So I am deciding on a CPU and GPU right now and can't pick.

I am think a Nvidia RTX 3080 but can't choose a CPU. I was thinking a Ryzen 9 3900X or a Ryzen 9 3950X but don't know if it will bottleneck or just be too powerful for the GPU.

Please Help.

Thanks

No

Without any use case there's no such thing as a bottleneck when the computer is just sitting there doing nothing

resolution? refresh rate? games?

 

also, if you're going from a 3900X to a 3950X, the bottleneck won't change. 12 cores is already too much for gaming, and the single threaded performance is identical.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I'll be playing R6Siege and Rust mainly. I want to get the most out of my gear. I will be using a 4k monitor also. I also have a 1080p monitor.
