I cannot fucking decide, buy 2600X or wait for 3000 series?
The deal right now with 2 games that I could sell is fantastic, price/perf wise.
AMD: Buy now or wait for 3000?

If your computer sucks and literally can't function well, upgrade.
Gavin Barnes
buy 1600, sell it later and get 3xxx. no idea if that's what you should do, but i did exactly that, got my 1700 (major upgrade from vishera) and now i'm waiting for 3xxx with a x470 mobo that claims to support 3xxx when it gets out
Joshua Brown
just wait bro
Aiden Wood
Fuck this thread, they cannot shut up about monitors.
Ayden Cook
its close to buy a 2700 time for me
Zachary Diaz
>buying dual channel
Nicholas Stewart
Really, just wait. Even if you go for the 2600X, it's literally a couple months now, even the 2600X will drop in price.
Levi Smith
you could get an athlon and use that until Zen 2 comes out. Otherwise, the 2600 and 2600X are great all-around chips, and if you're satisfied not having the latest and greatest, then you'll be very happy with a 2600X.
Adam Adams
You sound like someone who'll regret buying if the 3000 series is better on a benchmark. Not a gentooman who knows a 2400 or 2600x is already doing the job exactly well.
Christopher Walker
Question is: what do you have now?
Alexander Turner
>Buy x470 with 200GE
>Use 200GE to perform required 3000 series BIOS update
>In the meantime use 200GE to play non cpu intensive games
Such a hard decision.
Jordan Robinson
buy a 1600 from microcenter for $80 with $30 off any b450/x470 mobo. use it as a streaming pc after zen2 comes out.
Liam Cox
>available for in-store pickup only
>nearest MC is over 4 hours away
Carson Gonzalez
buy a first gen ryzen now and a good second gen mobo
that way in 1-2 years you can buy a 3xxx
Michael Wright
Wait until ryzen 4000 for 2.5d STAX
Aaron Russell
by the time 3000 comes up they will be talking about 4000 and you will be like. dont know if buy 3000 or 4000. and you will never buy anything. so just buy it already and later. if you can. buy the new one
Jace Clark
The 3000 series is 1-2 months away. Why can't you wait?
Andrew Moore
>amd
lmfao
wait until ice lake
Evan Bailey
I'm going to get the 3K right after Yule, when prices are likely going to be at their lowest.
Connor Collins
if you're upgrading from FX series, just get the 1600. I got mine for 50$ at microcenter
Josiah Gutierrez
Buy the 2700x anniversary edition for bragging rights.
Andrew Lopez
>t. seething intard
Adam Thomas
This.
All the girls will fawn over you too. Guaranteed.
Kevin Long
For $220, the 2700 is a pretty good deal. But then again, that $220 might buy a better processor in 2 months. Tough call.
Noah Cooper
What are you implying? It's getting released pretty much a few weeks after zen 2 and has much better performance.
Parker Brown

>SIPP roadmap
You own an enterprise and need to upgrade all of your computers?
Nathan Cruz
wow shitty mobile chips are really going to knock AMD out of the park, thats why coffee lake is getting refreshed, again!

Intel 10nm superpower 2077
Jonathan Sanders
>Ryzen 5 1400
>B350 mobo that claims compatibility with Zen2
I don't have any need to upgrade yet, so am waiting at the moment.
If you don't literally need to upgrade, just live with what you have.
Justin Hernandez
When will AMD think up a new socket? When DDR5 rolls out?
Levi Sanchez
I generally go midrange and try to last over 5 years on it, so I'm waiting for whatever the cheapest ryzen 3000 with 8c16t is. It'll have the security mitigations built in, be relatively low power/heat/noise, and keep up with the CPU of the next console generation. I don't really need anything more than that.
Jacob Lewis
Bought a 1600x last year, 0 FLOPs given
Thomas Perez
Road trip!
Angel Jones
I'm on a 3570k (4,2 ghz) and I'm on the fence for a hopefully good 3600X, if they're dissapointing I don't know if I should go 2600X or 9600k
I like gaming but I'm not a pro gamer or anything, I'm on 1080p and turn VSYNC on for fuck's sake but I want a good upgrade, this rig is 7 years old and I want something similar
When I think that CPU+MB+RAM combo was 400$ I want to punch those fucking companies so hard my knuckles will fall from my hands
Jaxson Johnson
Zen3 will still be on AM4 and Zen4 will be on the next socket
Hudson Hall
>3570k
Mah nigga. You planning an upgrade sometime this year as well?
Joshua Campbell
Buy Intel, if you buy AMD you will regret it.
Jeremiah Rogers
Yes, hopefully around summer
Zen 2 better deliver something good, and still I'll be waiting for b550 motherboards
Noah Wilson
I would get a 2700X instead of 2600X, but if you absolutely can't function now, buy. However, I would suggest if you're looking for mainstream AM4 socket, WAIT.
Zen 2 chips are coming in a month or two and will be overall improved, paired even better chipsets X570 which may even have PCI-E 4.0 bandwidth spec! For just a month or two, wait.
James Murphy
BOTH
DO IT FOR HER
Isaac Perry
Why not go X570 or better? Especially considering that there's the potential that certain features will only be on the X boards. PCI-E 4.0 spec, plus something like 40 PCI-E lanes etc.. are saiod to come with Zen2 CPUs + 570X boards.
Also there's the possibility if a leak is accurate that there will be a 16core/32 thread AM4 chip which used to be Threadripper territory.
Joseph Miller
I'll be waiting even longer, just to hopefully get a good price: I've already gotten myself a 1080 ti for a really nice price (and hardly used) since I have no faith in the current gen of GPUs or whatever is around the corner.
Good luck, user.
Parker Thomas
5.1ghz 3850X?
Jordan Adams
Just wait, is always the right answer. 2600Xs will also drop in price.
