Should I try to buy the Vega56 for 399$/€ or wait for a improved version. My old graphic card died 3 weeks ago. My limit is 400€. Do you think the next improved version of the 56 will cost more?

There are few interesting threads right now and I'm bored out of my mind. I know AMA threads are sort-of frowned upon, but if we keep it /g/ related, it should be okay.

I'm a CS PhD student working in project with alongside a company that makes hardware and software for PCIe-based interconnects. I'm not so into hardware stuff, and more of a software guy.

Ask me anything related to tech or to academia, and I'll answer as best I can.

I'm absolutely retarded.

I just got a letter from my isp regarding this shit.

I even went up on their site and gave them my IP.

Am I fucked?

Why do ricefags exist?

They are the most useless form of Linux user. All they do is make terminal color schemes and set up anime wallpapers. On top of that, they pretend to be good at computers by putting python scripts in their rice screenshots and trying to do everything via the CLI.
Why spend all that time installing a distro designed for maximum configurability if you just want the cool screenfetch logo?

Seriously ricefags need to GTFO.

If you want help:
>Assemble parts list

>State the budget for your build (and country if not USA)
>List games/software you use often, as well as your monitor resolution + refresh rate
>Clarify your goal for build improvements: lower price or improved specs?

CPUs:
No i5 unless discounted
>G4560 - poverty-tier builds
>R3 1200 - Budget builds (<$500)
>R3 1300x - Good stop-gap between the 1500x and the 1200, only get a 1400 if you absolutely need multithreading
>R5 1500x - Good but up to 1600 if you can
>R5 1600 - Best value for higher fps gaming / mixed usage; 1600x if you want higher stock clocks
>R7/Used Xeon/Threadripper - Compute/Multitask/VM/mixed use; Not for just gaming

GPUs:
Coin miners have driven price up and stock down, waiting to buy a GPU might be wiser
>Integrated CPU Graphics - Desktop stuff and very light games
>GTX 1050(Ti) - Lower end budget cards, drop settings on newer games, RX560 beaten by both
>RX570 - 1080p@60~hz maxed, running most maxed older games at 100~Hz
>RX580 and GTX1060 6GB - 1080p@80hz maxed, 1440p@60hz at lower settings; RX580 better in newer games
>GTX 1070 - 1080p@130hz /1440p@60hz at high
>GTX 1080 - 1080p@144hz / 1440p@60hz maxed, 4k@60hz in a few games; Probably the highest end card you need for 1080p/1440p
>GTX 1080Ti - 1440p@144hz and 4k@60hz maxed/high in many games
>Good fucking luck even getting a VEGA right now

RAM:
>Check your Mobo QVL before buying any RAM
>Ryzen CPUs benefits a lot from high speed RAM

General:
ALWAYS LOOK AT PRODUCT REVIEWS!
Always consider an SSD. Try buying a large SSD for what you'd pay for your SSD+HDD combined, and add a HDD later
NVMe SSDs aren't for a faster OS boot, they're for productivity/scratch disk/VMs. NVMe and M.2 are not the same thing, M.2 is a form factor

So who's getting a Vive now that the price dropped? The Rift sale is ending this week but HTC is dropping the price of the Vive. I'm a little annoyed, I just got mine two weeks ago. Oh well, whatever. The thing is still rad though.
