Question Amd vs Intel

[varsanyi.adam]

Hey guys, I'm going to build a gaming pc very soon and I can't decide if i should go with ryzen 2700x and rtx 2080 or I7 8700k or even 9700k and rtx 2070.The rtx 2080 build is more expensive of course and I m not sure if its worth the price. I use my pc for mostly gaming in 1440p 144 hz and nothing else. I have a G-sync monitor. I play mostly esports games but I want my system to be future proof for example when the Division 2 comes out I might want to play it above 75 fps in medium/high detail. Thank you for your answers in advance!

For you specifically for gaming I would stick to the Intel platform. I like AMD’s because I do software development and testing and I need lots of cores and lots of threads. Intel is still the choice for a gaming PC

If money not an issue, always go with Intel b/c of superior single-threaded performance for gaming.

But i could buy an rtx 2080 over an rtx 2070 if I go amd because I have a limited budget. I cannot buy intel and rtx 2080 that is my issue
