Question 7800X3D question(s)

[ckelih]

So No.1
What WATERCooler Block do you recommend for it? What is the best performaing one? I dont want AiO, I just need the block!

No.2:
Since I am often haven more than one game open, and a lot of browsers all the time, I am not sure if the 7800X3D is the best way to go.
Explanation: I know the 7800X3D has best performance when you run just one game and only that game. But how does the CPU performs when you have lets say a couple of browsers open and a 2nd game in the background. Would be a 7900X3D better than!?
My current intel i9 has 10 cores and 20 threads.

Best option would be 7950X3D. But 7800X3D is the cheapest of the three, leaving 7900X3D in the middle (both performance and price wise).

Are you running three monitors, one for each game and one for the browsers. No need to run anything in the background. Now that would be cool.

Question is, can your GPU cope with two games at the same time, or do you put one on hold?

I agree the 7950X3D would be best for your scenario (and an RTX 4090).

It depends on what web pages you have loaded and what the other game is. But most web pages are usually light on the CPU (if it's not, there's something wrong with the page). As far as the the other game is concerned, if you're trying to run another heavy hitter, then you can expect lesser performance on that one as long as it's "running." Usually pausing the game, assuming the game completely stops everything, will free up resources.

AH F MY LIFE!
The 7900X3D was at 489,- yesterday for a couple of hours. I was not sure if I should get it, now the price changed and it is at 555,- again.
I think im gonna go with 7800X3D and maybe upgrade later to a more core CPU.

I have an 4090 and I run multiple games on multiple 3 monitor setup. Yes!
I alt tab between them!

so is this the end?
I am going for the 7800X3D now cause the 7900 and 7950 are not worth the price atm.
And if AMD wants to put out an 7990 or some better CPU that has the fps of an 7800X3D and also the multicore power of an 7950 but does not cost 700,- I can still upgrade later.
