Question Thinking of building a new full size tower with AMD 5700X!

[Harry_Wild]

Yes, that right, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X. See links below as to why:

I don't see a 5700x on the first link if I ask for availability., I see a 7700x for $399 though. I see the second link.

I am confused , as nothing shows why you would build this ????

 

[blckgrffn]

Yep, there is no "Why" here.

The 5700X is a solid CPU, in any case.

Five reasons:

1. 65 watts,
2. PCIe 4.0, 16x Gen 4 slot
3. Lower price on related build items like motherboards, RAM.
4. Native USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) Ports, USB-C support
5. Do not need the extreme power since I do no gaming.

Wait till Prime to see if anything is discounted like a X570 motherboard, RAM 3200, PCIe 4.0 1 TB NuMe, 1K PSU 3.0 just for the future? May settle on 750 watt, non 3.0, however.

Waiting doesn't ways yield lower prices. I did my ADL build a couple of weeks before Black Friday last year and saved $50-100 off what the prices were during the sales season. If you really want lower prices buy before or after not during.

I have a feeling the hype around OCT is for Amazon devices only and some others might jump on the "event" wagon with increased traffic but, nothing like the summer version.

uhm ok, you are building a budget build. Good for you.

Near the Black Friday and CyberMoney that accounts for alot of all sales other then real estate for the type year!

Why a full-sized tower with that CPU?

Room for future expansion since the future going get “hotter inside the box! Maybe I just go to a mid size. It is only about 3” less in dimensions to a middle size box with the same width. I have a hard time find the In Win 909, in silver or black. Out of stock and no longer carry in North America.
