So, I’m dumb as shit when it comes to computer now. I’m operating with some family Christmas money and would like to keep things under a grand if possible. Basically what I wanna do that requires power is being able to game up to running a dolphin emulator well enough, graphical setting higher than like 720p really don’t matter to me, if I can run some sorta newish PC stuff at lower graphic ends fairly smooth that’s perfectly fine just wanna play new Vegas on PC with mods for the first time level. Also being capable of some light video/sound editing would be cool. Plz don’t get too into the weeds here, I’m so behind on stuff it’s kinda funny.
it’s definitely way easier. get an Intel CPU and you dont have to worry about bending the CPU pins on accident.
I would not recommend splurging on a far more expensive Intel chip just to soothe fears about bending the pins on a far more economical AMD chip.
Socket AM5 also is LGA, so no big deal.
ah shit im behind the times
You’d have to be mega clumsy to do that… Really not worthy of consideration for 99% of people.
