Just a word of warning - I implemented this in my car, and ran into a few hurdles:
1) Audio output was too quiet, haf to crank my stereo to 100%. Installed a USB soundcard ( https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-External-Adapter-Windows-AU-MMSA/dp/B00IRVQ0F8 ) to correct the issue.
2) Calling support is limited! Just launches speakerphone on your phone, no bluetooth audio support for calling.
3) I had trouble finding a power adapter that wouldn't trigger the lightning bolt (bad power indicator) in the upper right of my screen when, especially since the phone pulls power through the Pi. Oddly this one worked fine: https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Charger-Charge-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B01KZHKF4I
4) This issue is probably limited to my exact car, or my model of car ( 2010 Hyundai Elantra Blue), but: after connecting the setup, within 5 minutes a light would fire in my dash indicating one of my TPMS sensors had disconnecting. Removing the Pi setup would clear the light within 5 minutes. The sensors operate on 315 mhz; no idea how the Pi setup could be interfereing ( tried a Pi2, Pi3, and Pi3b+ w/ Official 7" LCD ). I am probably the only person on earth who will experience this, but figured I'd report anyways.
5) Heavy Waze + Spotify user here; the entire setup would shit the bed if there was too much going on in Waze (traffic, cops, accidents would trigger massive audio tearing). Other users report similar experience on this front.
Overall, cool project, but I retired my setup!
Would it not be more worth to just get ryzen 3600 for 10$ more?

My default maneuver here is to just replace the drive so there's an intact and ready rollback that takes no time at all, especially because HDDs are so cheap anymore that a decently sized drive could be purchased on Amazon for [$50 with one day shipping], and [several other] drives are available in a similar price bracket with the same shipping.
Saves a shitload of time, especially when it's just that one thing you missed in your backup and it's easy to transfer.
You can also do the same on the low end.
$87 i3-9100F vs $80-$85 Ryzen 1600 that has been silently revised from 14nm to underclocked Ryzen 2600s. I suppose the only downside is that the new "12nm" 1600s use the 2600's stock cooler, which is worse than the original 14nm 1600's cooler, but in return, you get all of the 6C/12T Zen+ benefits. And you can OC the RAM on a ~$70 B450 board (~$60 if you don't need VRM heatsinks) as well to further crank up the IPC.

I could see the arguments against the 1st gen Zen, but a Zen+ that can be OC'ed to match or exceed 2600's specs? I've seen someone argue that the i3 was still worth getting for gaming with the basis of "no one should be upgrading their PC shorter than 4-5 years between the builds/upgrades" and criticized my plan of upgrading from the 14nm Ryzen 1600 to a used/discounted Zen 3 chip when AMD moves onto Zen 4/5.
If we assume that karma is stored in an int32_t (so a maximum of 2,147,483,647 karma per post) the karma value of one post would be stored in 32 bits or 4 bytes. Keep in mind that it wouldn't be relevant if the post gets 2 or 2 million karma, it would always take the same amount of space. So the only thing that matters to get a ton of karma is the amount of posts you make.
If we take a 1TB WD Blue hard drive (like this one) which weighs 1.61lbs (or ~0.73kg) according to Amazon, we have to get 1,000/0.73 = ~1,370 hard drives.
If we further assume that only karma values are stored on it and we can use the full space of the drive (10^12 bytes), we have ~2.5*10^11 (or 250 billion) post we can store per drive.
So to get a ton of karma you have to make 2.5 * 10^11 * 1370 = 3.425 * 10^14 (or 342.5 trillion) posts.
EDIT: If we take larger (which you can find in servers) or lighter (for example SSDs) hard drives you'd have to make even more posts.
Yes, RAM is considerably cheaper right now. Built my rig in FEB2018 - paid $200 for 16GB - have enjoyed using my computer since day 1 - not complaining, price was what the price was :p
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz C15 Desktop Memory Kit - Black
FEB2018 $200
JUN2019 $80
> Tell that to the 26GB repo of a Unity game I cloned with the complete history.
It would cost you $1.20 to store that repository locally.
If you buy this corsair https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0134EW7G8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 and the current 99.99 SSD ebay deal, it will be the same price. So imma go fancy and get the RGB ones.
While technically correct for the most part, this comment seems to be exaggerating things a bit. You only need three USB ports for Rift out of the box, a fourth port only if you buy a third optional sensor. You don't need a usb2.0 at all, you can run headset and two sensors on usb 3.0 fine and if you buy a forth sensor it will automatically downgrade it to a usb2.0 with the included extension cable it comes with.A $20 pci usb card can be purchased if there are any USB issues at all. Stating HDMI"1.3" as if it would be any different than any HDMI that would ship on a compatible graphics card is also a bit intimidating to those who would think '1.3' is something different. If your newer card happens to only have display-port (rare), or you are already using HDMI for your monitor and you don't have a second HDMI out, you can use an adapter to go displayport to hdmi to either the monitor or Rift.
For most people its only the $160+ graphics card that is the main upgrade needed.

