Hi All,
Looking to build a new gaming rig but it's been a while so i've been educating myself on the current tech landscape. I've always been an Intel guy due to issues i've had with AMD builds many years ago so initially i was looking at something like a 14700k. I understand there's a lot of hate for Intel right now due to stability and longevity problems with the 13/14 series and the reviews aren't great for the new Core Ultra cpus for gaming purposes. That got me looking at Ryzen for the first time in decades and they seem pretty popular right now, specifically the x3d versions of cpus such as the 7800x3d and newer 9800x3d. Problem is they are no where to be found in my area and the few i have seen are going for a couple hundred dollars over MSRP. Gaming mainly at 1440p on a rtx 2080 right now but plan to upgrade to a 50 series card eventually. I'd be happy to hear any buying advice anyone is willing to offer. Also don't really have a budget, but would be happy to save anywhere i can as i'm sure the 50 series of gpus will be stupidly expensive.
Approximate Purchase Date: Soon
Budget Range: Flexible

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Amazon, Canada Computers, New Egg
