CPU choice for 4k gaming

[Schmidty87]

So trying to decide between the 3700x and 3900x for my rig I'm mainly going to do 4I gaming some video and photo editing nothing huge though also going to have a custom loop ran in it

Hello,

 

There are no huge difference between the 3600 and 3900x for gaming, there is a big one for editing though so if you can offerd it, go with a 3900x.

Go with the 3700X if you aren't a professional editor.

Definitely not a professional, just do some family stuff and goofy videos as well as some cad programs for my gunsmithing

3700X - best balance between the 3600X (gaming) and 3900X (professional work)
