[QUOTE="Fabian Wosar, post: 790201, member: 24327"] Yes, decided to go with AMD this time. Mostly because the high core counts help me out so much. I was actually considering going with 16-core Thread Ripper for a while but ultimately decided to go with "just" a Ryzen 8-core. I do a bit of gaming as well. Nothing that would require a Vega though. I just got a killer deal on it and got the GPU new with a 60% discount at the time for about $250. That was just as much what a more low-end card would have cost. So why not? :) The good thing is, that since the card is way too powerful for the games I play (mostly MMORPGs, like World of Warcraft and Black Desert Online) I get away with massively reducing noise. Even when gaming the system is pretty much silent, as the loudest bits (PSU, GPU) never even spin up their fans and the CPU cooler (Noctua NH-D15) spins way below 1000 RPM as well. [/QUOTE]
