I’ve got one ASRock Z370 PRO4 motherboard, LGA 1151 socket.
I’ve got one Intel Core i3-8100 (3.6GHz, 6MB, LGA1151) box sitting here.
I've got a single 8GB stick of DDR4 Crucial RAM here, running at 2400 MT/s with a CL17 latency.
I've got one Seagate BarraCuda desktop hard drive on hand—it’s a 3.5-inch model with 1TB of capacity, 32MB cache, and it runs on a SATA III-600 interface.
I’ve got one Fortron Hexa 85+ 450W unit here, which carries that 80+ Bronze rating.
One Zalman Z1, featuring USB 3.0 in black, comes with two 120mm fans.
Total: $1187
I guess I should probably weigh in on this, though I'm not entirely sure if anyone's looking for my take. It seems like we're circling back to the same old arguments again, and honestly, it feels a bit repetitive. I mean, maybe I'm overthinking it, but there's a certain pattern emerging here that most people seem to be ignoring. I suppose it's possible that things could go differently if we actually looked at the data instead of just reacting emotionally, but I won't hold my breath. It’s just one of those situations where everyone has an opinion, yet nobody seems to be getting anywhere. I guess we'll just have to see how it all plays out in the end.
