I'm still using an old i5 system from circa 2013. It does fine (I only play older games), but I think it may be time for a new build (and newer, higher Hz monitor).
Some general questions I have:
raw performance: AMD or Intel?
PPW: AMD or Intel?
GPUs: AMD or NVIDIA?
storage: Form-factor/format? NVMe, M.2 vs. 2.5" SATA, etc.? Lots of changes to learn about here.
I'm doing reading on my own (starting on Anandtech), but I find it's all a bit overwhelming, even for me (lots of cores in modern-day CPUs, new technologies, etc.), so I thought I'd also post here.
