This coming months we'll get new graphic cards from both AMD and Nvidia, and in the CPU front Intel and AMD will also launch new processors. But hey, you can start looking at other parts: Case, PSU, RAM (DDR4), HDD and/or SSD, CPU cooler, etc. |
Is anything known about AMD's new CPUs?
I'm thinking hard about a new PC but I'm really undecided. AMD's CPUs are really enticing for their price but, wow, most of their stuff is several years old. I got caught with my current PC where the socket was outdated almost as soon as I bought it, meaning no simple CPU upgrades. Still, they're such a good value compared to Intel and I'd rather spend my budget on the GPU. The i5 line is nice but I don't even know if it's really worth it. I want under $1,000 total so my real limit is $900 at the most.
I'm also done with Radeon, at least for now. I'm tired of having problems and then reading somewhere "that game seems to work better on Nvidia cards."
