Hi.
With the new Nvidia cards launching just in 2 weeks, im doing final touches for my build wishlist. I have started off the build with 10700k as it significantly outperforms 3700x in games(5-20fps), for not too much more money.
As the thought of the build matured, and i got more acquainted with the new features of the 3000-gen, it changed my mind and currently i have a 3700x in my wishlist. My turningpoint was the PCIe 4.0 support for Ryzen. From what Moores law is dead has said recently, 4.0 will allow better performance for the new cards.
My question is, will the 3700x bottleneck the 3080 Is there a better alternative atm, which is also futureproof? Should i just get 3700x and then switch to the 4000-series AMD cpus when they launch, in what i have heard, not such a long time?
Edit: To clear up the question. My definition of bottleneck is somewhere of about 10+fps loss.
Edit2: My monitor MSI Optix MAG322CQR (1440p 165Hz)
