Is it worth buying right now the 5600x which is currently at 255 euro or should i wait for the summer or save a bit more for the i5-12600k which is around 290 but the motherboards are expensive.

As the title suggests -and I know this has been asked before- I am having a problem figuring out if it's a bad PCI-e slot or a bad GPU. I have a MSI Armor RX570 4gb, AMD; and I have been using it normally for the past two years (bought it early 2020). I bought it with one year of usage, but...
Hello everyone,
I posted a thread here earlier where i asked for a build was "future proof" and that could handle games like Rust, Escape from Tarkov, Pubg etc etc with a 144hz monitor @ 1080p while being able to stream on discord.
I'm just posting here one more time because i want to confirm...
So I have been using my Intel i3 6100 for over 4 years now. I think it's time for me to upgrade. To be honest I did not realize that I need an upgrade until I bought a GoPro Hero 10 camera that is capable of shooting in 5.3k 60fps. To my surprise even my 2 year old mid range Onplus 7t phone...

hi all,
So I'm still new to building pc and wanted to know. What's the difference in Intel vs AMD. I know some chips have more cores or threads and need different motherboards etc. But like is there any difference on how they run or operate? Like once their installed and pc running is there any...
Hey I am going for an upgrade for my PC from a very old one (amd phenom II x6 1090t) and I have been considering I5 11600 I have seen stats for it and I think it is performs so good for that price bracket and I have seen that ryzen 5 5600x too and performance is quite the same I think?(although...
Hi,
For a guy that needs a new build (still on i7 -4790) what path would you take, Intel 12900K(F) CPU or AMD Ryzen 5950X ?
I do want to mention that the main focus is NOT gaming, but rather a heavy CPU load intense jobs, like music production.
Also, preferred OS is Windows 10, rather than 11...
Hello Everyone,
I am looking to upgrade most of my system, obviously. I will be keeping the GPU and PSU. (Hopefully RAM too). What do you think I should upgrade to? Stick to Intel or switch over to AMD? Does the RAM need to be upgraded?
Here are my current system specs.
CPU: Intel Pentium...
Hello to experts here at Tom's Hardware, I am planning a build which I'll get the components in three steps.
I live in Iran, so the prices here are a little different compared to the US or other parts of the world, so I will give some examples below.
I currently use a pretty old laptop for my...
I did some research about gen 3 vs gen 4 on GPU's when it comes to gaming performance, aaannd.......there's not really much difference. But how about productivity performance? is there any REAL WORLD difference? Like when it comes to video rendering, because I'm a video editor, and I would like...
Hi there everyone,
I am currently in the market for a PC Build and require your expert help! Not sure if this is the correct forum area for this so apologies if its not!

Greetings!
I just wanted to know, when it comes to CPU delidding, do you really need to strictly use liquid metal or can you use regular thermal paste like the Arctic MX-4, or both? If both can be used, what's the difference? Is there a huge difference in temperatures when you use liquid metal...
Hello everyone!!

Hello guys!
I’m a PC enthusiast for quite some time.
Until mid-2019 I’ve been an Intel “fan-boy”.
But Intel started to lose their marketshare to AMD (and ARM).
The next great platform from Intel that should get us all excited is the Alder Lake CPUs, on 10nm, with PCIe 4.0 / 5.0, and DDR5...
After lot of waiting and a lot of hardship and gazillion questions ,here's my final moment ,i've got the money in hand

Ryzen 5 3500X with 16GB 3200Mhz RAM
I read that the i5...
Title says it all. Also, for the record, I am not actually going to attempt to use / build a machine with whatever CPU it is (obviously). This is just a question I can’t seem to get out of my head for some reason. The CPU requirements are so vague I don’t even know where to start.
Here’s a link...
So, if I buy my components in Late 2021, and they'll be used for gaming, and occasionally school. Would you say I stick with a Ryzen 5000 CPU, snag a higher-end 5000 CPU (or a newer ryzen if possible), or grab a current Intel CPU or a newer intel CPU and (which one?) trying to stay under $400...
Hello all,
I will be upgrading my PC this weekend and have come to a fork in the road. I've only ever had Intel chips in the past, however I am open to either Intel or AMD.
Both CPU's stated above are the exact same price at the moment, so price is not a bargaining chip for either and I cannot...

Microcenter has a deal where the i9 is only 50 dollars more than the 5600x. Is it a good deal? What are the differences in temp and power draw as well as performance? I am coming from a 4690k so anything is an upgrade. Which one is better?
Hello wonderful community!
I've been a part of this community for a while now and I've had the same PC since 2013. The community had helped me choose my parts and even offer ideas for upgrades when I looked for them through the years.
I've recently noticed how I can't really multitask anymore...
Hi Guys!
I was wondering if you might be able to help me? I'm basically wanting to update my PC as it is long overdue (nothing updated in about 6/7 years since it got put together). Due to all the working from home going on my boss has agreed to get some computer components for me to update my...
Hey guys, so my brother has a HP dv6-6120se (I'm 90% sure that's what it is) and I'm looking to get him some upgrade parts to make it a somewhat gaming laptop. What is the best cpu, ram and ssd I could get him? and maybe gpu but I'm not sure if you're able to upgrade that. Here's the link to his...
I narrowed it down to 4
Ryzen 5 2600X
Ryzen 7 2700X
Intel I5-9400F
Intel I5-10400F
Gonna do some light gaming (Call of Duty)
I have a XFX THIC II PRO Rx 5500 XT graphics card
Always used AMD but the i5s were in budget
Does intel (specifically the 10875h) still have better single core performance than ryzen cpu's (4900h) I read that emulators depend on single core performance so I was just wondering which is better ignoring efficiency?
thanks in advance
Hi guys and girls,
my beloved PC is starting to show it's age (built in June 2016) and since I use it a lot, mainly for gaming, I am considering upgrading some components. Recently I bought a LG 34" 144Hz display that is stressing my GTX 1080, and probably my CPU as well.
Im currently running...
I've had my 4790 since early 2015 in late 2014 since it came out. I typically just game but I wanted to play more recent games at higher fps, currently I am looking at investing in a 980ti or just a 1060 and keep my build for another 2 years, but the problem with that is that I will need to...
Hello, in the last year I started learning about hardware.
And today I learned the subject of XMP, a technology developed by Intel from what I understood.
But for some reason this technology exists in motherboards with processors of the competing company of Intel - AMD.
It's a little unclear to...
A couple of my friends were trying to convince me that their motherboards were compatible with both AMD and Intel cpus via a modular component for the socket. I have never heard of such a thing so I wanted to confirm if this is true.
Thanks for any help!

Hello! I'm going to upgrade my pc, but can't decide whenever i should go with intel or amd. My choice is between I5-10400 and R5 3600 (both are falling into the same price category for my country) I'm mostly using pc for games. What should i go with? And which one of these is more future proof?
So I am building a PC, a gaming PC (since it will be mainly used for gaming) and I need help in choosing between Intel or AMD. I tried comparing Intel's processors with AMD's and Intel always seems to have a better score. I am mainly debating between the Intel i5-9600K and the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X...
