Hey all... I built my 10900k/3090 rig in Jan 2021... and a couple weeks ago I went with the 4090 and 11900k for PCIE 4.0... the CPU upgrade was a net cost of $60 after selling the 10900k so with as much hate as I've seen towards 11th gen I did it anyway.
Well... 2 weeks later I'm thinking of just upgrading to the Ryzen 9 7950x3D. I do a mix of gaming and CPU intensive stuff... video encoding and editing of 6K drone footage and encoding of blu ray rips from my own collection. I'm aware the 7800x3D is the gaming CPU but as said I do a mix of that and productivity stuff.
I'm planning on keeping the majority of my current build... and upgrading the mobo, cpu and ram. I'd keep my current DD4 if I could... but that's not an option. Was looking at staying with MSI and going with a X670E board... and since it has 4 m.2 slots I'm gonna keep my 3x 970 Evo Plus 2TB drives and throw in a 2TB 990 Pro for a boot drive. I don't much care about the speed... the 970's are still beastly. Ram I was gonna go with 64GB DDR5 6000mhz (4x 16GB).
Even though I've had no issue with liquid cooling over the years I'm thinking of going with a Noctua air cooler with this upgrade... and the reason I'm not all that interested in the 13900k is due to the heat. The cost is minimal and I wouldn't have to worry about a pump anymore.
I don't see anything else changing... money isn't really an issue here I'm just thinking long term 5+ years. Total cost for the mobo, cpu, ram and cooler is about $1650 and I could probably get at least a few hundred of that back in selling the old stuff.
Thoughts? I've seen mostly favorable reviews on YouTube but I haven't owned an AMD CPU since the Athlon XP 1800+ 1.53ghz in 2001 so looking for the opinions of the seasoned Ryzen veterans.