$123 for a USB 3.0 PCI card? For my rift, I bought a card specifically recommended on the Oculus site for about $25 from Amazon. No tracking problems for me personally.
too high buddy. $85 new from Amazon.

For those who don't know, the R5 1600 got a silent 12nm Zen+ refresh that puts it closer to the 2600 more than the original 14nm Zen 1 R5 1600, and it's only $85: https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD1600BBAFBOX/dp/B07XTQZJ28/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=ryzen+5+1600&qid=1576909638&sr=8-2
You can also tell that's the new listing because of the low amount of ratings.
More info about the 12nm silent refresh: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/thats-ryzen-af-some-old-amd-chips-might-be-getting-a-12nm-makeover
I only have a EVGA 500w 80+ certified PSU. That is too weak for the Fury, right? I can sell this PSU to my business (I need to build a new computer for it anyway) and use that money toward a better PSU if I wanted but what would be a good (and relatively) cheap PSU to run the fury. I prefer Newegg or Amazon Prime.
EDIT: Fuck it, I pulled the trigger. Was sitting on the money to buy XFX/Nitro+ 480 but I've been rocking this 6950 for too long and I'm tired of waiting at this point. This seems like a killer deal for $275 and free shipping (I used the Paypal promo). Here's to new GPUs!
Right now, the 3300X. That being said, it's probably $15-$20 more than it should be due to limited availability. If you want the best of both worlds, the 3600 is $266 with free delivery from Amazon AU.
https://www.amazon.com.au/AMD-Ryzen-3600-Processor-100-100000031BOX/dp/B07STGGQ18
Yes, with an RX570 you won't see any real difference in gaming performance since the GPU will hit a limit before the 3300X does. With a 5600XT/2060 you might see a small amount of improvement, especially in CPU intensive games that you play on competitive settings, which does include R6, Valorant and CSGO.
I get you want to spend the least amount you can now and ideally want to buy from a local store but the price gap between the two should be around $85 and it's currently just over half that.

Also note this is most likely a 2600 in disguise
Rift S is a nice pickup and the natural progression looking to move up from PSVR. Your PC specs are great for VR, and it will be a massive improvement from PSVR in all areas.
You may want to consider a RiftS-dedicated pci-e usb3 card for your PC to ensure optimal bandwidth and power is delivered to the Rift S such as below; this will improve performance and reliability. Most motherboard chipsets are not up to the task in this regard, so it's a great $20 investment many overlook. The one linked is known to be one of the best performers for Rift S. Note if you do get this don't install the inateck drivers, just use the Microsoft ones that auto load after installation: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B6ZCNGM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_OVPxDbTW1ZJ2E
No it is not, 55% sale is bullshit, in fact - regular price on amazon de is cheaper:
Plain Black Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 CL16 I just bought from Amazon is currently $85

No1 selling adapter on Amazon. #2 is the metal cased version for a little more.
Cause I am dumb and didn't realize that Amazon lists this drive as one item with two options. First time I looked it up it said 7200, second time it was 5400 but I didn't realize til I opened the box.
https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Cache-Desktop-Drive-WD10EZEX/dp/B0088PUEPK
My poor boot times :-(
Not sure why this is a deal at all? $159 at amazon for the newer, better looking, C15 version of this ram.
edit: didn't see RGB, however $5 more for CL15 seems like a logical choice.
You can purchase the 1600 AF, which uses the same 12nm process as the ryzen 2xxx, which means you can change its clocks to match the performance of a 2600. The 1600 AF is sold for $85 on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Stealth-YD1600BBAFBOX/dp/B07XTQZJ28
bruh Valuing your ram at more than double the price on amazon right now, and some of your other parts are also prices above the current going price on amazon or newegg, prices could use some fixing
It is also in amazon if someone is interested
People buying on Amazon, be careful: the 5400 RPM one is $45, but the 7200RPM is $54 (was 49 until this morning).
You need a usb hub my man. Not enough power on your mobo usb. Look on amazon. Here it is.

I was originally going to go with the 3600, but it was either out of stock everywhere, or even more expensive than the X variant. So I just went with the 3600x.
Edit: Looks like the 3600 is $170 on Amazon at the moment which is a pretty good deal.
