Hi all.
Just put my hand in my pocket money today (Im 29 not literally lol).
After saving up since the 8700k release; realising it wasn't worth the £ due to demand. Since the 8700k release days (don't mention that release) things have changed a lot.
I will be going from an:
CPU: 3820 i7 @ 4.625 ghz
Cooler: Noctua NH-14D
Mobo: Asus Sabertooth X79 LGA2011
RAM: Team Group DDR3 1166 mhz memory running in quad channel (why I went 2011 back in the day)
GPU: Zotac GeForce GTX 1070Ti Mini (originally a 780Ti back in the day)
Main storage: Samsung EVO 850 1TB SSD
New setup will be:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3700X
Cooler: Noctua NH-14D
Mobo: Gigabyte X570 AORUS PRO
RAM: Team Group 8Pack Edition 16GB 3600MHz
GPU: Zotac GeForce GTX 1070Ti Mini
1st Game drive: Samsung 870 Evo
2nd storage: Samsung EVO 850 1TB SSD + 4TB HDD
What benchmarks do people run nowadays? I just thought It would be funny to compare / see the results of 7 years since I built my old PC. Before I dismantle the old workhorse
Here's an old PC which still does gaming fine but soon to be retired:
