LOL! The article fails to mention that almost no one is willing to fork over $500-1000 for a new motherboard (just the mobo here!), which is just an insane thought. Geez, my ASUS Crosshair VII x470 cost me around 300€ some four years ago, and I thought that was expensive at the time.

I remember the days when a good mobo cost less than a mid range cpu... And a time when the top of the line GPU cost less than 8 months of my rent... Those are now but fleeting memories of a bygone era.
