Hi all,
After a long time away from the hardware side of things, I've decided to upgrade my machine with a new CPU, mobo, RAM, and GPU. A few months ago I was starting to think about it, and that's when all the articles and previews about the 3300X were coming out. Without exception all of them seemed to be saying that at the lower end (which is where I'll be - my budget is around £600-£700 for the lot) the 3300X was going to trounce everything else and you'd have no reason to even think about buying anything else.
Fast forward to now and the 3300X is out and I've started to look through some other people's spec threads with a similar budget to me to get some ideas. I haven't actually seen one yet that goes with the 3300X, most people seem to be going with the 3600.
Did the 3300X not turn out to be as good as was promised, or is it positioned even more to the budget end than I'm looking, or was I just a victim of the hype machine?
Thanks!
