So ive been waiting for Ryzen to upgrade my system and I was being patient since all I really was doing was gaming and my 6600k was fine for the most part. But now with pandemic part 2 im back to working at home and my PC is struggling with my CAD workloads and with Ryzen 5000 series nowhere in stock, I figured id just go 3000 series but everything seems to be price gouged 3600xt is $240 & 3700X is $270 at my local Micro Center. Im wondering If I should just go with intel, I really cant wait much longer its slowing down my work process. My Microcenter has 9700k's for 200 bucks which should be more than fine for 1440p gaming and I think way more than fine for my work loads.
Should I pull the trigger?
