Another thing to consider,
Prices of 390/X Cards are dropping a bit, if Power isnt an issue, and 8 GB 390X w/ 3rd Party Cooling for the same price ($250-$280) is well worth it, and it will have the power and memory bus to use all 8GB without a problem.


I may hold off till tax return time to build my Zen Rig.

But My brother's rig has been handicapped for months now since his AiO Cooler pump failed and the FX 8 Core became cemented to the water block and cracked and likely pulled some pins off when removing it, we used his old Phenom X2 Spare because I had no budget to buy a new one.

He may or Maynot get my FX8350, but I'll likely keep my current system w/ 1x MSI Lightning for studio stuff, so I wont have to re-activate everything (3Ds max, Vegas, etc etc).

New Rig will be Zen CPU Hopefully (at least 8c/16t), DDR4 (24+GB), and a fairly decent GPU (Vega Likely)

1 Screen + Oculus + Windows 10 to Run Xbox One Cross Buy Titles.
