>R5 2600/X - Good gaming & multithreaded work use CPUs
>i7-9700k/8700k - Extreme setup with RTX 2080/Ti | If you can't afford to spend 350 dollar on a CPU go with AMD.
>R7 2700/X - Best value high-end CPU on a non-HEDT platform
>Threadripper/Used Xeon - HEDT

RAM:
>Always choose at least a two stick kit; 2x 8GB is recommended

1080p
>GTX 1060, RX 570, RX 580 for older or less demanding titles
>RTX 2060 thanks to 6gb VRAM is only good as a short-term solution; consider 1070/Ti or Vega 56
1440p
>RTX 2070; consider 1070/Ti or Vega 56 ONLY if on sale
>RTX 2080 if you're looking for very high (100+) framerate and you have a CPU and monitor to match
2160p (4k)
>RTX 2080
>RTX 2080 Ti is better, but very expensive

General:

Fry's has a $20 discount on the CORSAIR CARBIDE 400C. Think it's worth it for someone who has the BIG haf 922?

No one?

But
Why
Though

Seems kinda cheap to me, but I don't mind the look. My case right now is heug. I'm also looking at the cooler master h500

>Only
>Two
>3.5"
>Bays

all of the new cases seem to be like this and the only thing we can do is buy 2tb SSDs

What's generally the best Freesync monitor in the $100-$200 price range?

Or use a server case. Until HAMR comes out it's basically impossible for anyone with any backups to move to so few bays safely.

How much will you get from selling 4690K + Motherboard + RAM? How much will it cost to get a Ryzen 2600 + Mobo + RAM?
