It's better at anything with high threads.  Special ram? Not really, but if you're worried pick something off the motherboard QVL list, otherwise just find a kit of DDR4-3600 with CAS 16 and you'll be set, can just turn on XMP and be done.

3900x; 50% more resources and same price

[Flying Sausages]

3900x

 

More core and thread = better

Had more issues with my Intel systems than AMD ones.

They typically have more issues with BIOS, RAM compatibility, and longer POST times vs Intel systems.

 

In my experience this is true, but it is fixable and not enough to warrant dismissing their blatant advantages.

 

Cue the fanboy rage

More ram sticks is more difficult for the integrated memory controller to handle (this goes for both Intel and amd), it's just more potential for conflict with the preexisting teething issues Ryzen has with bios/ram.

Usually will work perfectly fine. Sometimes need to run a bit slower than advertised speed. Very rarely does not work at all.

 

Decent chance needs a little fiddling with to get it running perfectly smoothly, though.

I have a Ryzen 3900X + X570 Aorus Xtreme + 4X 8Gb DDR4 3200, built this rig in early August and have had no issue whatsoever. Gigabyte Bios updates have been pretty good actually so get that combo that you've been eyeing with confidence.

I think that buying that kind of cpu is more than a tad overkill if your main games are Fortnite and Apex....

I9 / 3900x are workcpu's not hobbygaming imo.

Here is also doing some productivity stuff that would likely benefit from the extra threads.  Also newer games are starting to take advantage of those extra cores more and he isn't going to be playing Fortnite and Apex forever.  What about new games coming out 3 years from now for example?

 

Still I get your reasoning, with current games, the difference between a 3900X and a 3600 is minimal, probably like 5-8% in performance and you can buy 2.5 3600 processors for the price of a 3900x.  It really all comes down to how much you think your going to be relying on those extra cores now and in the future.
