Hello everyone so I've been having such a wonderful time with upgrading this past month. Of course I'm being sarcastic I started trying to upgrade to Ryzen 5000 series and that blew up in my face with a dead 5800x. Luckily I was still within the return window. Unlucky I was stuck with the board. I refuse to even try again so I want to go back to Intel.
Today I found someone to trade the motherboard with for the Intel equivalent! Lucky me so now all I need is a CPU. My question is in the title. Should I go with the 10850k it 11700k? I'm not going to wait for the next gen because I'm not going to pay the early adopter fee did you see the price of the ddr5? Yea no thanks.
All I do is game on my system every once In a while I get the itch to try streaming out then decide to quit after a month. It's an endless cycle haha. Also I do the same with Photoshop . Primarily gaming tho
I see that the 10850k has 2 more cores and 4 more threads than the 11700k. Should I go with the 10th gen just because of that factor? I'm torn and could use a bit of guidance I haven't really tried to upgrade my main rig since moving from devil's canyon to Skylake. My specs are below. Oh and one other question would have to do a clean install of windows? I didn't do it when I moved from my z170 board to my z270 but this is like 6 years of gap in hardware lol
Mobo: z590 aorus ultra.
Ram 32gb 3200mhz cl16.
Corsair 240mm aio.
850w Nzxt PSU.
480gb Corsair ssd.
1tb crucial ssd.
1tb Samsung m.2 ssd.
I also have 2 500gb nvme drive I might want to add
