Very interesting coming together of core PC techs, hopefully later this decade, with a load of big players on board.

The two flaws in JayZ's build is the board ... horrible VRM's and it's going to throttle down once that unlocked cpu hits turbo boost mode and the other flaw or bottleneck I should say is the 3000mhz RAM he chose.

Jay is trying to keep it as cheap as possible obviously, and a little detective work seems to show the PSU he picks is not as complete a travesty as I was scared of but its not great either.

Still @Whyme's build is faster and also more durable at the same price. It does have the advantage of not having to all come from Microcenter on the same day though.

The UCIe stuff is interesting @Brian Boru thnaks for the post.

Techspot article referenced at start of video is nicely explained as well.


Was also curious with prices on GPU's coming down a little what the minimum price would be for a system that can at least play current AAA games at 1080P medium/low. Seems I can't get much lower than $750.

Anyone have any thoughts? I3 10100F and B560 could drop it down to just under 700.

The only thing I would like to say is that SSDs don't fail very often. But when they fail, you can lose a lot of data! For this reason, I would recommend that everyone have a backup of their data on a regular hard disk. Last time I've tried salvagedata.com. I can say that their platform helped me to recover 99.9% of the lost info. It was very easy to use, and also it was very effective. I think that nowadays, it's the best platform that can recover the data that you lost. It can solve a lot of problems regarding the SSD or RAM.
