Looking to build a new PC

[oChalko]

Should i go with AMD or Intel?

I know AMD plans to use the same socket for awhile which seems nice
AMD has is rated 15 of the fastest CPU's

Intel plans to stop using this socket and move on to another at some point in the future
Intel also holds the crown for fastest CPU's on Market compared to AMD

Not to trash AMD but would it be worth it to buy a motherboard knowing they will support the same socket but not be nearly as fast as Intel?

current build is

i5-9600k
4070ti
32GB DDR4

I know your looking at it at the motherboard angle, but in all honesty, get yourself a Ryzen 5800x3D. Not that expensive these fays and get a good X570 board to go with it. Yes it cant be upgraded, BUT that CPU in particular is still in the top best CPU's. Even giving newer AMD products a run for their money. Its still beating just about everything from
intel too. Plus it uses DDr4 which os far cheaper than DDR5.

Once again the only downside is your upgrade path is a total system swap for that path.

Yeah ive got a decent enough system now, i just need to take my cpu further and be able to upgrade it eventually. I know Intel hasnt released the new socket and I cant wait very long but i need a more highend CPU because i can run cP2077 Pathtracing pretty well some stutters but i play a game like The Last of Us and i get stutters very often even on lower settings.

Makes no sense, currently im running a i5-9600k and for most games it does me fairly well but ive been seeing stutters while also having 32GB DDR4 and a 4070ti

The AM5 motherboards cost a bit, but you get the upgrade option. DDR5 ram is cheap and fast.

You can get PCI-E gen 5 for a future upgrade of GPU or NVMe later on as well.

7800x3d is a good choice for gaming.

Could you recommend a decent motherboard option? i feel like i cheaped out on my last one and im not sure if thats also why i see issues in gaming

I have this motherboard from MSI. It have great reviews and everything you need without going overboard on stuff that is not needed.

MSI MPG X670E CARBON WIFI

2 sticks of CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 RAM 96GB (SK Hynix) 32-40-40-84

Ram runs at 6400mhz 1:1 cpu/ram ratio on my 7950x3d And i know i can OC that Hynix kit later if a better Bios comes out later on.

I am using an Aorus B650M Elite AX and have been very satisfied with it. should be down to about $150 these days and fully featured.

I do not endorse the idea of "future proofing" but how quickly things are advancing, you should bite the bullet and start building for DDR5 M2/NVME etc.

i would wait for arrow lake on the new 1851 socket. i have AMD now, gave it a shot and next build is back to intel, not that AMD is bad, but that AMDip is real especially on zen3, also can't run RAM as fast as intel. and lacks a hardware scheduler so it relies on xbox for game profiles. in power efficiency it destroys intel. If I was forced to build right now I would just get the 7800x3D, then dump that when arrow lake comes out. You could probably break even or even make a small profit because the deal below is so good.

$499 for a 7800x3D, B650-P mobo, and 32GB ddr5 36CL.

Any idea on when arrow lake is being released? I cant wait much longer since some games literally stutter and give me a headache.

I’m also thinking of maybe swapping my i5-9600k for a i9-9900kf for the time being to see if it helps at all

around 3rd quarter 2024, crappy time to build...

I don't know where you got the idea that intel has the fastest cpu on the market when amd wins in both gaming and productivity.
