Buying anew gaming PC, unfortunately due to the fact I have to pay monthly I will be ordering from dell/alienware.
I've been out of the hardware scene for a long time, and I'm just trying to decide between getting a I7 7700k, 16gb, gtx 1080 for $66/mo or with a 580 for $54/mo, or get a Ryzen 7 1700X, 32gb, and a 580 for $57 a month.
IIDX is pretty cool but I'm not sure what that has to do with anything else in your post

Nothing really, I just wanted to give this thread substance beyond my question. IIDX is pretty cool, indeed.
If someone would answer my question, though, I would be forever grateful.

>580 If you meant 980, then either is fine. Unless you plan on doing other workstation stuff stick with intel. Ryzen is better for CERTAIN multicore workloads and if you don't understand the implications of that you don't need it.

>mfw 7th Dan never ever The Safari is really the only barrier there and it's pretty easy to mash once you learn how, just practice it on its own

A few reviews/benchmarks I've read have placed the 1800X in-between the 7700k and 6900.
And no, I mean't AMD 580.
I guess another thing I want to know is: With the Ryzen platform, I've heard 1) It scales performance with RAM, more high speed RAM = faster processing. 2) It's supposed to get better with time as they work out driver/software kinks. 3) More games are getting to be optimized for higher core counts. Going forward, what will last longer? A 7700k or a 1700X?

Why do you have to pay monthly?
Caleb Young
Because I don't have a huge chunk of cash saved up, but I can afford to pay monthly.
