Please update once you figure out where to buy it and at what price

Thanks for the advice guys. But that's stuff I sort of already know (as mentioned in my post). Sorry! What I needed help is with concrete options and product name including availability and pricing. Have done research myself and most things recommended end up showing out of stock or too pricy...

Guys, will be upgrading my 5-yr old i5-2500k rig to Ryzen R5 rig in the coming two weeks. Problem is much simpler since CPU is almost finalised. So only need to figure out the motherboard and RAM, and PSU and Cabinet. Cabient is the trickiest because its a bit difficult to figure out options...

The key question (as it always is) is, when does Zen2 get launched? And will there be significant benefits ? Q1 2018 ? Q3 2018 ?

Ditto. Started with biotic for crowd control; couldn't burst down shields fast enough to use biotics, so switched to tech. Am using incinerate, overload and singularity for crowd control. Guns, I am using sniper for most battles since i prefer hitting at a distance. Get too close and its easy to...

So how does one decide between the R5 1600/1600x and the R7/1700 ? Base clock speeds ? TDP ? Cooler ? For a person who plans to overclock and who doesnt plan to overclock ? For context, planning to upgrade from 5 yr-old i5 2500k, primarily for gaming purpose. So while any of the above 3 should...

What about combat ? Which tree did you prefer most ? Combat, Biotic, Tech ? 3 powers only is such a downer. What about guns ? What was playstyle for combat ?

Where and how much for ?

Thanks all! I wasn't the OP though (just FYI) ... hope his issue gets resolved as well.

@rakesh_ic, which softwares did you use to track downloads and to block the windows service ?

I completely agree. It is AMDs fault. The distributors for the two products aren't different after all, are they ? Same guy sells both. I had mentioned this earlier as well, same was the case with R9 390 and GTX 970. In fact, I even have doubts that the distributors could do it. Why is this...

Lol! Really? That big of a correction ?

Sigh, I know what you mean (sort of). Been waiting to play Witcher 3 for almost like 6 months now. Needed a new card since last September and kept pushing and waiting for first prices of GTX 970 to improve and then for Pascal / Polaris visibility... still no cigar!

Thanks for the tip. Regarding the Swans, I have always heard it said they dont do high volumes or bass very well. How true is this for the 3 speakers you mentioned ?

This makes me sad and confused. Why isnt there an option in 10k-15k range for good 2.1 speakers ? Or is this not a legit requirement ? What does one buy if one is not an audiophile, but just needs some nice speakers for movies/gaming/party music ?

Is there an online link to order ?

If you have older generation (before GTX 9xx) and if you are in the market today, there is no point in going 9xx series (custom or otherwise)... a) If you were thinking GTX 970 (22k-26k range), GTX 1060 will be a better option at 25k-28k range - note that GTX 1060 goes head to head (not...

So essentially, for Indian buyers (and given India pricing), GTX 1060 trumps RX 480 as a better buy. (RX 480 is similarly or slightly higher priced than GTX 1060 in India, with similar or lower performance across most benches... also, no AIB cards yet for RX 480 and no visibility when to expect...

Good point. But the inflated prices are not uniform for Nvidia vs AMD. Otherwise you would have seen similar price levels for GTX 970 and R9 390 (overpriced by ~30% uniformly?). But since that is not the case (in my experience), I wonder whats the issue. One could be lower quantity of AMD...

Makes sense. The whole previous generation GTX 970 vs R9 390/390x, the AMD cards were ~8k higher and never had good availability. GTX 970 was always the more economical and logical card in that range. Your explanation makes sense. Sigh AMD!
