Oh, boy!
I don't care!
This absolutely belongs in the feed with gaming news, but screw EA. They borked the Star Wars franchise, and they'll do no better than SqEnix with Marvel.
Good to have another fast 2TB SSD available (I know the review is 1TB). Amazon lists the 2TB at $250.
Still waiting for the supposed slump in SSD pricing to show up. Fast PCIe 4 SSDs have been stuck around $130/TB while flash memory prices are reported to be falling about 15% per quarter.
Yep, I think the single chip B650/E will be the way to go. All those extra USB and PCIe connections on the expensive X670/E will be limited by the bridge between the 2 chipsets.
B650 + 7_00X3D will be the best early AM5 for gaming.
I have a couple ELECOM EX-G Pro M-XPT1MRXBK, and on my main system I have a 20+ year old MS Trackball Optical. The common thread is that both have a button under the ring finger that can be assigned to a key. Very useful for gaming. I don't need 5000 dpi or 8000 Hz polling rate.
When I built...
I've been trying to get used to the Steam Deck controls. I'm getting discomfort (not pain so far) in my hands that isn't there with my KB/trackball setups. I don't see myself going with a controller on a desktop system.
