Did tech just shift into 6th gear when I was blinking? There's seemingly so much tech happening and stuff being released I am a bit overwhelmed.
Here's what I have. A budget: < 750 euros. A gpu: 3060ti that I paid too damn much for on eBay -- $%#ing crypto kids. I was this close, this close, to paying nearly 600 euros for a ASUS ROG 1080ti ... it's insane.
Here's what I am thinking.
I'd like to stay with DDR4 as DDR5 prices are insane. I'd like an itx motherboard but matx would do just fine. I am not beholden to AMD. I had eyed the 5600X but it turns out the 12400 alder lake chip is very nearly 90% or better the performance for about 2/3rds the price! But if I went alder lake are there any good itx/matx motherboards that do ddr4?
main use cases:
75% gaming / 25 % productivity -- I plan to dual boot windows and linux. That reminds me, for alder lake, it's win11 or bust right? Anyone selling a win11 key?
Oh last thing I am located in Berlin Germany.
