Hi Everyone,
After a long time of being away 'm slowly starting to get back into computer/gaming again. Right now I have an Intel Coffee lake I5 and a GTX 1070. I'm thinking of doing a new gaming build and I was thinking of getting an AMD Ryzen this time around. The last I remember AMD was giving Intel a pretty good run for their money, I'm guessing this is still true? My question is for gaming will the 8 core 16 thread Ryzen 7700X be enough for gaming only? Money is a little right now so I don't know if I could do a Ryzen 9. Also since I've been out of the loop for awhile is overlocking worth it? The last I remember overlocking was kind of becoming irrelevent because what you were getting from Intel and AMD was pretty good right out of the box and it didn't seem like people were getting that much more out of CPU's unless you used some form of extreme cooling.
