I currently have a pretty old gaming computer that I want to upgrade because I use this same computer for video editing.
I live in Canada so I'm currently looking at the Ryzen 1600X as the CPU I'm building around in order to achieve the best render times below a $300CAD price point and do some gaming as well.
I'm hearing some rumours that Intel is going to respond with lowered prices on their parts, and if the most important thing in my build is video editing, should I wait? Or should I just take the plunge and start my build with the 1600X?
I'm in no rush as my current computer still works, I'm going to be purchasing parts on sale over the next few months.
And speaking of which, I have a secondary question, if I purchase a CPU and/or motherboard, is there any way to test whether it works if I don't purchase the rest of the items before the return period runs out?
