At least you have picked up something. I literally had to go for a walk to try to clear my head.

Do you guys think B450 chipset motherboard would be enough, or should I go with B550 for future proofing?

Radeon RX 560 with 2 GB of memory. No parts shaming pls.

I watched good amount of benchmarks of 3600 vs 3700X and I have to say I was kinda disappointed how little difference there was between the two. 8 core gaming seems to be further than 8 years away. 5600X seems like it would be overkill for my 1080p at 60 fps requirement. I think Ryzen 5 3600 it is for me. I'm bit worried about future proofing, but here I am at 2020 and still using i5-2400. It should be fine.

@Humanoid Some sites have pre-sales for limited amount of items, before tomorrow's big sale. One of them has 3700X for 280€ and free shipping. But then again I do agree with you that 6 cores seems to be the sweet spot for gaming. But I currently have i5-2400 and I do like the thought of doubling the cores. Double the cores double the speed, right? Decisions decisions... Cheapest 3600 non-X I could find is 210€. The plan is to have the new computer to last me about 8 years, with a GPU upgrade in the middle. GPU is probably going to be the last part I buy, and I haven't decided on anything else than it to be AMD. @Zoraptor My display is 22 inches and for that 1080p is sharp enough. I'm not planning on upgrading my display, because I would have to buy a new computer desk too. My computer desk is so old I'm pretty sure they hadn't even heard of flat screens or displays wider than 20 inches when they made it. I was wondering what NVMe meant. Those sneaky bastards. My Win 7 is the volume type. I got it free from school back in the day.

@Humanoid 1) I could have sworn it was 230€ for 3600XT earlier this week, but now when I checked it was 245€. I wonder if it's going to be "on sale" tomorrow for 230€. I hadn't even considered 3700X. Somehow I was set on "mid range means 6 cores". It does feel like I can't really trust the prizes they have today so what would you consider good value for 3600X or XT, and 3700X? 5600X is 320€ and that is highest I'm willing to go for a CPU currently. 2) My current computer is almost decade old. So great news for me about SSDs lasting for decades. Maybe it's because I currently have only 500GB hard drive, it feels like I'm deleting and installing stuff quite a lot. 3) Excellent news about Win 10.

Hi guys, I'm starting to build a new computer for myself since my old one is really old, and my eyes are old too. I found out about this when I realized that every time I played game at 30 FPS, it would strain my eyes. I don't really understand why that would be a thing, but here we are. Also since I have only bought one AMD CPU and graphics card ever, I kinda want to build an AMD machine this time. Lastly, I'm not made of money so I will be buying the parts for new PC from different sales(if possible) starting this friday till post xmas sales at january. Oh, and I have already bought a 1080p display this summer since my old 900p display started to flicker. TL:DR: I'm building AMD PC capable of gaming 1080p at 60 FPS. I have few questions: 1. Ryzen 3600XT vs 5600X. For some strange reason I have found three different places that sell 3600XT cheaper than 3600X. This means the price difference between 3600XT and 5600X is almost 90€. Do you think 5600X would be worth it for future proofing and for just being a better CPU? 2. About hard drives. I thought I would get M.2 SSD for OS and programs, a SATA SSD for new games, and a good old HDD with RPMs for old games, storage and back-up. This is because I have never had an SSD so I don't really trust them. I wanted share the amount "traffic" the SSDs would get so they would last longer, but it would be cheaper to get just bigger M.2 SSD and no SATA SSD. What do you think? 3. Upgrading Win 7 to Win 10. I'm still rocking Win 7. When there was the free upgrade period I downloaded a file from that link, but I didn't run it. I wanted to save it for this moment. Getting a free Win 10 for a new computer. The question is: Would this actually work? Does the file still work? MS has closed the free upgrade period and the link is nowhere to be found, but I do have the file. Suggestions are welcome.

Fan of NWN? I always knew you weren't to be trusted. Edit: Wait... Since it's impossible for NWN to have more than one fan, is Volourn your alt? He is, isn't he? The truth finally comes out!

The manliest song there is. No weakling women in sight.

First episode of season 3 was the last chance I gave to Discovery. I only get annoyed while watching that show so why bother.

So I have a question for those who are going to watch the rest of season 3: Do you think the fact that Discovery(ship) is now over 800 years old antique is going to play any meaningful part for the season? Like they having use every trick and even resort to underhanded means just to survive in space battles. Or is going to be just hand waved away.

About Star Trek Discovery season 3: I don't disagree with anything majestic wrote. I think the main problem is the writers. They don't do either proper build-up for the scene or proper consequences for the scene, or both. Like in the very beginning Burnham crash lands on a planet and gets a serious injury. She has to Will herself to stand up through the pain. She has to Will herself to walk through the pain. And that's it. That injury plays no part in the rest of episode and definitely not in the very next fight scene. Everything is like that, even the "dilithium just exploded" stuff. Sure Federation is no more, but why is dilithium still used? Do they think it wont explode twice? Or why hasn't races who didn't use dilithium risen to power? Shouldn't Romulans be top dogs now with their artificial quantum singularity engines? If you think about almost any scene in that show for even a moment, it starts to break down.

RIP

But that only solves 75% of your problems, doesn't it?

This tickles my special place.

I haven't played Star Control 2 in ages. Welp, I guess that's good as reason as any.

Don't. Don't give me hope.

Does this apply to programming too?

I've heard from reliable source that Bokishi got them all.

My second favourite space cowboy is back!

The most memorable thing about the Dune for me is actually a song.

Even broken clock is right twice a day. So maybe this time will be different.

I do think The boys is still good, but it did feel like I was watching episodes 9, 10, and 11 of season one instead of first three episodes of season two.

Umbrella Academy season 2 I liked the first season and I thought this was even better, less angsty more comedic.
