Is AMD acceptable for CPU/GPU gaming purposes? Absolutely, it's a perfect solution for cheap PC gaming. Is it just as good as Intel/NVidia at half the price? no. Once you experience what ray tracing is capable of, it's hard to accept anything lesser. Certainly for me anyway. And it is absolutely the future of gaming tech. The next technological step in gaming graphics technology is going to be path tracing. Guess who's already positioned to lead that race? And that's not even touching on DLSS. Which is straight black magic ****ery by NVidia. 30-50% performance increase with no visual decrease in quality. It's really quite amazing what they're doing.

I'm not going to argue GPU because I agree.

As for CPU - I'd argue that AMD is better. I've been extremely impressed with Ryzen. And Intel has had some mishaps over last couple of years with their CPU's.
