Re: Upgrading an Ivy Bridge Sytem

Ryzen 5 5600X, 3600 or Core i5-11400. Surprisingly enough, it's Intel that has the best value at the cheap end and AMD that dominates performance at the high end. DDR4-3600 memory. B550 motherboard. The I5-11400 over the Intel Core i5-10600KF? I understand the 11400 is 11th gen as opposed to 10th g...

It feels tired, its at least 8 years old if not 10. I don't think I need to replace the all the components.

Re: Upgrading an Ivy Bridge Sytem

Unless you are able to snag a higher-tier Socket 1155 chip on the cheap. I would recommend getting a newer platform and CPU as you would get access to DDR4 and M.2 Express slots. I found a new I5 3570K for $90 at Newegg My big question is what should I be looking at for newer CPU/mobo/RAM combo's?

Re: College Football 2017

The CFP needs to add a provision that if they are going to stay with a 4 team playoff that they must be a conference winner. Either that or scrap the whole thing, cut the 1023 bowl games down to 24 and go back to the old way of determining a national champion. 1vs 3 2vs 4 would be more desirable too
