[SOLVED] Intel vs. AMD cpu?

[Noobgamedesigner]

Hello,

I'm looking to upgrade my current build. I have a GTX 1080 right now and an i want to upgrade my CPU. The CPU and motherboard I have now is pretty old, so I will have to upgrade both. I'm thinking of getting the AMD 7 2700x but I am also looking at some intel CPUs.

I play alot of different types of games like overwatch, far cry, bioshock and GTA. But I also need it for a workstation and multitasking as I work alot with maya, 3Ds Max, photoshop, unreal and sculptris. I've read that Intel is better for gaming but the 2700x is good for multitasking and workloads. Any suggestions or help on what you think I should get, the 2700x or something Intel? The help would be appreciated, thanks.

If you're using it for a workstation, the ryzen might be preferable. I have the 1700x, games just fine. Also you'll have a better upgrade path because zen 2 should drop in a few months, then zen 3 I think comes out next year.

amd lacks some features intel has but for gaming its more than enough

I'm interested to see zen 2. The leaks in so far look very good.
