I do not know if i should get the 3700x or the i7-9700k.

i mainly play games i also tend to have alot of apps open in the background idk not know yet if i will stream or do youtube.

 

the 370x is $330usd and the i7-9700k is $300usd 

 

the motherboard i will use with the 3700x is the asus - tuf gaming x570-plus (wi-fi)

 

the motherboard i will use on the i7-9700k if i get it is the MSI MPG Z390 Gaming PRO Carbon AC

 

i already own the 3700x have not used it and can return it and get the i7-9700k 

 

 

please help me.

Keep it, why would you get 9700K, the 3700X crushes it

Just keep what you've got. And get one of MSI's new B450 MAX boards which support Zen2 out of the box and are significantly cheaper than x570. You won't see any difference between the 3700x and 9700k right now, it won't be noticeable. But what will be noticeable is the 9700k starting to stutter in the next few years as games start to move towards focusing on more cores and threads. Those 8 threads will cause a stutterfest a few years from now, while the 3700x will be buttery smooth.

3700x still gets beat by the 9700k in games slightly, but a lot of them are due to windows scheduler screwing up core usages between 2 dies on the cpu. essentially a software bug that can be fixed. 3700x is pretty much superior in a lot of other things(including some games)

 

i'd say you should save the hassle and stick with the 3700x, especially if you're playing above 1080p.

agree with the b450 bit, you don't need those 10+ phase VRMs that x570 has, the 3700x pulls like 70W under torture load so a B450 will be sufficient. some b450s can also be flashed to update the bios without a ryzen 2000 cpu

Nah it can just about go past 100w. Software readings are still inaccurate on most boards.

in GN's 3900x review, it's the 3600 that draws about 70w.
