Why are you guys going the Ryzen route vs Intel? I thought Intel still held the advantage

They do (Intel). Their i9s are crazy. There's just a vocal AMD crowd on here. They're not right or wrong, it's just they have a bias toward AMD.

This forum has been crazy pro Intel for years and has been shytting on me for it. It's just that in certain arguments, Ryzen is the better buy for the money.

Gaming Only? Go with Intel.

yeah so I finalized my build and ordered it

CPU - i7 7700k
GPU - EVGA GEFORCE GTX 1070
MOBO - ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VIII HERO
SSD - SAMSUNG EVO 250GB
HDD - WD Blue 1TB SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 RPM 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch Desktop Hard Drive (WD10EZEX)
RAM - 16GB CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR4
PSU - EVGA 600 B1, 80+ BRONZE 600W
CASE - Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-02 Mid Tower Gaming Case


Note brehs: I've NEVER had a "top of the line" gaming pc. I've never had enough money, always had decent comps but I've always had to play on lower settings. I splurged and finally did it. I'm super excited.
