looking to upgrade but to what and when

[VvVDannyVvV]

Currently running on a i7 4790k with 16gb of ddr3 paired with a gtx 1080. not a slow system, just starting to be dated and i feel that my cpu is starting to be a bottle neck 

 

my next upgrade will be costly i know this. 

 

looking at spending about $700 give or take a few not set in stone. 

 

I play games such as beam NG drive(reasons why i want to upgrade, it's extremely cpu heavy and my i7 is struggling) , cs-go, and allot of AAA titles 

 

looking to upgrade the cpu, that means i will also need ram and mobo 

 

what do you guys recommend?

Not sure what case you're using, as you might need to check whether it can support the air cooler height

I am using a corsair carbide case, its a full atx, and currently using h100i aio cooler, might need to upgrade that too, don't think it will support the new chip sets?

Good list, been on the fence between ryzen or ia i7 9700k..... kinda a Intel fan boi, the 8350 bull dozer kinda burned me on amd a long time ago....

H100i doesn't support the AM4 socket, so yeah won't work with the AMD chip.

Carbide is a massive case, no problem there on cooler clearance

The 3700X runs fairly cool for an 8-core chip, is cheaper as well and within percentage points in terms of performance with the 9700K. Tbh you can't go wrong with either but the 3700X comes with 16 threads, while you need the 9900K to get Hyperthreading from Intel if that multi-threaded workloads is a concern

how slow are you getting?

the 4c8t 4790k could handle alot, overheating ? overclocked?

was oc to 4.8ghz now stable around 4.6ghz, starting to age, and struggling to keep up with large loads in beam ng drive, its pretty heavy on the processor, more cars you spawn, the slower it chugs. seeing people playing with 10 plus cars with out an issue, and i can barely do 4 cars at a time. and the large menus are starting to slow down with all the customization options. Also would like to stream again, and better render videos faster.

3rd gen Ryzen 7s are basically 120w class CPUs, dont need huge coolers for them. Btw while the H100i doesnt support AM4, the H100i Pro and V2 support AM4. You might not have the bracket tho, check that.

 

3800X is basically a binned 3700X. Price increase is not worth it for multicore performance, but since BeamNG cars basically run on one CPU core (multithreading doesn't help much) you'd want to get the best single core performance out of it. Can't recommend Intel 9700k tho since multithreading is crucial for rendering and maybe streaming (Pascal's NVENC is not efficient enough imo for streaming, either the bitrate is too high or the quality is garbage comparing to X264), while 9900k is pretty much in another price category.

 

Improved the board to hold upgrades and bring better rear I/O connection (x570-P's rear I/O feels like an $80 board)

Wow you guys are awesome, what would change if i changed to the Budget to straight $1,000?  Feel like we could squeeze a bit more out. And do you think with the holiday season coming up the prices are going to change a bit?

could add SSDs and change PSU if you dont have one/is old. What PSU do you have exactly?

 

If you want rear I/O type C connector there's the ATX Aorus Pro board
