Devil's advocate regarding the 50% performance per-watt improvement; AMD was really sandbagging a lot presenting Zen4 recently. How are you certain they're not here as well?

Hmm...more cores with little performace increase and a high power requirement? Where have I seen this before? Oh well, no matter. So Intel's codenames for the new chips are Tractor, Suplex, and Backhoe... cough

You may have the worst sarcasm detector I've ever seen.

I'm so torn right now. On the one hand, China's blatant and rampant IP theft makes their whining laughable. On the other hand; Trump break the law? That's unpossible!

Ok, they Q software seems useful, but like I've said before, you can all get right the f*** off my lawn with that RGB crap :) . If you want bling, casemod your rig like a real man/woman/other!

Error in the article? Afaik, Intel does not have an IPC advantage, the Ryzen have better IPC. Intel has a frequency advantage. https://www.techspot.com/article/1616-4ghz-ryzen-2nd-gen-vs-core-8th-gen/

But you can experience the beautiful ray-tracing in Battlefield 5!...well....once Dice releases the patch for it......and once Microsoft releases the October update....and if you have an i7-8xxx or ryzen 2700.... *cough*

I wonder how many torches & pitchforks of people who bought 20 series cards becaue of Tom's will be outside their offices when AMD's 7nm cards drop.

I honestly don't know how much of an improvement just the graphics card would make. The E350 may choke any significant graphics card upgrade. I'd look around on that classified site for someone selling a CPU/motherboard/RAM combo for a good price.

Found a leaked bottle of ranch dressing in a PC case once. I say "leaked" instead of leaking, because (thankfully) the pool of ranch in the bottom of the case had long ago hardened into a faintly pungent epoxy. ...this was an actively used PC up until our reclamation brought it around...so...

I don't know how much they'll be. You'll need to do some digging in the used market near you. If you want to do that on the site I linked, Go to bazaar -> classified's for sale.

Here's a listing on that site for an i3-3220, an h61 motherboard, and 4GB DDr3 for 4,000 rupees total. The guy doesn't want to ship, so you probably can't get this one. I just wanted to show you can probably get what you're looking for within your budget...
