Hi y'all! Not wanting to play the F5-roulette for Zen 3s, I am sticking with Intel for the moment. Even way before the Zen 3 release, I had my eyes already on 10700K for my new build.
I only need a gaming build and have no use for productivity. BUT, I do expect to enter a game, flip graphics settings to Ultra, and play in 2K expecting no less than 120fps with ~100fps being the absolute minimum. I know I can't expect the same with games like MS Flight Simulator 2020. Even Cyberpunk remains to be seen, but most other modern games including newly released ones like Valhalla, I expect high-end performance.
Below is my build. Not all parts are purchased...
ASUS ROG Z490-A
Corsair Dominator Platinum 4x8GB (3600mhz @ CL18)
2x 970 Evol Plus 1TB
Gigabyte Vision RTX 3070 (on backorder)
Seasonic TX-850 80+ Titanium
I'd like to save another $150 or so by going with i5. I read that with some overclocking, the i5 can even reach speeds up to the 10900K? Would I see considerable performance drops going with i5 instead of i7? Would I need to OC by a lot?
Thanks for any help!
