hello everyone, I am getting ready to build a new pc and I am torn between these 2 CPU’s I stream a little and edit my own maps for farming simulator 2019. Just looking for some opinions on which cpu I should go with. Any opinion or advise is appreciated! Thanks

I took a look at your build, and I have a few suggestions (up to you, just what I would do differently).

  • Your CPU is good for FS19 and many other games, but if you ever want to play games at much more than 100 frames per second, last-gen Ryzen CPUs aren't good at that whereas current-gen Ryzen and Intel CPUs are. Thus, if you want to game at higher than 100 fps (if not now but perhaps down the road) a Ryzen 3900 won't allow you to do that (low boost clocks, low IPC, high internal latency). In that situation, the Intel 10850k would be a better choice.
  • If you're going to purchase a 10850k, that 240 mm AIO is going to struggle to keep it cool; the 10850k produces a ton of heat and needs a more robust cooler than that to keep...

That 10850k is seriously hungry for power.... as in 300W at full throttle. If you plan on having a top of the line GPU such as 3080 or 6800 XT - that's another 300W. 750W power supply is a bit low. My rule is double the power of your components.

If you make the mistake of going the Intel route, I'd suggest waiting just a bit for 11900k.

"I stream a little and edit my own maps for farming simulator 2019 "

For your stated use, either of those are fine. Even a bit overpowered.

You don't need a 1200watt PSU.
You don't need a RTX 3080.
You REALLY don't need two of them.

I strongly suggest starting here, and posting in the Systems Forum:

Which is why I posted the link above, regarding "New Build Advice".

A system is build around a use and budget. And it needs to be a balanced system.
Blowing the whole budget on a top end CPU and leaving only enough for a 500GB HDD....not good.
Ya know?
