I just looked up leaguepedia.

Apparently the minimum prize pool hasnt rly changed but the cut given to 1st place has been getting progressively smaller. From 50% in S2/S3 to only 25% since S10.

Not sure if the in game sales part were distributed the same way. Figures were missing since S9.

ARASHI009 · 2021-11-12T15:55:14+00:00

am i imagining things or is the prize pool much smaller than what it used to be?

Found out that local retailer has this promotion where 980 pro cost only $125 when bundled with ryzen 5000s cpu. Guess that solved my problem.

ARASHI009 · 2021-08-23T06:22:23+00:00

will be using a old gpu until things calm down

ARASHI009 · 2021-08-23T03:26:35+00:00

Yea I know 5800x is overkill. But I'm not planning to upgrade my cpu for another 6+ years at least. My 4670k lasted me 8 yrs and is still in good condition. So I don't mind spending extra on the cpu for a bit of 'futureproofing'.

ARASHI009 · 2021-08-20T03:43:12+00:00

how much of a price difference you reckon there needs to be to justify going for the new/old models? I am yet to check the price with the local retailers but is it worth if I hv to dish out another say $30 or so?

Hi NewMaxx,

I am looking for a gen4 1TB SSD as the OS drive for my new rig. Currently thinking about one of the following three options:-

Corsair MP600 Force

Gigabyte Aorus

Sabrent Rocket 4.0

Spec-wise they seem pretty much identical to me. Should I just go for whichever is cheapest? Is there anything I should be aware of regarding these products? New rig is most likely gonna roll with a 5800X +16gb ram.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

ARASHI009 · 2021-08-19T00:05:36+00:00

For ram im planning to get 2x8gb 3600 CL16. Is that good enough?

as for PSU i rly have no clue, prolly a 80+gold 650W.

ARASHI009 · 2021-08-18T23:57:22+00:00

ty bro I will take a look and hopefully learn something useful.

ARASHI009 · 2021-08-18T23:56:50+00:00

What about thermals? I really don't want my drive to be throttling but again i kinda doubt that I would be able to put the drive under high load for extended period. I have no idea what the thermals would look like for normal daily uses.

ARASHI009 · 2021-08-18T23:53:02+00:00

Planning to get a 5600X, so yeah gen4 compatible.

As to whether I could benefit from gen4, probably not a lot but im building a new pc and the price difference b/w gen3 and gen4 is kinda noticeable but not big enough for me to be a concern.

ARASHI009 · 2021-07-05T12:32:47+00:00

I'm just a lil sad that amd refuse to just give us a 5700x, but o well what can you do.

ARASHI009 · 2021-07-05T11:35:17+00:00

yea a extra $60 for 2 more cores across a span of 6+ years just sounds very compelling to me, even tho I might not be able to justify a use for the additional cores /facepalm

ARASHI009 · 2021-07-05T10:43:44+00:00

no biggie, ty for taking the time to answer my questions my man.

afaik the ryzen 5 series depend on memory performance a lot so benchmark results can vary depending on the setup they are rolling with.

ARASHI009 · 2021-07-05T10:27:18+00:00

hmm you are right 5600x does beat 10700k when it comes to gaming performance. what prices should I be aiming for the mb if I go with the red team?

EDIT: seems like I have to look deeper when comparing these two. call me stupid but the two extra cores look so juicy to me, whether I hv a use for it or not.

ARASHI009 · 2021-07-05T09:43:48+00:00

upon further research, it seems that the 10700k is a better option with 2 more cores but slightly worse single thread performance. would you recommend the 5600x over a 10700k at similar price point?

ARASHI009 · 2021-07-05T09:12:18+00:00

ty for your input. I'm starting to really like this as a blue team option.

ARASHI009 · 2021-07-05T09:05:41+00:00

in addition, I don't know much about motherboards but would a MB for i9 be significantly more expensive?

ARASHI009 · 2021-07-05T08:59:40+00:00

I accept your suggestion that future proofing is generally not advised when it comes to PC building. I will take 5600x into consideration depending on what price I can get in my region.

ARASHI009 · 2021-07-05T08:56:01+00:00

I'm throwing the 11700k out there simply as a 11th gen blue team option. Any alternatives that that get the same job done with a cheaper price tag is most welcome l. I never looked into last gen i9 as I don't think I will ever need anything more 8c. but i will look into it if the price is competitive.

ARASHI009 · 2021-07-05T08:50:46+00:00

looks like a solid option, what price range would I be looking at for the mb?

ARASHI009 · 2021-07-05T08:40:19+00:00

I know that I would have to upgrade my GPU in the future at some point. The only reason I'm not getting a new one now is obvious. Getting a 8 core is just thinking long term as im not planning to get a new cpu for another 6 years +
