I would too, but I am stuck for now at 1080 because of my current Display ( a 55" OLED TV at 1080p) ! So until I have the money to buy a new OLED TV ( Im gonna go 65" 4K OLED, which is around 2500 USD), I'm gonna play at 1080p ! That is the reason why I was thinking to upgrade my CPU+MB+RAM now, cause my current GTX 1060 6GB is running everything fine at ULTRA (turning down the AA a bit and maybe some shadows) ! So my logic is this: I go for the upgrade of the CPU+MB+RAM now and by the time I have the money to buy a new 65" 4K OLED Display ( in fall next year, hopefully earlier), GPU's will drop their prices and probably, I can get a really good deal on a RTX 2080 SUPER. If I stretch my budget now, which will probably mean buying a 2070 SUPER, I will not benefit from it, because of my current TV, so no point in investing in something that I can't use.

Yeah, I have 16gb Ram now and I feel it's at the limit, leaving Utorrent opened, or any donwload, results in stuttering in games...Giving the fact that 32gb is quite affordable today, I would for sure go for it.

Thank you for your answers ! I think there are more people on this forum. Or is it just you? Lol ! ???

My mind is not set yet, still gathering info. I am free to ask and if you don't wanna answer its ok, no need to get agresive with me

Thank you guys for all your replies and thoughts !!! So in your opinion, should I go with the Ryzen 7 3700x OR the i7 9700k ? What ablout the motherboard ? Was thinking of going for the Tomahawk B450 Max or something good from X470 that has a STRONG BIOS, STRONG VRM'S AND ITS RELIABLE AND STABLE ! Also FLASH BIOS would be preferd, to be able to flash it for using Ryzen 3000 series, though out of the box updated BIOS would be BEST( no more headaches ) I would go donw the road of X570, was planing on buying the Asus Tuf Gaming Plus X570(very strong mb and strong VRM's,) but I am really DISLIKING THE FAN ON THE BOARD, that could jam, break down, or simply stop working in time. Also, I hear that temperatures are really high on X570 boards . . . Or is it best to wait for Ryzen 4000 ? Though sources say it will come out in July to August and stocks will probably available in September and so on . . . Playing the waiting game its not something I like doing ?

Agree ! But still, had no such issues ever with Nvidia or Intel ! So from a Video Card perspective, I am never buying AMD again ! Now I still have to deicide if I should go for a 3700x or just stick with the old and stable Intel and go for i7 9700k

I had a Radeon Video Card a few years ago and had lots of issues(high temps, driver issues, freezing, some games not working that friends of mine would play on Nvidia cards, file dll errors and so on...was so angry I wanted to throw it over the balcony) so...I know AMD has compatibility problems (at least, if not hardware problems as well) , all the time... Also had an AMD cpu, but that was a long time ago and had issues as well... But I thought that in 2020, AMD resolved the problems, doesnt seem that way...

Any AMD owners here? Maybe they could share some opinions on how bad are the issues with the motherboards and how about software and gaming compatibility? Seen a lot of complains that lots of games with crash with AMD and/or blue screen of death or freezing in certain games and so on . . . Windows compatibility issues as well . . . Is it that bad? Should i even consider AMD? Or am I better with Intel? Thank you

But given the fact that I have seen lots of people complaining about AMD motherboard issues, I am leaning more to i7 9700k, though with no cooler and no Hyper-Threading, it is a bit frustrating . . .

I cant afford 3900x I can max stretch for R 7 3700x or I7 9700k. Dont forget I have to buy mb+ram as well. . .

On a more serious note now and back to the topic My main concern was: INTEL vs AMD !!! Which one with you guys choose for future proofing and gaming ! Rposting what I initially asked: i7 9700k vs Ryzen 7 3700x OR i5 9600k vs i5 8400k Thank you !

Haha She doesnt care. She just gives me the money to buy the gift

Forgot to mention a very important thing, I will have to choose something pretty soon, because the uograde is a gift from my girlfriend for Christmas, so, waiting to much is not an option. Either a GPU upgrade or a cpu+mb+ram will have to happen . . .
