Hmmm how come the 14700k if you don’t mind me asking?
The 7800x3d outperforms it in 90% of gaming scenarios, and is cheaper both for processor, and motherboard
I have very little experience with AMD and friends/coworkers are more for Intel. I'm open to either honestly. I have done a little research into cost comparison of the 7900x but I also see now that the 7800x3D is better cost for performance. Would you be able to provide a motherboard that you would recommend for the 7800x3D? I will look into a little more. Thank you!
Currently looking after son and not having much access to my pc - so give me a few hours and I can look for you. Intel and amd are effectively the same - you really don’t need to know much to use either. Plug and play most of the time, but with the amd processor using like 200 watts less electricity to get the same performance
I responded to another user here but I put this together. It appears to be the same cost and probably significantly better? Any thoughts on this or suggestions? Is it overkill? Will it be able to play games for 7+ years? Thank you.
All looks good buddy! All compatible with one another, and yeah I'd say that'll easily last you 7 years! The only recommendation I'd give is - do you need this PC today? Nvidia just announced the 4070 super today with 20% more cores and 16gb of vram. It may outperform the 7800xt for the same price, but, if it does, your 7800xt may get a 50-100 dollar reduction. So give it a couple of weeks and I feel you'll either:
