[SOLVED] I7 10700k or Ryzen 7 3800XT?

[Pc gamer forever]

Looking to upgrade my current build that's an I7 4700K that I overclocked to 4Ghz.

My main things i will use it for:

PC Gaming
Emulation
Some video editing

Well, they are both pretty awesome products.

But considering Ryzen 5000 series are launching to the market on november 5, I would wait for reviews and then think about going that way instead.

If you can wait about one month longer, the Ryzen 5600X and 5800X would be much better choices than the 3800XT for gaming.

If gaming is your highest priority and you need a new PC immediately, then I'd go with the 10700k.

Do you have a budget?

If so, consider the i5-10600K.
You mainly get 12 threads vs. 16.

Thanks all,

After looking through (and based on current needs, I will go with the i7 10700k.

The higher single core clock benefits me more for programs that only utilize one core.
