Hi All, Happy New Year!



I want to build new PC, never had AMD CPUs before was always intel hardcore fan but it seems that people recommend AMD these days a lot...

I am not really sure if its even worth saving paying slightly less for AMD? when i get get i7 10k?

PC is for competitive online gaming, like CSGO, Valorant, COD WZ, PUBG etc...

I also want this to be 6+ years future proof

I will be getting RTX 3060 TI when i can get my hands on one



So options i was looking at some recomnded budget MOBOs to go with CPUs

CPU - CORE I7-10700K 3.8GHZ (COMET LAKE) SOCKET LGA1200 PROCESSOR - RETAIL - £349.99

Mobo - MPG Z490 GAMING PLUS (SOCKET LGA 1200) DDR4 ATX MOTHERBOARD - £139.99

Total £490 ($670)

or

CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Processor (8C/16T, 36 MB Cache, 4.4 GHz Max Boost) - £269.99

Mobo - MSI MPG X570 GAMING PLUS AM4 DDR4 ATX Motherboard - £149.46

Total - £420 ($575)

or

CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 3800X Processor (8C/16T, 36 MB Cache, 4.5 GHz Max Boost) - £319.99

Mobo - Mobo - MSI MPG X570 GAMING PLUS AM4 DDR4 ATX Motherboard - £149.46

Total - £470 ($642)



Any advice please? thank you!

Gl with that.

Well my Current PC is like 7 years old and i can play any game on market still

So this is final build

I cant get 3xxx card yet as they out of stock everywhere will be using my old 1050ti for now

Planning on OCing CPU to about 4.5 with fan cooler

That's Cool and all but that doesn't imply the next 6 years will be the same.
Before we had AMD being zero threat. Now AMD has caught up, if cpu's are going to see a boost in performance its now.
For gpu's 1080p@144 was the standard and if you could drop lots of money maybe 2k@144hz, but now things are headed
for a change with the new 3k series gpu's.

I'm not trying to deter you I just want you to be realistic with your request. If your current pc suffices I suggest you hold out.
The fact your coming in saying you want something new then asking for old amd parts tells me a lot. Now the time to save
and get something really nice unless your an editor or a streamer.

I dont really know much to be honest, i just really want an upgrade now while i have spare cash so i can forget about it

New AMD CPUs just dropped 4th quarter 2020. 3800x is over a year old

any particular reason you picked those parts?



ah right...i had no idea lol like i said never had AMD cpu before i though 7 series are the newest lol

Yes, but I'd rather not go into detail about itt.
Fucking exhausted atm, been up all night working and rather not type it all out.
