I suggested to my friend that he should look into the new AMD Ryzen CPU. But I am not sure if Ryzen would be all that great for him, He likes Intel but I do think that he should give Ryzen a chance. I think that with I guess BIOS Updates, Drivers, Patches for games or hardware, anything that would improve a Ryzen chip for anything, That some programs would be better with "age". But I could be wrong, I like to keep an open mind, And I just want to suggest the best bang for the buck for my friend.
I also suggested to not get a micro ATX Mobo, So that there is more upgrade potential. Also, So that he does not have to end up buying a new computer if he cannot upgrade with the mobo in his selection.
Please advise me to tell me what I should let me friend know. If there's anything that could be changed from the list he gave me to post.
