Does anyone know of a resource that will be listing the benchmarks for each 3080 GPU? I plan to purchase one but would like to see the best performer for $699 and if any other's performance is really worth the extra $$. Most videos that I have seen on YouTube feature the most expensive cards vs the Founder's Edition. I think the flaw in this comparison is that it should be the most expensive vs the best performer at stock price.

So if I went with the (3600X or 3700X) and the X750 then I will have a PCIE 4.0 supporting Motherboard and can upgrade to the 4000 series CPU if/when it is viable performance-wise. While I am a casual gamer, as a Software Engineer I use my computer more often for Coding, working, web-surfing and editing, so honestly I think the AMD build suits me better. NVIDIA Vs AMD, Bottle-necking the 30 series? AMD Build Intel Build

I looked into the laptop 4000 series and they appear to be easily outperforming Intel so I would not be surprised if they are better in desktop as well. The question is if the CPU able to perform better than the 10700k while remaining in the same price range. I just don't want to buy a CPU then sell it in a few months when the 4,000 series comes out.

Thanks for the suggestions Shimejii. I heard that people like to swipe up all the stock, is it not possible to get on a pre-order or something? Should I not even bother purchasing parts yet then? I am willing to wait for a better CPU, if it is going to be around the same price, and I won't have a GPU in hands yet...

Great! Do you think that the Gigabyte Z490 Elite is a good quality Motherboard that won't be too quickly outdated? I know the GPU will be good for a while but the budget build I made years ago is so horribly outdated that I want to plan better this time... My In Progress Build

I have not purchased any parts yet! I will look into the 10700k! Are you saying it is the the only one compatible with the above CPU? or the GPU?

I am planning my new PC build around the 3080 and an i9 9900K. Since I have not purchased a motherboard yet, I may as well get one with PCIE 4.0. Is the Gigabyte (Z390/Z490) Aorus Elite 4.0? Or should I find a different motherboard option?

Yeah, I am willing to give up the Micro ATX size for the performance of those new GPU's.

Budget: <= $2k Country: USA Purpose: Photo & Video Editing, Gaming (VR), Programming & Web Surfing I currently have a budget PC that I built 5 years ago. It still functions but barely. (ie. sounds like it is suffocating under minor loads) Here is a list of my build picks so far: Intel Build AMD Build Current PC: MSI GeForce GTX 970 AMD FX-6300 Vishera 6-Core 3.5 GHz MSI 970A SLI Krait Edition CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) EVGA 750 Power Supply SAMSUNG 850 EVO 2.5" 500GB 1TB Hard drive for extra storage
