I'm planning a PC build for my dad, made for regular usages such as web browsing, streaming, lighter work such as Word and Excel, etc.
However this build us supposed to last quite a while and give him a flawless experience in the tasks he will do.
The build will probably be done sometime between April and May
At this moment, the main computer will consist of:
- Pentium G4620 or G4600 (will use the internal graphics)
- 8 GB DDR4 RAM
- Motherboard with either H110, H170, B150, or B250 (BIOS compabilities will be taken care of)
Then a 250GB Samsung 850 Evo
However people have told me elsewhere that AMD may release their new APUs soon (how soon, I don't know).
But given that there are no hints so far of them, I can only suppose thet won't be launched until sometime in the summer or so (perhaps along the final Ryzen chips?).
So is there any point in waiting extra for those chips? I mean the Pentium chips have pretty good value IMO, so I'm skeptica that AMD will provide similar performance at such lower price that it's worth the wait.
What do you think?
