Actually if anyone wants a steam code for devil may cry 5 and resident evil 2 make me an offer. Think you need to have an rx570 or 580 in your system

Is there a PC store in Dublin with normal prices which have stock on the spot? A friend of mine is looking for a last minute gift, a RX580.

Unfortunately he needs the card for tomorrow. Ebay seller messed up the order, card went to wrong address in different country...

Your only way of finding one in Ireland will be on Adverts.ie

Good luck!

Looks like it's primarily aimed at laptops. Interesting all the same.

My suspicion is that that'll just be the start. Mobile devices are the low hanging fruit when it comes to mixing and matching. Long-term, I expect this to show up in desktop architectures from Intel as a direct 'our package is better' answer to Ryzen's design.

As per Geizhals price history, they've only been going up in price since August/September

If you're looking to upgrade, check with your motherboard vendor if it supports i5-9600K / i7-9700K

I'll be getting a new motherboard and ram too. I'll probably just splash out on the current price on either 8700k or 9700k. I'm upgrading from a 3570k and hope for it to last me another 5 years like my faithful 3570k did

Why not get a Ryzen 2600/2700 instead?

That socket is good for another 2 years at least (i.e. Ryzen 3000-series will slot right in) and tbh you're better off spending on a good GPU than worrying about your CPU these days.

I shop in supervalu for groceries. They take one4all. I just put away the value in the voucher in cash and use the voucher for the weekly shopping.

We get them in work to be tax efficent so there great in that sense but yeah,it was handy when you could convert to amazon.

Agreed, use them for the weekly shop, and spend the cash saved on tech goodness, that's what I do. Shame they are capped at €500 a year tax free It used to be soo much better many moons ago.

I'm still undecided really, but am a little bit of an Intel fanboy.

I have a 1080Ti so I'm good in the gpu department but the 3570k is currently bottlenecking me hence why I'm currently looking to upgrade.

What screen you got/going to get?
