I currently have a i7-4790K paired with a 2060 Super and I'm thinking about upgrading soon. I've never used an AMD CPU, but it looks like there is more value to them than Intel's chips right now--at least on paper. Is it better to invest in a more expensive Intel chip, knowing that new motherboards are probably coming out reasonably soon, or switch to AMD and hope that it performs as well. I know some Ryzen's have more cores/threads, etc., but some reviews show that Intel CPUs still perform better. Will the Ryzen work well with my Nvidia GPU? Is one chip a better value in the long run?
For a mid-range setup and opportunities to continue upgrading, what's the smartest route to take?
