Hi I'm new to the forums (my first ever post!).
so I'm think of building my first ever pc but having done some research, AMD Zen and direct x 12 caught my eyes.
answering my question will help me decide to either build my pc in Christmas or wait for AMD zen to come out. (I'm a student so I cannot really afford intel products so ill stick to AMD products)
1) I read that AMD Zen comes out in 2016, but does anyone know the month?
2) how much will zen cost? will it be good value like the AMD FX processor?
3) my friend says direct x 12 will make AMD CPUs and GPUs better than Intel or Nivida, is this true? if so how?
4) should I expect much from AMD new zen? or is it just all talk?
5) will the new Zen processors use a lot of power like the AMD FX?
6) i never overclock on a pc, so do i need to buy a good CPU cooler or just use the one that comes with the retail CPU? (non related to title topic just a newbie question)
