Posted June 26, 2020 Ayo. Basically -- 3600 + B550-something-with-decent-VRMs, or 9600KF + EVGA Z370 (I can BIOS update this, dw) Micro (or maybe a 9700KF if I can fit it in the budget). 9600KF comes in at $100 cheaper than the 3600 combo (based on pricing with the Steel Legend, but I'm open to other recommendations for boards) My workloads are: - Gaming (CSGO, Valorant competitively, Forza H4 and COD MW on the side) - Photo editing (Minor edits with Lightroom and some Photoshop, nothing intensive) - Occasional video editing with Resolve, usually H264 1080p but some H265 4k60 The only thing that really scares me is the 6threads on the 9600KF and how that'll age with time - I was burnt hard by the 4670K in games and I don't want that to happen again, so I'm shying towards more threads/cores. Thanks for your responses / thoughts. idk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 26, 2020 Going with Coffee Lake (9000 series) makes literally 0 sense now. Either go with a 10600K and Z490, or 3600/3700X and B550/X570.

What's your budget, and what parts do you need to purchase exactly? the board's real cheap -- that's the only time for me that it'd make sense. board's $140AUD for .. what's really an 8x50a stage vrm with mediocre onboard audio and great memoc. i'm coming from a ddr3 platform so i'm buying the whole thing from scratch. budget is soft cap of around 750AUD (cpu/mem/mobo/psu), hard cap of 1k. idk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
