Posted July 6, 2020 Hi, in my computer I have an lga 1151 chip socket motherboard. I was wondering If I should buy a really good Cpu for Intel such as an Intel i9 9900k. Or should I get an amd cpu and a am4 motherboard. (I mainly use my computer for light coding, gaming/streaming, and editing my YT videos, My computer is having trouble rendering).

Posted July 6, 2020 If you already have a satisfactory motherboard, there's no point in switching it - get an i9-9900 and it should get the job done It's a lot faster than the 9400F CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT 16GB GDDR6 Motherboard: MSI PRESTIGE X570 CREATION AIO: Corsair H150i Pro RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 32GB 3600MHz DDR4 Case: Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic PSU: Corsair RM850x White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 6, 2020 I wouldn't use a 9900k with that motherboard. Also, for the price of the 9900k you can buy a 10700k and a new motherboard. So. I'd take a look at the 10600k honestly. That, or wait for the new Ryzen chips.

No it's not. It's any part that slows down the rest of the build. You can have multiple bottlenecks in a system, and every system has a bottleneck somewhere. You said yourself you'll get more performance with a faster CPU. What's that mean? That it's bottlenecking the GPU.

Posted July 6, 2020 At this point, I'd say get a new motherboard either way, if you want to upgrade, but Intel or AMD is a different choice. Personally I'd wait to see what Zen 3 brings later this year. The 10th gen Intel chips seem to be really competitive on price and cores/clocks (it's usually always a trade-off. AMD will give you more cores, Intel will give you more clocks). Either way you can't go wrong with either a 10th gen Intel chip or a 3000-series AMD. That math might change dramatically with the 4000-series AMD chips, though.

You have a system now that works, although not great, for what you need it to do.

If you want to upgrade I'd go Zen, better value and you can get a 3900X for less than a 9900K. Gives you 4 extra cores for rendering.

Posted July 6, 2020 Wait a few months and the buy a new motherboard and a Zen 3 CPU, or a used 3900x or 3950x if you find them cheap. Then sell your current Intel stuff to make a couple hundred bucks back.
