I am debating on what processor to buy. I have a budget of about $1500. I plan on selling my current pc as well as some other things which should give me about
$1200. I'm not a "hardcore gamer" so even if the i9 9900k is the best for gaming, I'm looking for the best price to performance cpu. Although Ryzen may seem like the obvious choice, I calculated the Ryzen system (when subtracting $1200) to come down to $200 of my personal work money. I calculated the Ryzen system (unsure of which Ryzen cpu atm) to cost about $400. If I go with Ryzen I will purchase an X570 board and a PCI-e 4.0 SSD.
