I just recently found a few pennies underneath a small pebble in my backyard. So I decided to build a new rig with a $2500 budget.
But seriously, I’m not sure if I should go ahead and build a rig now or wait. As most of you know the price of parts keep rising. So I’m wondering If I should jump on them now or wait to see if they’re coming back down. What do you think?
I’m considering buying an Intel i7 for the new 1200 socket. I have a 9th generation i5 right now that does decent work. But I feel the part that is holding me back is the choking speed of my mini-ITX's RAM at 2400 MHz.
It seems that mini-ITX rigs have less of a choice with RAM speeds as well. The cases are so tight as well. So I am headed to a m-ATX system.
I have not had an AMD CPU since a 333hz Compaq laptop. Is there a new AMD CPU out to fit in new sockets for upgradeability in the future?
And last but not least the GPU <<Removed by moderator>> prices. My Geforce 1070 is limping. Jump on deck and search or wait?
Thanks
