PC not built yet
Upgrading from a Intel Core i7-2700k w/ 16GB Ram and a 660TI Nvidia.
Playing strategy games like Cities Skylines and similar
I currently have an Intel i9-11900k partnered with a ASUS - ROG MAXIMUS XIII HERO Motherboard.
My question is would it be worth it to swap the i9 out with a Ryzen 7 or 9th? (whatever their latest generation is) and motherboard or would I not see a performance difference?
Obviously I would prefer the 12th gen i9 but they are harder than ever to find plus I already have 128GB of DDR4 memory and most of the ROG boards only support DDR5 with the new generations.
I can return/exchange the i9 and motherboard through January (Thanks BBY).
Also have a Corsair AIO H170i for CPU Cooling so I understand the Ryzen chips run hotter but I assume that should suffice.
Thanks!
