Hey all, I just want to confirm one more time that this is a good setup for 1080p, 60FPS on High graphics for most AAA titles for the next 2 years. Max looking to pay is €1500.
Obviously the PCIe slot provides extensive upgrading options in the future, but before buying the mobo I want to be sure that the AM4 socket will give me good options to upgrade, processor-wise, in 2 to 3 years.
