I'd be aiming at something in the price range of the 3060. Or the AMD equivalent.

Paying in pounds since I live in the UK.

Got a 1070 now.

You will wait until early next year. The high ends come first for a while

Yup normally is the big boy first then the mid and entry level come in around Q1,Q2 of the following year.
Will be interesting to see, just pulled the trigger on a 2060 super to replace my 1660ti. The 1660ti will replace the RX580 in my other machine.

Didn't happen with the 2080 series. They launched 2060, 2070 and 2080 on the same day.

Memory is a little shyte, but yeah not to bad actually. Considering I paid R5k for 3200mhz and a B450 back in April.

Mother board is not a long term buy as it will not allow 4000 series of chips

I think it's for those who are wanting to get a foot in the door. The 1600AF is a decent chip

I got the 1600AF it is good, but went with b450 board as it will allow me to get next gen processors.

Yeah I've got 2 B450s, the A320 is really just for the entry level.

 

[HartsockZA]

next month, I hope... upgrading from a i5 4570 3.2Ghz DDR3 system
It's been a good 7 years and still going strong.

What're your feelings on the one up from that Msi x470?

The X470 should give you more upgradeability over the A320m for sure, but if you can find a decent B450 you'll be fine.

Mmm.. trouble nowadays can't find what you want. It's funny how I choose now to upgrade. Yea pretty cool board I was wanting to go ASRock Fatal1ty X370 but sadly no more

Why do you want an old x370? You'll have no upgrade path past the current ryzen 3000 series. You can still buy one https://tinyurl.com/y6vxp9dc

Rather get a B450 Tomahawk Max for less.

That would've been fine last year, but the 3 series aren't upgradeable to 4 series.

I'd shop around but for R6800 it's hard to find ram and cpu for the same price also 3200 ram
