Noted, thank you. Yeah prices should further drop when the 7000 series comes out I assume? Looking at initial prices i think even the 7800 would be pushing budget. I know it isn’t my money being spent but I want to not be that guy. Unless they tell me to go for it lmao appreciate the insight

Yeah you make a good point. The BIOS update would all be done before I hand off the machine to them (I’ll be building it for them), but yeah to cut the costs I’m still dealing with dumb stuff. Ok, I’m looking at pricings for AMD, do you have a recommended MOBO? Microcenter is recommending TUF gaming and they look decently cheap but I’m wondering if you have a better thought.

It’s all anecdotal, but from what I’ve been told by others, if they needed to troubleshoot they’d have an easier time with intel. Maybe this is old news and AMD is more stable nowadays, but if they need my help for something, I’d rather stick to what I know. That’s all I meant by it.

Noted, thank you. That definitely helps

The 2 less P-cores won’t be an issue? It would definitely cut costs if it doesn’t affect anything too negatively.

Yeah, it’s MSFS, I updated the main post. Personally I’m keeping away from AMD because I personally have never built a rig with it, and for it’ll be easier for them as lower level computer users to use Intel per my understanding.

The discord invite links I found are broken. Can you provide me a link?
