[SOLVED] Cpu purchase

[Danno1957]

Which is the better buy? New i7-980x or used i7-990X?

How much are you spending? Keep in mind its a decade old CPU so even compared to a lower end CPU today like a used Ryzen 2600 it will be beaten. So just weigh the cost of the CPu vs upgrading to a newer platform.
