Hello, Im quite new to this forum, so please bear with me if I don't fit the culture lol
I'm currently considering Ryzen 7 5800x (360 USD) vs Intel 10850k (300 USD). I want a powerful snappy system, especially since I don't plan on upgrading for a very long time. (My current system is a 4c/8t franken pc from 2014 with a 1060 6gb added later. My question is which is the better buy for VERY long term success 6-8 years. I lightly multitask, occasionally running UE4, Blender & Photoshop, my primary use case however, is gaming @ 1080p 60hz. Ryzen currently looks appealing to me due to pcie4.0, and the future of Direct Storage. However, 60USD cheaper and 2c/4t extra is very hard to deny. Please offer your experiences with either or both so I can help make a informed, quality decision.
Edit: I also plan on using my 1060 until the GPU market chills out, I plan on upgrading to a 3070 or maybe better around a year from now.
