whos this rando
saying intel and single stick of
memory
the fuck is going on

I'm feeling a bit sheepish now... I would like to pm if you have opportunity as I'm not wanting to steal or drive this forum away from OP's needs, but I would like to inquire around this same price point and know more of thoughts of multi-channel ram actual benefits and not just theory of the benefits it should produce as gaming shows no real evidence of them not being equal in comparison.

To OP- my input was without knowledge of 5600x/5800x. In past AMD had been known to be better price/performance of course, but Intel had usually stronger single core speeds.
I'm currently an old FX-8350 (gtx 1080 after using hd 7870 2gb for 6 of 9 years owned) user and been researching into best budget build for my teenage boys. Have been pondering 10100 vs 10400 with 1660 Super meeting around $800 price point with budget 24" monitor being included in price. LGA 1200 socket boards as stated chosen due to Intel staying next gen would be same socket and wanted budget mobo with WiFi (micro or mini being cheaper) so chose single channel memory for ability to add another 16GB stick in future too if board only included two ram slots. Sad that 10100 even would be an upgrade for my fx8350. Lol

So budget has changed....

Using my $800 uniform allowance for work, sold my xbox one + ps4 + switch for $500

Now have $1300 total to fuck with, thinking updating current pc and making the new one with that budget.

Current PC:

i7-6700k OC'd @ 4.5
RTX 2080 Super

Gonna swap out the 6700k for a 5800x + mobo or 5600x + mobo to pair with the 2080 Super

Then use the OC'd 6700k + mobo with the 1070 in the new pc(that actually used to be paired together) So Ill have $700+ to build out the rest.

I think this budget will give me 2 good builds

Damn microcenter has the 5000 series in stock and I’m stuck at work next 2 days
