So I recently decided to get a new rig. I was almost sure I'll get the 3700x But I came to the realization that I probably won't buy another PC for another 7-9 years. So I started thinking is it worth getting the 3900x. I'll be using the PC mostly for gaming (Mosty for SP games 1440P 144Hz) and for digital art (Maya, Zbrush, Photoshop).
Now is it worth it to get 3900X over the 3700X for what I'll be doing? Is the 3900x overkill for those means?
My budget is around 1500$, sadly I'm not from the USA so all the parts have an increased price around 20-30% compared Amazon/Newegg parts. So the X570 boards that cost 200-250$ in the USA, for me they're 320-370$. So I was looking at the low end tier of X570. From what I've seen it they can handle the 3900x even OC'd.
I currently have 1070 and I am probably gonna get a new GPU next year. I've seen some speculation about next gen GPU's utilizing Pcie 4.0 so this is why I was considering X570.
This is what I was considering to buy:
CPU - AMD Ryzen 3900x/3700x
Motherboard - MPG X570 GAMING PLUS/ASRock X570 PRO4/Gigabyte X570 GAMING X (these boards are all around 210-230$)
PSU - Focus Plus 750W Gold SSR-750FX
RAM - Kingston HyperX Fury RGB 32GB (4x8) 3466/CL16
SSD - ADATA ASX8200PNP-512GT-C SSD 512GB M.2 (old HDD for storage)
CASE - NZXT H500 (I'm reconsidering this because of airflow and size)
GPU - Keeping my old EVGA 1070 SC until next year
