PC Building Guide and Discussion #12

I thought about grabbing a Ryzen 2600x, mobo, and 32 GB of DDR4 yesterday at newegg (~$445), but I didn't, as I don't know what the upgrade would really do, relative to my i5 6600k (which is also slightly oc'd). I think multicore would be greatly improved, but the rest would likely be a wash, and then I remembered, if anything, I'm jonesing for a new camera.

I'd just consider the i7 version of whatever your mobo would support. On a much older platform I've been quite happy with my 3770k upgrade. Though it does just about nothing at the desktop. Helps in some gaming and the occasional video.

I'm intentionally leaving this past 1k to remind myself to make a new OP this weekend.
