manufacturers sites, you only need to google them

makes sense, its the red planet :D

Buy a new 16 GB RAM kit (do not mix with your older kit) and a new GFX. I recommend a Vega 56 but check its power requirements first. otherwise get a 1070.

yesterday before the second leg of the red bull Air Racing started in Porto City: 5pBw8EBYhYI ej4X2arMNSQ zRFaEIADAIE (nevermind the title, some people dont know what vapor condensation is :D )

It's just on that site, we do not know world share yet

Depends on the price. I have a sneaky suspicion they could be higher than the 350$ they are charging for the 7700K now, and the launch will be rushed and plagued with problems (as Ryzen was). But if the price is the same I would go 8700K (and I got Ryzen 1700x)

Flounder! :D

Check cpu voltage, mine defaults to 1.5v which is crazy high. I have 1.39 for my 3.9ghz overclock, you should be able to get lower voltages for six cores

Vega 56 is the way to go for a mid to high end card. If your in the market for a higher end card then NVIDIA is sadly the only way to go. The RX 64 flagship is just not worth the money (put a 1000W PSU on top of that) maybe except for the most fundamentalist of the fans.

not really usable 24/7 for most of us. :D It doesnt matter, one year down the road we will get a direct CPU replacement if your not happy with single core scores. They will be ambitious with the IPC and if we are this close to intel now in gaming, we will pretty much matching those but with 2 more cores under the hood.

oooph only 3.8??? I got a bad chip and it clocks to 3.9 with memory at 3333 (can do 3466 but the timings are not good with current BIOSes yet). On cinebench Im getting 160 single core and 1720 multicore.

Unless your using multiple GFX and M.2's, you wont see any performance advantage from 1900X and it is expensive. Either go R7 or 8700K for gaming.

Buy ryzen, and then get a bigger GPU. Win.

I LOL'ed hard at this. :D

Then Ryzen might be the option your looking for. But you still have to buy at least MOBO+CPU+RAM. R5 1500X plus a B350 motherboard might just fit your budget. Make sure you get a qualified RAM kit for the board your getting. EDIT: yes, an SSD would improve your gaming experience regarding stuttering and micro pauses.

the memory as well, (DDR3 tri channel). Might as well byte the bullet and get a totally new system. The new cofee lake 8700K model comes to mind. If it cant wait then AMD's R5 1600 is the winner. It'll save him money

thats 1440p

Balanced build there. you saved money on the CPu+platform and invested on the GFX and SSD. Smart move. :)

we are a couple of weeks away, literally, no joke.

howie, the R7 should give you better performance. Heres my testing: Also check this article: https://www.techspot.com/review/1450-core-i7-vs-ryzen-5-hexa-core/page9.html -q9u1rZXO0E So considering everything I exposed here, I believe you may be graphics bottlenecked. That 700 may not be enough anymore.

Enjoy your build, I did the jump 2 months ago myself. :)

Also, if you buy Gskill RGB kits dont use RGB software from either ASUS or Gskill. Its a known source of memory corruption issues and the fix has not yet come about.

Sorry for the late response. :] The AMD motherboards have a lesser degree of automation in overclocking. Its is more of an old school hands on experience guessing trial and error. You have to control the parameters more directly (for example, memory sub-timings). Rules of thumb: 1-Be mindfull what each timing does, if you feel you can't master it all leave those on auto. 2-Do overclocking by the book. Be methodical. otherwise you will be clueless if something goes wrong. 3-Be conservative, know where the hardware is hitting the limits and drop a notch (dont chase after the mythical 4Ghz barrier if voltages and temperatures are spiking) 4-Dont skinp on the PSU and choosing the right memory kits is paramount. I frequented forums and saw people mistyping voltages, trying to flash Zipped files or are using the wrong type of memory for overclocking etc. Most have an Intel overclocking background and are spoiled by automation (example: memory XMP profiles). 90% of the people shouldn't be allowed to mess in there TBH. This is where most of the horror stories come from. If you are uncomfortable with overclocking just go for a B350 board with a X CPU (1600X, 1800X) I've had no problems whatsoever with the crosshair VI and each BIOS iteration has allowed me to up a notch on my overclocking and stability.

Zero improvements in skylake-X from haswell and broadwell for gaming, even for multicore aware games: UIGGSxHpuoE Skylake X does overclock higher but then you have to tackle the monstrous heat output with very expensive cooling solutions. I dont think there are motherboards up to the task yet. those might come later. This is a poor showing for Intel. Im so glad I went R7 from my 2500K and didnt wait for these I9's. I would wait for Coffe lake, those promise more for gaming (6 cores 12 threads and a better suited L1/L2/L3 cache system). If you cant wait just go AMD (best CPU is 1600 right now) and use the savings to get a better graphics card.

wait for the 8700K I7 later this year, it will be faster than the 7820X for gaming and for less money. Currently the 7820X scores the same in games as the AMD R7, but the later costs half. Take your pick.
