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.

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.

Looking to throw a little ITX PC together with some of my spare parts... Forgot how expensive ITX boards for "older" (8th gen) gens are

Yeah, you definitely reach a point with motherboards and RAM that you kind of look around and realize it would be cheaper to just do a from scratch low end modern build
Posted on 8/17/22 at 2:56 pm to bluebarracuda
Yeah I looked at a for fun ITX build for years and never did one. Wanted to do an all white one.

I might just buy an atx case with a handle or something. I have all the parts except for the case and itx mobo (I have a full atx mobo).

What’s your usage case? Or a better question is suppose is what are you trying to accomplish?
Posted on 8/17/22 at 4:20 pm to Joshjrn
There is no use case and there is nothing I'm trying to accomplish
Just trying to find some use for my spare parts that I'm too lazy to sell

You caught my attention when you mentioned a handle; that’s why I asked
Plenty of small atx cases out there:

It would be ideal to use it around if I need to, but that would be like twice a year
I might buy a cheap and smallish non-plastic case and put my own handle on it

Posted on 8/19/22 at 8:16 am to bluebarracuda
6950xt @ 999
300$ cheaper than what I bought my 6800XT for feb 21. Already got my 1300$ out of it! Ill wait for the next gen

I'm just hoping that the future 4080/7800xt hybrid/aio I buy next gen doesn't put me in the poorhouse

Death Stranding coming to PC Game Pass on the 23rd, for anyone that never checked it out.
