As a background, I am upgrading from the below rig:
I am looking to upgrade now, I have two builds down below from PC Part Picker. I'm wanting to upgrade as I got this rig in 2014/2015 and I'm starting to feel its age in newer titles. I'm using 1080p monitors, but I am looking to upgrade to 1440p or even 4K in the future. To add a little, I've always been favourable over Intel due to the reliability of single-core performance and general reliability (MOBO issues with AMD), but now, I don't think there is any logical reason not to go AMD at this moment in time.
AMD: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/7vrZxc
A few things to note about this one. Firstly, that CPU will be changed to the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X in November. Likewise, the GPU may change to a RTX 3060, or would that be a bottleneck? I'm also worried about the MOBO, will that be fine, or is there a better one for a marginal price increase?
Intel: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/67Vj4d
I think I'd be stupid to go blue now given the release today. But, I made this prior to the AMD one above.
Any suggestions or comments, let me know.
Thanks,
Jet.
