The big changes are: +New CPU platform: I've gone with an Intel CPU, one of the new Sky Lake processors with a matching motherboard and DDR4 RAM (of which I had to settle with only 8GB +Better GPU: The R9 390 is a great GPU that will surely last until the end of this gen of consoles. I could have gone with a slightly cheaper 970, but the 390 is usually on par with it and the true 8GB of VRAM might come in handly. Also, I don't trust Nvidia. When the 3.5+0.5GB thing was revealed, Nvidia said that it didn't matter because they managed the memory allocation on a game to game basis through the drivers, and after what happened with some game releases and the Kepler drivers, that doesn't inspire confidence. +New PSU: A 390 needs more power, so a 600W is required. +Better, wireless, keyboard and mouse. |
