[SOLVED] Which would you choose for Gaming + Work?

10900K (652$) vs 5900X (843$) vs 5800X (734$) vs 3950X (815$).

I am upgrading my i7-3770K CPU and looking for the best price/value choice in my country. I do not know the prices in other countries so it is hard for me to decide which are overpriced and what to choose. I will also have to buy a new AM4 or 1200 MOBO.

• Intel i9-10900K (652$) - Available in stores at normal retail price in Poland
• Ryzen 9 3950X (815$) - Available in stores at normal retail price in Poland
• Ryzen 7 5900X (843$) - Available from resselers at scalper prices, not available in stores
• Ryzen 9 5800X (734$) Available from resselers at scalper prices, not available in stores

My main reasone why I upgrade is to make my work as smooth as possible (no lags, long pdf/excel/photoshop loading etc.) and to play games. I can spend as much money as nessesary, but I do not want to throw money out of the windows if It only benefits me very little in comparison to a cheaper part (for example the slight fps boost of the RTX 3090 is not worth the money difference between the RTX 3080 for me).

I work mostly from my PC using variouse websites with terrain/satelites, big Excel spreedsheets, Google Maps, Google Earth, Maps, big PDF files, Photoshop (big files). I also use virtual machines sometimes. I run a 3 monitor setup with two 2560x1440 and one 3440x1440 100hz monitor.

when are you going to upgrade?

I'd get the R9 5800x and pair that with a B550 chipset motherboard or an X570 chipset motherboard. Pair those two with a dual channel DDR4-3600MHz ram kit.
