[SOLVED] i7 9700K or Rysen 3700X?

[jake_2978]

Looking to upgrade to either of the two, primarily for gaming.

Which would be the better option?

 

[brandondavidleepink]

i7 9700k is the obv answer as intel has slightly better performance and support rather then AMD parts

 

[richiestang_78]

Depends if you want raw performance of intel or a slightly lower but much higher performance to dollar or Ryzen.


One thing also is from some of the benchmarks show Ryzen seeming to do better for streaming while gaming if that is something you do.

What do you currently have now? Do you already have DDR4 RAM, a decent CPU cooler, etc?

What GPU, and what resolution/refresh rate is your monitor?

For pure gaming, go with the i7. For everything else, go with the 3700X.
