You would probably have to get everything from them.

At once then, I assume?

Drop everything off with wootware in somersetwest.

I probably will do once I have everything.

Thank you very much for the information so far.

For example I just recently nabbed a 8 gig rx580 for R2500

What? Where? When? How?

The RX580 8GB is from AMD, does anyone know what the Nvidia equivalent would be?

Thanks. And what is the Nvidia equivalent of the Ryzen 5 2600 OC ?

Cool, and the 1660ti - is it comparable to a 1070? And do you know the AMD equivalent?

Thanks

Is i5 9400F = to Ryzen 5 2600 OC?

Go for a OC'ed 2600/2600X.

Instead of looking at max framerates look at the 1% low framerates as that translates to smoother gameplay. There are games where the 6 core intel is seriously taxed hinting at future limitations. That said older games will probably run better on intel.

My personal preference would be a b450 tomahawk mb with oc'ed 2600/x. But then you also have to do a price comparison, I suspect a 9400f build would be cheaper.

When I was looking the i5 9400f was comparable on price to the 2600x, the 2600 was better value and the 1% low was a bit better.

Hi nick

I bought it from evetech,it was a gigabyte Rx 580 mi ,the prices have been jacked up again though to 3999 so not worth it anymore,seemed to be only valid for a few days,there was also a gigabyte vega64 oc that was on sale for 4999 but it sold out quickly at that price point.
