Interesting - I was just thinking because I prefer simulation games over AAA stuff, and originally figured the 2600X would be better but the moment I started to research google results would recommend an intel cpu
I suppose I could switch up my needs and just get faster RAM? I want only the best in my citybuilding, occasional AAA gaming, shitposting machine.
When is the next wave of gaming monitors supposed to actually get here?
I want to go all in on a super monitor with all the memes, but every time I consider it I see someone somewhere say newer monitors with even MORE memes coming soon.
Should I just get a half-upgrade now for ~$300 (27 inch, 2k, prob 60-75hz - or even 400 for gambling on the dell gsync) and wait 5 more years? Been sitting on this old ass 23 inch for about a decade and I want bigger
Complete beginner here

gaming, streaming, coding(software dev.)
>For monitors, include purpose
I have an old BenQ Zowie RL2455HM 24"
should I also upgrade/get 2nd one?
and what does Jow Forums think of the featured build?

Emulation is great with the latest generation, even RPCS3 after tweaking some settings

I was like you, I was looking for a computer mostly for gaming and sporadic high demanding tasks, so I just want to tell you to not believe Jow Forums shills, study several reviews from different sources and compare prices on your accessible stores to make a decision.
Shieeeeet, but trying to figure out if people on google are shilling or if a random anonymous user on my favourite arctic peacock-rearing forum are leading me astray is difficult.
if you buy intel right now you will be buying a brand new mobo within 2 years if you want to upgrade unless you're starting from low end i5 and then want the better intel chips they have right now later
Is the ryzen 2700x worth it if you're just going to be gaming on it? how much big of a diffrence is it between the 2600x?
So if I'm looking from a future-proofing standpoint I wouldn't have to worry so much then right? I've actually never had an AMD cpu, but my last i5 lasted me ~5 years before my mobo and video card died on me and now with ddr4 memory I have to get new everything anyways.
I've never really done the math on replacing parts over shorter periods of time
