[SOLVED] 9600k or wait and get 3700x in september 2019

[gunnimikki]

I have a 6600k right now and want to upgrade it for more cores so i can get more fps in cs and other games like bo4 so i could get 9600k for 250 + 110 *9600k* or about 330 *estimated price* + 100-130 *3700x*

I have a 1070 and 16gb ram

Okay, first off adding more cores will not improve your framerates in Counterstrike, that game is old and very single thread dependent. Adding more cores would only maybe help if you're also livestreaming your gameplay.

If you want to get third gen Ryzen, you're probably best off just sticking with what you have and waiting the 3 or 4 months it will take for it to hit store shelves. If you feel you need an upgrade right now, then maybe see if you can get a used i7 6700k or 7700k for a decent price to tide you over for a while longer. Alternatively, buy an AM4 board with a 2nd gen Ryzen part now and drop the third gen Ryzen chip on that board later when its available if you really want it. There is little sense in buying a new motherboard and CPU that you're only going to use for less than a year before switching to an entirely different platform.

Depending what you want to do, I would keep the setup you have, wait for ryzen 3000 series to land, see how they perform, then make the jump at that point wherever will be your best option.

I think would be a complete waste of money on a 1070 a 6600k doesn't really bottleneck it.
