I've gone balls deep in a new hobby--fishkeeping. Almost as expensive as PCs.
Time to step up your SBC game.. I bet they have a lot of cool projects for monitoring, maintenance and automation of the systems(s). Reef-Pi is a popular solution I've come across often while browsing builds. It seems to have a good bit of support, so a lot of kitty code out there to grab.
FYI - We are back in the early 2000s. AMD > Intel CPUs for gaming, and.. everything else.
Glad to see you post!

Buying a new GPU, is the 2070 Super worth the 25% more compared to the 5700 XT?
ETA: I'm buying a 1440/144hz monitor pretty soon also, so I'm trying to figure out which would be better for that.

It has a 10+ FPS advantage in PUBG, so if that's worth more to you then I would go for it

Yeah, I watched some more benchmark videos and decided on the 2070.
Now, things will really get into the weeds when I buy a new CPU. AMD vs. Intel is going to be very hard to decide.

Without a doubt. Also, I like the driver experience (no pun intended) that you get from Nvidia. I still have a bad taste in my mouth from when I was on AMD. The premium you pay for with Nvidia is worth it when you factor in the software suite that come wrapped in Nvidia Experience.
Plus, the 2070 Super seems like a lot of GPU for $500.

Recommend me a CPU from both sides that is around $400

How long ago was that because almost everyone considers AMD to have the much better software suite ever since Crimson and now Adrenalin.

Who are these ppl?
Who uses that anyway?
The settings that need changing I do in config files.
Drivers have nothing to do with that gui. I don't think he talked about GeForce whatever it's called. I don't even download it. Haven't for maybe 3-4yrs.
Edt: It's irrelevant imo. What I'm trying to say. Not that one is better than the other.
He simply talked about drivers. Not their user experience/tools.

Yea this is 100% false after having and using both currently
Posted on 10/16/19 at 5:42 pm to bluebarracuda
I've always used both.
AMDs one looks cool, but they both do nothing for me.

Huh? He specifically says software suite which is the same thing I said.
Driver wise is definitely AMD. Whole different argument.

Let's all calm it down.
I haven't used Adrenaline, but I did use Crimson. I like the options that GeForce Experience(not Nvidia Experience, as previous stated) a lot more than anything I had with AMD. AMD seemed to tag on a lot of 3rd party software, like overwolf, which just seemed lazy compared to what Nvidia was doing.
Anyways, is there a physical difference between the 3700x and the 3800x, or is it just clock speed and marketing? Either way, it's going to get it overclocked until it's balls fall off.
ETA: Nevermind, no difference.

Nah not anything 3rd party. ReLive, Radeon Chill and RIS is why it wins the head to heads. RIS especially smashes Nvidia's offering.
But I like my money too much to ever justify $100 for 3 FPS average. That makes me quiver.

I'm glad I was at least able to throw up the hog signal and get you in here. Looks like I'm going to go 3700x for my CPU. Posted on 10/16/19 at 6:13 pm to brucevilanch
When I smell bad purchases I come running.
