Now I'm wondering if I should swap to an Intel i5-9600k instead of the Ryzen 2700? It'd be this: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/developit/saved/x3FWD3

#4:   Author: Sin,  You have posted in this forum: Sat Mar 30, 2019 10:43 am I'm also a big advocate of getting a 144hz+ monitor if youre getting a brand new rig.

#7:   Author: miller,  You have posted in this forum: Fri Apr 05, 2019 8:08 pm I ended up getting a Ryzen 2700x. Can take it back for up to 2 years, we'll see how this goes haha. I figured 8 cores + hyperthreading would be useful for building Chromium, and for most of the games I play it overclocks to within 15% of the i7-9700. Here's the benchmark scores: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/16035724 Overall I'm happy with it so far! Windows is actually.. kinda refreshing? I'm going to dualboot Pop!OS too.
