Really not sure what point you're trying to make here...
I said an overclocked 2600 will beat an 8400, you asked for proof, I provided. Nowhere was this in reference to OP's post, but a response to DCSS's question.

Also, like DCSS said, a 1060 will generally bottleneck either of those cpu's, but the AMD system is significantly cheaper, hence why I generally opt for that in my build recommendations.
To back that point, my 1070ti FTW is still the bottleneck of my R5 1600 at even stock speeds, playing at 1440p.


the first gen ryzen's had significantly worse latencies and consequently performance in games suffered

I'm aware of the improvements, point is if my 1600 isn't a bottleneck, a 2600 wouldn't be either.

Eh, if your trying to rock the modern style (red/black/white) for your living decor you may wanna consider this....

It won't draw the attention away from the decor while outperforming everything listed.

damn good deal.
grab that imo over mine and save a few more bucks, then buy edible paints with the savings for sexy time.
or a better mobo i guess though if your not oc'ing i see no issues either way.

I'd take that ASUS over Zotac any day, but with Nvidia GPU's I'm pretty biased EVGA > Asus > MSI > Gigabyte > Zotac > PNY. Galax is nice but they hardly make cards anymore.
/e just noticed that's a 1070, not a 1060. I'm so fucking bald now.

i've got a galax(y) Tesla card from last decade still running in a Kodi box. Those shits were built to last. No idea about their build quality now though.

Didn't notice it was a 1070 till after, already edited my post.
/e and yes, strix is the best from asus, dual is the equiv to like SC gaming from EVGA or windforce from gigabyte.
