Keep a loaded 45 behind the counter?

Looks like it will use 6 cores so a 9600k seems a pretty good choice.

If you are buying right now and only play one game, you could check how many threads that game actually uses. If it's not heavily multithreaded then buying a speed binned 9600k would give good performance. However if it was me I would wait 6 months see what Intel and AMD does next.

There are a lot of used GTX 1070's for sale. Good if you can snag one for cheap.

That may be so but you won't be playing RDR2 on high 1080p 60 fps with it. I saw a review using a 9900k, with a GTX 1060 gets 32 fps.

Probably you would need a bigger budget for the rockstar cowboy game if you want to play it with good settings and resolution. With that budget you can play it on a console.

I doubt you will find better performance / $ than a 2500k @ $30

Just had a look at the MSI Unify, it does look pretty sweet. Definitely going on my list.

Well I kind of see what your saying, but it's just for me the term power user and 3400G just don't sit well together in 2019. Power user and high performance desktop to me say moar cores! Overkill is fun! Also a 1050ti is required for streaming Netflix in 4k

I'm confused could you explain to me how the build I specified is nothing like a high performing desktop with the best user experience imaginable?

PCPartPicker Part List CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor ($326.81 @ Amazon) CPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock Slim CPU Cooler ($64.98 @ Amazon) Motherboard: Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI) ATX AM4 Motherboard ($199.79 @ SuperBiiz) Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16 GB (2 x 8 GB)...

Maybe when the old PSU went bang it took out the motherboard?

I'm curious to know your thoughts on the upgrade you made?
