I'm going AMD for the FIRST time since 1994!

[Neil79]

My first AMD was a 486 DX , and ever since then I've had intel with the previous one you see in sig!

However I've just purchased

Very similar build to mine in October. I was a little nervous going to them as I've always been intel. But it's been absolutely flawless and a monster of an upgrade.
I bought a sapphire 7900xtx nitro to go with it and that was new to me as my last card away from Nvidia was a ati 9800xt and I'm mega happy with it.

What card you getting?

Why 64gb of memory are you running modded games?

It seems everyone is going AMD these days. I've always been an AMD fan myself, but Intel was king for a lot of people for a long time. I've been out of the PC world for a decade. What happened?

Same here long time Intel user, switched to AMD couple of days ago, from personal experiance and this might just be down to motherboard manufacture ASUS or something can't remember last time I had to mess about installing lan or wifi driver during Windows install or any driver for that matter. Questioned my decision been honest, then few hours later I was happy with my switch.

There are some instability and degradation issues with the 13th and 14th gen cpu's. This thread covers it

Intel has a Pretty Big Problem..

Intel's 13900k's and 14900k's are crashing at an alarming rate? Why isn't anyone talking about it and what is Intel's solution? Forum Thread here: https://forum.level1techs.com/t/intels-got-a-problem-13900k-ks-kf-14900k-ks-kf-crashing/213008?u=autumn

You missed one of the best investment opportunities of the decade .

Just future proofing really, plus I play a lot of modded Skyrim

I just upgraded to a 7800x3d & an Asus B650E-E paired with Gskill trident G5 6000mhz cl30 ram.
Very happy so far,it's given my 3080FE a boost . I'm sure you'll be very happy with your new build

Just a heads up first boot can take up to 15 minutes to display on screen as the motherboard is training the memory.

Thanks dude, that's very helpful!

@Neil79 Let us know how much better you feel DayZ runs with an X3D chip.. I felt I had a big boost in Lows and a much smoother experience when I got my 5800X3D

To be honest DayZ runs perfectly with the 10900K overclocked. But I'm hooked in Delta Force and want the best frames

Pretty much the setup I have been planning on buying for months now! Just waiting for house sale/purchase to complete in the next few months.

I hope it works out well for you! I also have the same GPU already!!!
