I understand, but the H610 seems to lack sufficient capabilities for its price. Is it really suited only for office tasks? That doesn't seem right. Also, the 1Gbps Ethernet port is outdated compared to the expected 2.5Gbps standard soon. The Realtek ALC897 audio codec is quite old and the M.2 ports are slow for modern SATA speeds. For someone who enjoys gaming and wants long-term performance, a better option like the B660 might be more suitable than either H610 or H670. Please accept my apologies if this sounds like a negative impression!
In past discussions about gaming rigs, a B660 setup is the baseline, but Asus Prime H610s offer very solid power delivery. The difference between PCI-E 3.0 M.2 NVMe and PCI-E 4.0 isn’t noticeable right now, especially since no SSD currently surpasses a standard SATA SSD in performance during games. The 2.5Gbps requirement seems tied to future tech like advanced streaming or AR, possibly Unreal 5 with DirectStorage. Newer PCIe 5.0 drives are expected to dominate, making it hard to predict accurately yet. Other factors matter more: USB ports and M.2 NVMe capacity. It’s about preparing for growth without overcommitting. For now, priorities lean toward I/O speed and storage options. If you’re on a tighter budget, focus on essentials; otherwise, investing in better audio or faster networking makes sense. For specialized tasks like editing or professional work, those are worth considering too.
