My i7 3700k will be retired. Debating between the R5 3600 or R7 3700x. The 3600 is so damn cheap,  and if Ryzen 4000 will be socket AM4 then I'll have a nice upgrade path 2 years from now when six cores won't be enough. 

Wouldnt be better to future proof and go with the 3700x or even the 3900x with its 12 cores? The ps5 is rumored to have an 8 core cpu and that’s a year and a half away.

3 months ago i built a new rig with a i7-9700k paired with a 2080. I am kinda mad at myself now because I wish I had waited for these new Ryzen CPUs. The 3900x paired with a new X570 MB would been perfect.

I need to just buckle down and get one I guess. I have a 4GB external standard drive, but not SSD. 

Go for it!

I have an external 4 TB too for all my other games but I just recently bought a 500GB Samsung ssd for 109.99 at Best Buy and have just Division 2 and Destiny 2 installed on it. You will love the difference in loading times if you play these two a lot.

One thing that is a little jarring on console is the constant pop-in of items, especially when running around the White House. Stuff on shelves or tables will pop in when your just a few feet from them. 

Yah the texture loading can be a problem if not installed on a ssd. 

I am playing on my X installed on an ssd and I have no issues with texture popping. The game loads so much quicker too when installed on a ssd. Didn’t think it would be that noticeable but for games like Division and Destiny, ssd has been a god send.

Boogie tore his ACL. He will probably play limited minutes when he comes back and he's not a normal center. Boogie can stretch the floor so I dont see how it would ruin small ball as long as Boogie checks his ego. 

It was actually his Achilles which for a big man who already had weight issues is gonna be tough to come back. It’s weird to me no one else gave him better offers then the $5 million GS is giving him. I have read his rehab is not going as fast as he thought so maybe other teams know something. Either way, he won’t be on the court till late January or February anyway. 

Todays NBA is so weak though. These Warriors have no self respect what so ever. An entire organization full of bitches. They need an all star team to beat teams. KD ruined the NBA with his decision. 

Been watching Basketball since the 80’s and I couldn’t imagine guys like Bird joining the Lakers after they beat them or magic joining Celtics. Can you imagine Isiah Thomas back in the day joining the Celtics because he kept getting beat by them? Could you imagine Chris Webber joining Lakers after lakers beating kings in the west finals? Hell No.

He needs Kawhi + another star + decent role players (they'll lose their good youth in a kawhi trade) to even compete with GS and Houston. 

Spurs have no leverage though. Lakers will

offer Brandon ingram and probably afew picks and Spurs have to take it or he walks. I mean he has already said he wants to play with lebron and the Lakers. Kuzma, Lonzo, hart and Randle are all off the table. BI will most likely be the odd man out because Spurs like him the most. 

Lebron trusts Magic and Rob Pelinka enough to sign 4 years with the lakers.
