The Mid-Range build is excellent. You would have asked me 5years ago, i would have said AMD was done. Boy was i wrong.

Great job HH, guide kinda needed a refresh.
Considering the Deepcool with its anti-leak, when someone like Corsair covers all hardware that gets damaged if the aio fails, i dont know.
Sure, its the same asetek stuff (pump design etc),
But at least i get the money to replace any broken parts,
which Deepcool/others dont offer (afaik).

Too bad the writers of such guides don't regularly show their popular faces in the forums, or do they and I just miss it?
Good guide, I wish I had something like this when I started building my own rigs some two decades ago!

Someday, we want to see/know who is now behind Guru3D team.
So many new names, vast majority thinks that HH is one man orchestra (and for sure he is).

Nah! HH is living the life in the Bahamas, remotely controlling his huge business and fortune.

My oh my, how fierce the battle is!
The High-End Gaming from 2018 was a battle between AMD Ryzen R7 2700X and Intel's i7 8700k, but this year is 3700X vs 9700K.
Below that AMD is leading, and in the HEDT well, I'll leave you to hear Intel screaming undet Threadripper's blows.
