Currently on the AMD train,

MOBO - ASRock FM2A88M Pro3+
CPU - AMD A10 7860 black

Wanting to change over to the i7 cpu but I am baffled with the options of mother boreds and need guidance.

Price is whatever; just searching for opinions and help towards the right direction.

i think he only needs cpu/mobo?

Stay on the AMD train, it's the one that's not running out of tracks.

If you can hold off 6 months, new AMD cpu's gonna shit all over Intel. I'll put all my FG on it.

Stay with AMD. Get the 2700x or the 2600x if you have to and upgrade when the new series comes out next year. Gonna blow intel away

oh u can read the future
lets see your investment into this

Dude has whatever budget, tells op to get 2700x/amd, wait half year instead of 9th Gen intel
My face when
Shaft is less bald

i mean just trust these guys
they are fortune teller
rlysmart guys who clearly know alot
intel is gona somehow do nothing
and amd will take over ez

Says guys whose always "new hardware soon, wait for my hair to grow before you buy"

quick mobo guide

pick whatever brand u like - ASRock, asus, evga, msi, etc - doesnt matter they are all good

will you overclock? if yes u want a Z370 or Z390 chipset, if not H370 or B360 should be fine

pick whatever features u like: rams slots, m.2 slots, IO shield, RGB, wifi, usb ports..
