    It's the WD Black so I think it's 7200rpm. Not sure if it's running at that speed, though. Sorry for taking a while to reply.

    CPU Advice - I'm Thoroughly Confused

    I wouldn't have room in the M1 with the parts will be using. Plus, that HDD has slowed down substantially from when I got it 4 years ago. Might turn it into an external HDD for mass storage/backup. Well, I didn't make clear when I meant the B450 Strix would be cheaper than the X470. :)...

    Clear as mud! :-) Don't quite understand why the B450 would be more than an X470.... Any idea when mITX B450's will be available to buy? I can't find any info on release dates. Also, why wait for B450's if it has essentially same features but more expensive than X470?

    So if I'm planning on just using SSD or an M.2, StoreMI really won't be beneficial and the B450 would be more than great saving some money at the same time?

    I think it would have to be a 2600X over 2700X based on the price. Big difference there.

    CPU Advice - I'm Thoroughly Confused

    I can't believe all the extremely helpful info everyone has provided!! Thanks! I don't have any other computer hobbies. I would be interested in video editing if I wind up getting a drone that I've always had an eye on. Maybe getting Ryzen would make me more apt to pick up another hobby. I...

    Thanks Elerek for the input. If it's not that much difference in FPS, AMD looks interesting to me due to the fact AM4 will be compatible with future CPU's when they come out. I don't always have to have 144fps in ever single game, but I want the game to look great while still having good FPS...

    CPU Advice - I'm Thoroughly Confused

    Howdy all, First time posting on here. I've been reading through a lot of posts since I purchased a Ncase M1 to eventually build my next PC in. Anyways, that leads me into my question regarding Intel or AMD CPU for a sff build. I've researched many different sites, including this one. I've...
