While a lovely title that should make the reader believe they are clicking on an article that tries to clear up Generations and the fiddly bits associated with ChipSets, MoBos, and what makes a decent "Now" machine, This is not that article.
No, This is the article that asks the Truly Savvy to keep us from over spending on Bleeding, and Leading, Edge while still allowing one to Future-Proof their machines.
Phantom, if you don't know, Why the Fuck are you doing this?
Great Question! For the past decade I've only bought Gaming Laptops that can hold their own for, say, four years -ish. Example, my current rig that runs SC, among other games, and broadcasts Twitch is a ASUS RoG G750JX. She is 3-4 years old and while still a capable machine, she does feel the drag. I know she's running on Haswell and newer Intel takes us into Sky, Kaby, and Coffee, Lakes respectively.
I have not had to Frankenstein a machine in since the turn of the Century(when did I get so old?). So, Here I am back at the beginning. I can put a machine together, I'm no longer sure What is actually compatible any more.
