<b>Cracking open a cold one while laughing at my friend's i7 9800X melts, smiling at my FX 6300 chug along</b>,(reply>), I got this FX 6300 back in 2017 with an RX 560 for $550 when I was only 15 and I was saving for a "gaming pc" and didn't know anything about computers at the time. Did I end up overpaying, I know I did now, do I care, no. I enjoy using this computer, its what got me into pc gaming with my friends and now I use it for 3D rendering projects for school on top of it, and I put an RX 580 8gb in it for the extra boost. Im waiting to see how Ryzen 3000 does and then Ill retire it, put the RX 560 back in it, and gift it to my little sisters to use.,(reply>), Loved my 6300, still have it and my board in case I need to build another machine. Only really got Intel because I Craigslisted my way into an i7 so I could have DDR4 and an M.2 slot. That said, I've been tracking 3rd gen Ryzen, patiently waiting for them to finally drop it.,(reply>), @Tyler Bryant We they are efficient, but they are loosing quite a bit of it recently due to these security wholes. <br>Kinda sad :/,(reply>), Good grief, Leon Ali makes the rest of us intel users look bad. Instead of focusing on monetary value can we just appreciate that intel cpus are efficient as hell? Not everything in life is money you know lol,(reply>), <b>Crying at both my i5 7500 and my i5 7300hq, while suspiciouslly looking at my old pre 2011 latitude laptop</b>
