New Gaming PC - £1600 spend

touche. everyone loves a quickie no? :o
Hehe - with computer hardware these 'double-entendres' could get very risky. So many potential replies - with so many possibilities for a temporary ban :D

Just be sure to remove all shrink wrap off hardware responsibly after use...

/exits...
 
before plec, before...looooooooooool
See, this is how STDs get spread (misunderstanding between consenting parties) use the 'shrink-wrap', @tamzzy :D

/slow exit turns into a sprint...

EDIT: I think i may have misunderstood your reply on re-reading - bad @tamzzy. :p

/on topic

@DazedNFused - I would confirm lead times before ordering parts early (although b450s may sell fast) as you may lose out on your 30 day return for easy swap outs if you have a DOA component.

@tamzzy - Will this MB still need a bios update?

@orbitalwalsh - i'm interested to see what you Nvidia build come in like:)

it's fake. look at how they spell "SKU's" #facepalm


ah good to know. as @Journey helpfully points out, self-updating bios is, thankfully, not too hard...

10 core intel. no - look into gigabyte rep posts here regarding end of the year happy fest .

all rumors have to start from somewhere i guess. Competition is looking up. when you finally do upgrade... you'll be old new PMSL :(

*********

what did you go for in the end ? remember what @Plec says , no pics- it didnt happen ! lol

LOL - don't start using me as a pawn for your pic fetish.

I'm guessing the Ryzen build as it was quoted last. Although no denying the brute strength of the INTEL build... (i am Swiss in these scenarios, with red tendencies towards future).

But, @EsaT, is Finnish and is showing admirable restraint with your 9700K build - it must be killing him :D

ah no, i know there will be a 10c intel part.
i'm just saying that the wccftech slide is FUD - most likely made-up by someone with too much time on their hands.
 
@tamzzy

Can you picture the VRMs on new intel boards for 10 cores on 14nm... Would need more Phases then x570 and actually get them hot !
Can you picture the price?

With the price precedent of the X570s for desktop motherboards - **** knows what INTEL will dictate from manufactures and subsequent price for similar specs. Unless they're truly rattled - perhaps they'll water down their 'secret source' (just sounds so naff.)
