I kind a want to know it for both amd and intel chips and I just want a good combo

Ryzen 5 3600 + B450 Tomahawk Max

or

Core i5 9600KF + maybe a Z390 Tomahawk or something (not too up to date on my Z390 boards for thermals/performance)

Intel 9900KS 9900K 9900KF or wait for 10th Gen 10900K (yet another 14nm)

AMD

Highest clocks for gaming 3800X, 3700X might OC to that. 

Need tons of threads, look at 3900X and higher like 3990X (big money)

There's always ThreadRipper if you got the moneys. 

Or wait for Ryzen 4000 desktop (around September I believe.)

I am 13 if I have a budget of like 4000 I just need a good combo for with that gpu

 

We the public cannot read minds.

You can use any cpu you want. 

The higher the frequency, the better the frame rates.

It's not much more complicated than that.

Once you have a set dollar amount you can budget the processor you can afford. 

Till then, I can suggest anything. 

 

I'm sorry if you don't understand my answers. I'm not trying to get you upset at all. I'm usually just straight forward with information first and once we've gotten the information you've needed, we can do some slap stick comedy or something. Just how I am, please don't be offended.

how about a budget?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Ryzen 3600 if all you're doing is gaming.

If there's any unique things you're using the PC for, give us more info.

Plz can you be serious 

you won't share any details I'm gonna throw random CPUs out.

 

bottleneck is determined entirely by your performance target and what games you play.

you failed to supply any useful information.

 

 

just buy a Ryzen 5 3600, it's basically impossible to be disappointed by. if you want to treat yourself, buy a Ryzen 7 3700X.

ok I'll explain some stuff

 

Streaming is resource-intensive because it takes lots of processing power to encode video and compress it enough to be uploaded without losing visual quality.

Traditionally, this is done on the CPU, and if you don't have enough CPU power, you won't be able to  encode video while gaming smoothly at the same time.

NVENC uses a hardware encoder (specialized chip) on the GPU which takes comparatively very little GPU resources. If you use NVENC, you'll see very little (if any) performance hit. However, NVENC is not as high-quality as true CPU encoding. New NVENC on RTX cards is pretty darn good though. Linus has a small video segment comparing encoders here: at 5:50ish

 

So basically you have two options:

Ryzen 3600 is more than enough for gaming, but that means you will need to use the NVENC encoder. I'd reccomend this, since NVENC is very close to CPU-encoding, and this option is cheaper

 

Ryzen 3700X has more cores (and therefore more CPU power), so you can do CPU encoding without losing much performance on the 3700X. This will result in slightly higher quality, but costs more.

 

If you need help making a build, msg me or make a thread on the pc builds and planning category with a location and budget.
