Im thinking of joining the AMD master race too. With everything that’s going on in the world I’m working from home and have a lot more free time. Paying £500-£1000 for a video card to play games seems slightly less obscene.

Trying to convince my girlfriend that I medically need a new PC for about £1500 when I'm supposed to be clearing credit card debt and saving for a house deposit is a huge uphill battle. I've even said she can have my current PC to play House Flipper on to which she responds she doesn't need a gaming PC (even though her current PC is about 12 years old, barely turns on or runs Office).
No idea how I get around my situation.

Yes, a PC should come before a house, 100%.

Just do what you think is right. If she is still your girlfriend, then she has no legal right to impose upon you her decisions - nothing is legally shared between the two of you.
You may not have to wait that long as manufacturers can release bios when they like, I think gigabyte have already released a zen 3 compatible bios for their 400 series boards.

Agreed, do whatever you can to secure these parts.
To be fair, we're already in an owned house (not renting) but want a bigger place in a better area!

Given the higher temp of the 5800x is it likely its not getting powered back while under sustained load leading it to higher temps?
Im struggling to think why the lower all core ghz. Whats the main aim of this graph I'm guessing is my question

Due to a few failures with my kids PC's I need a CPU, Motherboard and Graphics card. That's green flag with the wife because its helping the kids out, so all is good.
Its been a while since I was hovering over the refresh button on a launch

Quick scan over gaming..... fairly convincing win for Zen 3. good stuff. but its flawed

So true.I have been married over 20 years, one thing I learnt : With purchases, its better to seek forgiveness than permission
All of the prices for many stores are here to use as comparison: https://wccftech.com/amd-ryzen-9-59...cpus-available-today-heres-where-to-buy-them/
I was considering 5900x and 6900XT but in the end the 6800XT is only 10-15% slower for 30% cheaper so unless the pricing changes and ends up more similar I will likely go with the 6800XT as I think that there will be a new gen sooner rather than later anyway.

I'm thinking the same, though it'll be 5600X and 6800. More modest though it'll be a hell of an upgrade from my current machine
same if I can get both

I got My mortgage first through the gov't help to buy scheme then a PC and a 20' plate motorbike
IMO house first unless you have spare savings ofc lolTo be fair, we're already in an owned house (not renting) but want a bigger place in a better area!
Funny enough we are looking to remortgage to a bigger one now haha! Only been owning it for 4 years lol

WCCFTech with finally a useful article!

I wonder how they got the other stores prices? I can't see any way to get them to show. I did notice the free delivery that was there last night has disappeared and been replaced by an £11.50 charge for delivering a cpu with no heatsink plus a free branded face mask.

They're missing the square company...
