Finally upgrading my good ol' 4690k. 2600x was my processor of choice. I know it's pretty late and with the new Ryzen processors incoming one might think i could wait, but with 40% import fees and pretty tight budget window, gotta go with this for now.
Should be a good pair for my 1060.
is it worth the upgrade or should stick with intel?
Why is this rated lower than 1600X?
54 bit width, wat?
