Thinking about switching from my Ryzen 1600 to that 8600k. Should I wait until Ryzen 2 is released though

Unless your motherboard is not upgradeable(with no so good features), i advise you to keep ryzen and then upgrade to zen2.

I did some tests with my new system, playing with overclock and i got some good passmark score

I have a 120 gb SSD for my C drive and its filled up. I need to buy a new one and transfer the C drive to it....anybody have any suggestion for the brands that are good now? I'm thinking of this one

SAMSUNG 850 EVO 2.5" 500GB SSD SATA III 3-D Vertical Internal Drive MZ-75E500B/AM - Newegg.com

I have this samsung evo 850 evo 1Tb on my pc but this one i leave as gaming library and use the adata as system disk.

I'll take a look at this new intel optane 900P pcix ssd to put as my default, these things seem to be the best of the beasts

Wait until a 144hz 4k monitor drops. Isn' there 1 coming out soon? Maybe not.

What makes it better than the 4k monitors?

The visual feedback and fluidity of a higher refresh rate is to be seen. 4K is nice too but 1440P is a minor compromise for a huge gain which makes everything look better all the time.

I think it's better to overclock via the bios

I had my desktop built last year for gaming and it's already trash. I disassembled it a few weeks ago and haven't the energy to put it back together. The crashes and shut downs have made pc gaming depressing for me.

You’ve tried the over locking with software before?

What are you specs? I built my computer in 2012 and the only thing I've updated was the GPU. It still gives me great results in the games I play.

no, I always did it through the bios, and used Prime95 to test it
