Well there are 4000Mhz kits now. Im trying to get him the best bang for the buck. As I said AMD loves memory speed. The sweet spot is 3200 @ 16cl . He can buy a 4000Mhz kit which is expensive as hell and get 5fps more........ not worth it.
I'm building a new computer, and with the new ryzen launch, choosing a cpu is being a nightmare. I've seen dozens of benchmarks, but since all of them use a 2080ti, it's hard to tell how they will behave paired up with a 2070 super. All these benchmarks show the i7 performing with much higher fps (with a few exceptions), but ryzen still have room to improve with driver updates, and if games ever decide to take advantage of multiple threads, than the performance would also increase. I don't see a reason to consider PCIe 4.0 as an advantage unless future GPUs take advantage of it.
Again, the i7 appears to be the winner (with 2080ti benchmarks ate least), but I fear I could be settling for an outdated CPU, and in the near future the 3700x start to outperform the 9700k
Things to consider: There is a sale going on right now and buying an i7-9700k + ASUS PRIME Z370-A II LGA will go for roughly the same as an r7-3700x + Gigabyte - X570 AORUS ELITE. The only taxing activity I'll do on it will be gaming. I don't do any video or photo editing, streaming or 3d modeling/rendering. I don't plan on overclocking. At least not right now. Maybe in the future, if I decide to put some time into learning how to do it. Will be using a 1440p 144Hz monitor
