CPU
>CPUs less threads usually suffer lower 0.1% minimums
>Athlon 200GE - Bare minimal desktop/gaming
>R3 2200G - Light gaming(dGPU optional)
>R5 2400G - Consider IF on sale
>R5 2600/X - Good gaming & multithreaded work use CPUs
>i7-9700k/8700k - If you have a $2000+ budget and pairing with a 2080 or better
>R7 2700/X - Best value high-end CPU on a non-HEDT platform
>Threadripper/Used Xeon - HEDT

RAM
>Always choose at least a 2 stick kit
>8GB - Bare minimum/Light desktop use.
>16GB - Standard amount
>32GB - If you have to ask, you don't need this
>CPUs benefit from fast RAM; 2933MHz+ is ideal. Check "more" for true latency formula

Graphics cards
>RTX 2000 cards; cheap models usually low yield processor. Aim for factory OC versions for best performance
>use your due diligence with cheap MODELS ie MSI Armor (Mk2 is ok), Gigabyte G1/Wf, ASUS dual, and others w/ small heatsinks and low quality fans. They may be cheap, but won't get high boost clocks like better models
1080p
>RX 570/580/1060 6GB - standard 1080p 60fps+ options
1080p@144hz
>Vega 56/1070ti best value, Free/G-sync monitor highly recommended
1440p@60-75hz
>Vega/1070ti/1080/2070
1440p@100+hz
>1080ti/2080
4K
>Upscale from 1620-1800p. Or 2080Ti, but awful value
OpenCL use
>Vega 64

Storage
>Backup before using StoreMi
>Consider a larger SSD (better GB/$) instead of small SSD & HDD
>2TB HDDs are barely more $ than 1TB
>M.2 is a form factor, NOT a performance standard

Display
>Always consider FreeSync w/ AMD cards
>START YOUR BUILD WITH A MONITOR FIRST, then make a build to drive it appropriately

So is it worth investing in a 2700x over a 2700 or is the best bet to wait till the 3000 series are released and hope the performance increase is worth the time wait? Same for whenever AMD stops fucking about with the next gen cards instead of rereleasing overclocked 580s as new models.

Remember! MOAR CORES=BETTER

How do you know when your SSD is about to die?

>be me
>have 1080 and PG279Q
>install 4xx driver
>have monitor sleep issues since then
>have to roll back to pre 4xx driver
And I thought AMD had shit drivers. Nvidia is far worse.
Fucking GPU niggers too retarded to make proper drivers.

Wtf does monitor sleep have to do with the driver

more like bye intel lmao

amd does have shit drivers, nobody has good ones
t.has had the corrupted cursor for 2 years now

Use SMART data, pay attention to wear leveling or life left or whatever the manufacturer decided to call it. Basically unless you get one with a factory defect it should at a minimum live through a specified number of write cycles given by the manufacturer, and once you've hit that number of writes (specified as amount of data written to the drive, for instance a 500GB 860 EVO is rated for 300TB) you should consider it near end of life and begin making sure you have good backups of its content, or else just replace it.

everything duh
