I understand the alphabet you’re using but none of it makes any sense.

I will work on my Americanese accent...essentially, in GOTspeak, "it should be fairly sound, frandelinho."

*voms a bit*

I get reflux when I read the phrase frandel too. Aids whoever invented it.

Unless you have friends who are also going to buy it, swerve Wolfenstein Youngblood.

Solo player is a myth which basically punishes you with imbalanced difficulty for not having a co-op buddy.

Gone is the Wolfenstein where you could stealthily clear an area with well placed silenced head-shots, over half of enemies in any given area have bullet sponge armor right from level 1, so guns blazing is damn near impossible too.

Nice one Bethesda

They are sellouts for sure. 10 minutes into Fallout 4 and I realized it’s all downhill from here.

New collosus was boss thought no?

Please say yes... I picked it up dirt cheap this weekend!

Guts for the new PC on the way today (on Sunday!? thanks Amazon) and tomorrow.

MSI B450 Tomahawk mobo (don't need PCIE 4.0 or SLI capability so 570/470 chipsets out the window) It has BIOS flashback so don't need another AM4 proc to possibly update the BIOS for the 3700X since the B450 chipset has been out a year or so. Not a shiz-ton of RGB nonsense on it and it's about the best value board out there.

Ryzen 7 3700X

32GB HyperX PC3200

Sorted...we'll see how long AMD can hold my trust.

I understood all that GSG.....

I got the mobo down from that and am currently debating whether I need to spend an extra $200NZD to splurge on the 3700X or just stick with the 3600. Considering I am on an i5-6600k either is going to be a massive upgrade!

Oh, also you made the right choice.....if you want a B450 board then MSI make the best board in each price point.

Mate just get yourself a 4200 and be done with it.

Battlefield V ( 64 player online) is absolutely addictive.

RDR2 is basically GTA for Brokeback mountain. I basically spent my time shooting people and skinning animals and then falling off a mountain cos my horse is crap. CBA.

I really only got the 3700X to future-proof a bit and the fact I dabble in vid/sound/image stuff here and there, so the extra cores won't immediately go to waste. There's nothing wrong with the 3600 for gaming at all. I'd have to go look again but the 3600 might even have a higher base clock (X model does, by 200MHz) than the 3700X. I'm coming from an i5 2500k so it should be a nice boost, particularly for rendering. Waiting on the RAM and proc as I type, since I'm on vacation this week *coughcoincidentallycough*.

This is the first full upgrade I've done in LONG time, that 2500k has been no slouch...reminds me of the old Radeon 9700 Pro that I had for ages before I had to ditch it. You were lucky to get 2-3 years out of a whole system in the early 2k's, so I can't complain.

Crusader Kings 2 gets very peculiar sometimes....

Expanding into Iraq and I find this fella....a bear? Parent's are human, kid is human and his missus is human....but he's a bear? Granted him one of my new counties, demanded he converts to Shia and then married off one of my daughters to him as a secondary wife.

Because Bear.

Overclock it and problem solved. Dead easy this computer stuff.

Nah....3600X has a higher base clock, but the same boost. And the 3600 has the same base clock, but a lower boost.

I had a 2500k back in the day! When I bought this here current system, I really goosed up on the motherboard and went cheap without really thinking about it, so I have this 6600k, well known for its overclocking prowess plugged into a motherboard that doesn't allow overclocking because the VRM's are basically super thin pieces of wire :/ Oh, and basically no PCI-E lanes either....so this here 1060 GTX is being bottlenecked royally as well.

Needless to say, when I order my 3600/3700X (but probably 3600) tomorrow, I am in for a mega increase in performance when I put it together this weekend!!!!!
