I was looking into putting together a new pc after 6 years from the last time I did.
Prices for cpu’s and motherboards have gone way up.
I figure $1,000 just for the cpu and motherboard to start.
AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-core, 24-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor $614
The AMD-Ryzen 7 5800X 4th Gen 8-core Desktop Processor Without Cooler, 16-Threads Unlocked $447
I will wait as my pc is not really slow at all.
If yours is then add more ram and get a SSD drive.
Windows 10 peecees have become throwaway (the last two have cost me less than $500 combined), the only reason to build one from scratch is for gaming (or as a hobby).
