Already got mouse & keyboard, only waiting to get a Monitor in 2-3 months max.
I also plan on playing all newest titles coming up in the next years obviously, Anthem, Dying Light 2, Cyberpunk, TES6 FO5, etc.
I exchanged the i5 for a i7-8700k but people told me its far too overkill and that the Ryzen 7 2700x is a good alternative choice with the b450 gaming pro motherboard, is that true?
WoW is still CPU heavy… so an i7-8700K wouldn’t be that bad a move.
I’d guess that a lotta AMD hype is down to Intel having it all their own way for too damn long, having supply issues w/ some of their chips or… who knows.
AMD have the ace w/ value for money, sure… but as to how nice they play with WoW? That’s another thing.
Even before the 6core I5s came out, they were generally considered to be a good all round processor for gaming with the I7s additional features mostly being better used by content creators with software that can use more threads.
I’m going to assume this is your new build, mind posting your old build?
Consider saving up a bit more if you want a real great rig, if you want to keep this thing 5 more years consider going for a lga2011 CPU socket compatable build.
It would require different MoBo memory and processor (speed goes up to 4.2 stock(!))
I would suggest getting 2 ssd’s, one of 125GB, another one possibly at 125GB as well if you only play wow but let your second SSD’s size be determined by the games you play.
Old games work fine on sata, newer games are on SSD, if you have your OS on one SSD and the games on another the diskreads/writes/io’s of games will not affect the ones generated by your OS and vice versa.
The case is really personal taste
If you intend to keep cash to spare get the g-skill memory sticks of 4233hz, after i replaced my memory with that changing from no shadows to maximum shadows didn’t even see an FPS drop
