Fine, I'll give AMD a chance. Please suggest a rocking CPU/Mobo/RAM combo $800-900

Thanks for the feedback...

 

so I am going with the following...

 

Ryzen 2700X

 

and...

         GIGABYTE X470 AORUS Gaming 7 WIFI (AMD Ryzen AM4/ X470/ Intel Wave 2 WIFI/ M.2) Motherboard

• G.Skill TridentZ RGB Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin 3600MHz (PC4 28800) Desktop Memory

any reason this mobo might be better?

There is no reason to go for the 2700x over the 3600. Not for the price and not for the performance.

 

RGB gives more FPS so go with Aorus?

Some don't like Gigabyte's bios.

Man all that for 900 Dollars, i'm jealous.

 

In Norway i'm getting a 3700x, 2*8GB 3200mhz memory and a mid-range motherboard for about 20USD less.

Any reason as to why you decided on the 2700X when the 3000-series is out?

I have a very large Amazon gift card balance and they don't have those in stock, nor do they seem to have a pre-order page.

with what they currently have in stock:

 

 

AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6-core, 12-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor with   

Wraith Spire Cooler   USD $248.00

 

 

G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C14D-32GTZR  USD $289.99 

 

 

ASUS ROG Crosshair VII Hero (Wi-Fi) AMD Ryzen 2 AM4 DDR4 M.2 USB 3.1 Gen2 ATX X470 Motherboard    USD $274.30

[Myk3_Fury]

This is what I'm pretty much going with...

• AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6-core, 12-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor with Wraith Spire Cooler
• ASUS AM4 TUF Gaming X570-Plus (Wi-Fi) ATX Motherboard with PCIe 4.0, Dual M.2, 12+2 with Dr. MOS Power Stage, HDMI, DP, SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.2 Gen 2 and Aura Sync RGB Lighting

You want more cores for what you will be using your pc for I think. 

Having said that, getting a CPU from Amazon is either an insane option when looking at the price or not available. 

 

No complaints about the mainboard and dimms
