Slightly surprised to find out that while the 2700 beats the 2600 in multithreaded performance, the 2600 slightly edges ahead in single thread due to stock clock speeds being higher.

And I thought paying $189 for just the CPU was a good deal. 😔

Your email address is not valid for redemption of promo code EMCXTETW2.
The item(s) in your shopping cart does not qualify for the discount with the promo code

Whatsup with that?

I already have a 2700X but still... It's the principle.

I'm looking to upgrade my mobo, CPU and RAM since I upgraded to an rtx 2070. Right now I have an i7-3770k. I was thinking of switching over to AMD recently but I'm not too familiar with it. I mainly use my PC for gaming. Would this be a good upgrade? Or should I go for something more powerful?

Your gpu is usually the bottleneck for gaming

Pretty good deal considering a 256gb nvme is $50+. Get a $60 B450 motherboard and some $70 16gb 3200 ram and you've got a nice little system (you will need a GPU though, Ryzen 2700 doesn't have any integrated graphics at all)

GPU is more important than CPU horsepower for gaming. Lots of people are still rocking Ivy Bridge and Skylake and they overclock easily to 4ghz+. Going to a Ryzen 2700 for gaming would not be an upgrade, more like a side-grade. NVME is nice and all but it's not a deal breaker to still rock SATA SSDs

Yeah I know, I was waiting for a CPU mobo combo, but the CPU alone is listed currently on sale for 199... This was too good to pass up. Plus I could probably resell the NVMe drive if I didn't need it, but I think I'll just have to look for a mobo with 2 m.2 slots now.

Hell yeah! "powerful" is relative..single or multi core. AMD is much better bang for the money!

It has been awhile since my last build. Can this SSD be used as the system boot drive? If so, are there any reasons other than capacity that you wouldn't want to use it that way?

Gotcha. Thank you. I built this PC like 10 years ago and I'm shocked I haven't needed to upgrade the CPU/Mobo/ram.
