I need to start getting on that

Weird, Reds are definitely the most popular gaming switches by a large margin.
I don't like anything but Reds.
My only complaint was how loud they are, but cherry took care of that with the new silent Reds. Same feel but half the noise level.

For people looking for a "gaming" switch, sure, but I see far more people referring blues across all the communities
Posted on 5/29/19 at 11:31 am to bluebarracuda
Yes, gaming.
Posted on 5/29/19 at 11:35 am to UltimateHog
Even within the gaming community, blues are referred more.
Posted on 5/29/19 at 11:35 am to bluebarracuda
I don't think so. I rarely see Blues.

Lol yeah no thanks, is that actually correct? $600 for a mobo? Hard pass.
He said "roughly $600" and that pricing isn't locked in.

And that mobo pricing is bringing me back to the good ole x79 days when the cheapest mobos were like $399

Not sure who they are targeting for that Xtreme board, but my guess is only extreme overclockers who LN2 and shite
Cause who the hell would buy a $600 board to pair with a Ryzen otherwise
I guess that 16 core is still around the corner, and we know the 12 core is $500 now, I imagine it'll be at minimum $600 itself, if not $700-$800 range.

I would guess $700-800 for sure, the threadripper 16 core first gen was $799 MSRP and 2nd gen $899 MSRP.

To think we're getting a 12 core Ryzen with 3.8ghz base 4.6 boost for $500 is just mind boggling at 105 watt TDP. You literally have to spend twice that for a 12 core 2 year old Intel i9-7920x which is 2.9 base 4.3 boost (for 1 core)...and that's a 140 watt chip
Intel has to be collectively crapping themselves

For sure, Intel is in a rough spot for the foreseeable future.
Looks like they are now behind in IPC, gaming, power draw/efficiency and multicore workload applications and all of this at much much better price points. There is literally no reason for the next year+ to buy an Intel cpu for any use.

How do you guys build these PCs at such high prices? What do y’all do for living? Married? Kids? What kind of job? Credit? Second mortgage?

Just ordered everything over the past couple days.
How'd I do?
Strictly gaming + tasks that my 9 year old MBP already handles.
Been planning for a while and didn't really feel like waiting the additional month and a half - 2+ months to actually get my hands on a Zen2 chip and x570 mobo. I'll get something much better than anything currently available when the time comes that my i5 is obsolete enough to replace. That and I got my i5 for 40 off of current retail.
Prices are inclusive of tax and shipping.

Agree.
It's been this way for some time. We all got our reds in 2012-2013 because it was "pro". Everyone moved on to blues or browns. I personally rather the feel of browns.

Like where? Twitch Nerds? OCN user account signatures? Just wondering. The feel from the boards for a few years now is that reds are awesome with the most "pro" actuation. But it is sort of like staying out on the beach too long. The sound along with impact fractures from slamming a key with zero actuation resistance just isn't always comfortable.
It is also misleading with sale figures. At one time they just had reds for the most part. So they kind of threw them on everything.

What's considered high? Feel like $1500-ish is pretty normal for a true a highest mid-range end gaming build with say RTX 2070. High end going closer to $1750-$2000 range (RTX 2080). Very high end $2400-$3000 range (RTX 2080 Ti). Could build even cheaper using cheapest components but kind of ramped up price assuming using higher end components overall with each graphics upgrade there.
Could get away with a $1000 RTX 2060 build pretty easily too with very solid components.
