I AM CANADIAN BY THE WAY SO MY DOLLAR VALUE IS POO

Boxing day is coming up AND Thread-Ripper JUST came out and I currently have an i7 6700k cooled with a Coolermaster 212 EVO and a z270-k board with 16gb of lpx vengence ram, anyways.

I believe the time to upgrade is NOW and i would love to go AMD because they offer AMAZING cpu's for HALF the price that intel would charge so I was thinking of a 3700x but I do not know which type of motherboard and ram I should buy with it and will I need a new CPU Cooler? or does the 3700x come with one that is sufficient.

My other idea for a CPU to buy is the new Thread-Ripper CPU's SUCH AS THE AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1920X (12-core/24-thread) (Which is my desired cpu because i mean 12 cores and 24 threads? i'll be set for life)

I obviously will need a new MOBO and RAM for either one of these cpu's. I do not care for extra features whatsoever I just want the MOBO to work with either one of the new amd cpu's.

Although i do care for ram speeds somewhat, my question is which MOBO can without those extra crazy features that will just work with the two cpu's i've chosen to possibly buy and what RAM it would be good for.

Thankyou very much for reading and helping me if you do because i really do need help <3

Sincerely, Danknuggs

Go for the ryzen 7 3700x it is better in gaming more cores doesn't mean you won't get more fps games doesn't need more than 6 cores also the thread ripper will need a tr4 motherboard which is really expensive and will need a cooler the ryzen 7 3700x cooler is enough for it, if you are getting ryzen 7 then get a b450 motherboard and 16gb 3200 mhz - 3600 mhz cl16 or cl 14 ram

If this is for mostly gaming, the 3700x. If you are after more cores/threads, for work related tasks, the 3900x would be fine. 1st gen threadripper is simply not a good idea.

this IS just for gaming everyones saying 3700x so i think that'll be the choice i just thought 12 cores and 16 threads would give me performance like an i9-9900k would give me

im just going to be gaming but, Is the 3700x overclockable? and also would the 3700x paired with a 2080ti be enough for cyberpunk 2077 thats kind of the reason i'm upgrading

OK that's a low resolution for a 2080Ti. To stand any chance of getting the high fps needed to fully utilise a 2080Ti @ 1080p you are going to need the cup that can push the highest fps which is the 9900k.

so you are saying that a 3800x wont be enough to get high fps i said i can't afford an i9 9900k thats why i want to go amd

The 3800x is a great cpu but a 2080Ti is really overkill for for 1080p and to get the most utilisation from the gpu you want the highest FPS possible. If you were running a higher resolution it would be easier to fully utilise a 2080Ti’s full potential.

cant I just put the resolution to 4k with my 1080p monitor so that it evens out when i get the 3800x

Which ram somewhat depends on motherboard, but this is generally a safe choice.

I noticed some people are getting 2080Tis and adjusting the resolution scaling like above, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
There has to be a downside of doing that... but I don't know what it is.



Wouldn't the image just be zoomed in, reducing your FOV, since 1080p monitor sizes are smaller than 4K ones? Serious question, because I have no idea about the resolution scaling thing.
