JayzTwoCents put a video out today pointing out that Nvidia has lowered the MSRP on a lot of the cards, especially the higher end ones. He was saying they're likely dropping to get rid of the surplus of 3000 series cards before the release of the 4000. Some solid deals out right now on 3700-3900 cards.

Im considering a new budget build.. My current rig is pretty ancient besides a newish nvme ssd and power supply.. its mostly just an office computer these days and I game on my ps5 but I do miss my PC gaming.
I hate the fat arse case I have now and want a smaller one.. not sure I want microATX or not.. thinking yes so I can sit it on top of desk
current build
budget build
Thoughts? Manjaro user, so not really getting AAA titles immediately.
I am thinking AMD for way better Linux support.. Wayland doesn't really work with nvidia.

Made a couple of tweaks - going with the 5600 instead of the 5700g, better low-latency memory, great NVME SSD, slightly different case and PSU - didn't see you have an SSD or PSU, so you may already have those.

thanks! 
Yes in my current build I have a 2TB SSD already in the current build- and that's all I have anymore. The older SSD is my old Windows SSD but I don't even have it plugged in, it's just in my case in case something happens to my 2TB SSD. And I have a 750W PSU that's maybe a year old, so not concerned about that.

Damn, that's nice price. AMD plays better with Linux though, at least for now. Nvidia has had closed-source drivers until recently announcing they'll open source them.

The absolute jankness getting my new server up 
I'm having to use one of my mining PCIe x1 to USB to x16 adapters for my initial setup with a shitty graphics card

AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 6-core Raphael CPU is up to 22% faster than Core i9-12900K in leaked single-core test
Wowza.
And the 7600X boostclock of 4.9GHz is well behind the top chip at 5.5GHz.

Got my Fold 4 and Watch 5 pre-ordered now to wait for Ryzen and maybe the ryzen 3D variant instead later in the year over the regular ones soon.

Ryzen 7000 now scheduled to launch Sept 27th.

Last chipset, it was the second round of motherboards that stayed compatible all the way through the end. That’s the only thing helping me hold off. Well, that and that DDR5 price to performance is still kinda stupid

I'm diving in. May wait for 3D if they also announce them but getting one of them and a new case.
Did you see the Samsung 990 Pro pcie5 Gen 5 SSD about to drop? 14K read double pcie 4 Gen 4. Biggest jump we've seen for SSD's in a decade.

I did, but my concern is that all anyone wants to talk about in their press releases is sequential speed, not random. And as someone who doesn't do digital production work, I practically never have the need to move around extremely large single files. Until the internal controllers start making some generational leaps, I'm not sure if anything coming out in the near future is going to move the needle for 95% of even the enthusiast computing crowd, as random read/write keeps lagging. But it's obviously great for people who actually do that kind of production work.

I am so pumped for this new bleeding edge tech. Pcie 5 is a godsend after the mediocre 4.
Posted on 8/16/22 at 10:40 am to UltimateHog
Yeah, I didn’t really see much of a point to Gen 4 NVME drives. I’m still running 3TB of Gen 3 NVME on my system, as I saw no reason to upgrade. Hopefully Gen 5 offers more. I’m still not sold yet, though.
Now, this next generation of GPUs are almost certainly going to completely saturate Gen 3 PCIe bandwidth, so Gen 4 will be useful in that capacity.

Yeah I'm going 990 Pro, DDR5 32 6000, may wait for 3D 7000 and new case.
We going hard since everything is such a huge jump. Exactly why I waited.
