depends on your workload, anything but gaming, 3700x, purely gaming, 8700k

Get 9900k instead and 3200cl14 ram 2080ti will be best for a while if you can afford it. Else wait for 2080 super which is out in a couple of days

How much does the CPU matter for higher FPS 1080p gaming? I'm gonna get a 240hz and don't care about higher resolutions whatsoever. Currently sitting on 6700K
I'm going to buy a Ryzen 3700X since it shits on the Intel CPUs (I don't play games), but where the fuck can I buy them? (UK) and which motherboard/RAM do I pair it with?

does anyone know how returning multiple parts to amazon works? I've returned a processor, RAM, a GPU, a case fan and an SSD. They all came in one package so I returned them in one package obviously. So far I've only gotten a refund on the RAM. Do I have to wait until the other items get back to the warehouses they came from before I receive refunds for those?
Is now a good time to upgrade or is there anything major on the horizon? Last time I checked there was the whole hullabaloo over the intel speculative execution exploits so I put it off again.
if you really want the just wait recipe then zen 2+ probably next year Q1/2
Jose Thomas
9900K or 3900X? I only game and emulate, also make memes.
Joshua Smith
I was kinda hoping to order today, is it known when they will become available? I know RTX Super is available on the 9th so I don't mind waiting till then
WHY DOESN'T AMAZON HAVE THE FUCKING PROCESSORS IN STOCK IT'S FUCKING 7/7 YOU BEZOS FUCKING FAGGOT

>bought 3733 CL17 RAM before my other parts because AMD said it was optimal >turns out Infinity Fabric goes into 2:1 mode above 3600 MHz instead of 3733 god fucking damn it
No no you fags cant blame windows every time amd gimps a memory controller
Levi Scott
why does it feel like zen2 is probably not the best that AMD could've come up with and that this is merely the 2 year prelude to the next gen that would do better in single core performance?
Isaac Foster
just wait 5 years when fine wine™ kicks in

Your PC would only use the card you added. Also don't fall for the old meme of more VRAM is automatically better, if your "cheap 2GB graphics card" is something like a GT 730 it's going to be almost as shite as the integrated GPU you're using now.
I already have a 1080Ti and an SSD and all. PC will be used for: >Machine learning, statistical analysis on large datasets. >Streaming >Gaming at 165Hz 1440p As it is, these parts are a bit too expensive for me. What compromise will I see if i go from 3900X to 3700X? Also can't I just get an X470? X570 is very expensive and I don't need PCIe4. And is there any advantage of using 4x8 RAM vs 2x16 RAM?
Can you use 5700/5700XT on PCI-E 3.0? Is there performance loss if so?
Ryder Morgan
>3700X exactly 20 FPS slower than 9900K >3900X exactly 70 FPS faster than the 3700X Huh? Why so much of a difference
Caleb Miller
>The 2GB on the gpu would only be utilized in games.
I don't need it for games. I need it for blender. Is it impossible for graphic chip and graphic card to work together? Like when 2 graphic cards work together.
I don't know the answer but I am bumping up your post cute girl
Jaxson Evans
I don't know amazon. Never order there. But contacting them and being concerned doesn't hurt. They're the best people to ask obviously.
Zachary Hughes
How hot is 3900x temperature? Will it run on higher watt like 9900k?
David Wilson
I'd like to see this over price.
Anthony Wood
What about emulation performance?????
Adrian Jackson
iGPUs don't have their own RAM. That 1GB would sip from the system RAM if it needs it.
The 2GB card would have it's own VRAM, and you'd relieve pressure on your system RAM.

emugen is still resisting, wait until the actual productive part of the emulation community does some tests.
however it should all be improved on AMD given its closeness to Intel
