Currently worthwhile CPUs:
>G4560 for budget builds (<$500) unless G4620/i3-7100 is heavily discounted
>i3 are only worthwhile for dwarf fortress and single-purpose emulator boxes
>i5 aren't worthwhile. Get Ryzen 5, drop down to G4560, or up to Ryzen 7
>No R5 1400 unless discounted
>i7-6700k is good but pricey. If over budget: consider locked 7700; not chasing 4.8Ghz+ capable when you weren't gonna overclock, or get R5
>Cheap Z270 board is still good for faster memory in games w/ locked 7700, but aren't for overclocking (VRMs suck)
>R7/Xeon for compute/multitask/mixed use
Currently worthwhile GFX cards:
>RX470-RX580, 1070, 1080, 1080TI
>1060 is worth considering over a 580 if same/cheaper in your country, and/or you just play games it's better on for the price. 1050Ti is for mITX builds
>RX470/570 is usually all you need for 1080p@60hz.
>Nvidia GPU + Ryzen has issues in many games atm
>Budget builds: consider integrated graphics over a card weaker than RX470, unless price/performance is better (discounted/used)
>May for Vega
General:
>No brand/model loyalty. Parametric filters on pcpartpicker can help
>Consider larger SSD-only for what you budget SSD+HDD combined. Add HDD later once needed
>NVMe aren't for faster OS boot. They're primarily for productivity as a scratch disk

Battle of the PCBG, oh joy.
THREAD WARZ BOYS
The other OP even took out the bit about brand loyalty being bad
Should I upgrade my 4790K to a 7700K?
I've got a 240Hz monitor and I emulate a lot of older titles. I want maximum CPU performance, or should I just wait it out for Zen+/Coffee Lake?
Which VPN service does /g/ use?
purevpn, it's not great
>>60038432
Tor
PIA is what I am currently using, it's been good so far.
Although eventually I want to switch to another provider, probably hosted in a country like Switzerland, Norway, etc.
Convince me this is a bad idea.

CPU has throttling issues, and I say this as a macfag. I'd buy the older gen machine, personally.
>>60038168
>CPU has throttling issues
Is that with light or heavy usage?
>I'd buy the older gen machine
I was looking at that but they don't have Thunderbolt 3 sadly
>>60038136
Unless you're doing actually heavy shit, you probably could save a lot of money and be quite happy with just a Macbook.
Is there any good vidya laptop out there that isn't thick as fuck and reasonably priced? Pic unrelated
>>60037927
No.
>>60037927
Here you go, familia
Just wait for this year's macbook pro, It'll come with an up to date Nvidia graphics card in it with the new drivers they have made specifically for macOS.
You'll get the best of both worlds.
- Beautiful, functional, fast laptop
- Best Linux operating system on the market
- Able to play games with GPU-passthrough
Is there any reason to consider anything else?
Which one is better for web dev, /g/?
>>60037734
oh dunno, maybe the one that was fucking specifically made for web dev you fuckface
>>60037734
Django
Anyone that says otherwise is a pajeet
>>60037734
PHP.
So many things can go wrong with python and its not well documented so you will lose time trying to fix it. In web-development a few minutes of down time could cost you millions if not billions.
Apologize.

This shit breaks every time an intern farts on the servers over at Google. It needs to be a bit more robust in analyzing the website than just assuming a certian structure or API result.
Is there any design worse than flat design?
>>60037606
Skeuomorphism
>>60037682
Nope. Skeuo is merely ugly - flat is both ugly and objectively harder and less efficient to use.

Why don't you want to use PowerPC?
>>60037165
no software
>>60037165
I do - but on OS9. OSX is painfully slow on my MDD G4.
