[SOLVED] CPU for a 2080 ti?

[Dankdab]

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

https://www.amazon.ca/TUF-Gaming-X5...ds=asus+tuf+gaming+x570&qid=1576967182&sr=8-2 so this is the one you are talking about? and im not sure what power delivery is but why isn't it a good board for a 3800x for a rehtarde like myself im not worried about any extra features whatsoever just want it to last and work for a long time and get the most performance out of it but i never heard of getting a better MB for more fps...

Yes that's the board I'm talking about. The x570 is worth every penny of the extra $60 over the b450 gigabyte board.

In simple terms:

1. The x570 board is 100% compatible with the CPU out of the box guaranteed. You can't say the same forthe Gigabyte b450. It might come with a compatible bios. It might not.

2. The feature set is vastly superior. You don't care about that. However, if you ever need to sell it the next guy probably will.

3. Power delivery matters because it's possible that the VRM components on the motherboard will get too hot and the CPU will automatically run at reduced performance to keep from destroying said components. That gigabyte b450 is borderline for the 3800x in CPU heavy gaming loads and will likely stress the motherboards power delivery. It might be fine. It also might be unreliable and/or reduce CPU performance. You're talking about spending $1500 minimum (I think you are wasting your money) on a CPU and GPU. Why on earth would you penny pinch on any other part in the system.

as i said i'm a retahrde and i did not know motherboards were actually that important.

That being said I will purchase the x570 board you said because it does seem worth it, unless you were talking about the 3800x because i thought that was a great duo for the 2080 ti? forgive me if i'm mistaken
