Question Should I buy Ryzen 2700X now?

[Devdeep60]

With the AMD announcement on the 3000 series, should I buy 2700X (lower price) or wait for the 3700X? This means a possible 570X motherboard as well. Obviously the new technology is better but then there will be 4000 series next year.

Are 2700X prices now likely to drop? I am not a gamer but a good kit is important.

If you don't have a problem with the budget, definitely go for the 3700X

Agreed. If you have the right budget, the 3700X would be a good buy. In terms of price reductions, as we saw with the Pascal GPUs after the release of Turing, the reductions are far from instantaneous. I would recommend the 3700X with a sufficient budget unless you feel that waiting is to your current convenience

You'll never catch up with time and new technologies. New items appear every year, if not more often. If you really want to spend every year not a small part of the budget for freshly released news, then why not. But I would wait for some really cool stuff that could probably come out in a couple of years, but it would be the best.👌
