Now, I know i either want a ryzen 3700x or an i7 8700. A really important factor for me is a very fast single core cpu speed, i play paradox games which only use one core for god knows why. Which cpu beats out the other in single core? Keep in mind that I also will need a new mobo for the 3700x, not my i7 8700. It would cost me around 300 AUD less for a 8700. Thanks.
