Intel vs Ryzen

[Retr0_C0brA]

Budget (including currency): 6500-7000 AED or 1769-1900 USD

Country: UAE

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Lol, fortnite, COD mw, 

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I have everything covered except for the pc it self my monitor is Benq XL2411 / and the resolution I want to play at is 1440p or 1080p depending on the game at 100+ fps

 

So I've made a couple of posts about buying a pc and I think now is the right time and I have 2 builds in mind and intel one and a ryzen one and if you have a better build you would recommend please post it (possibly rtx2080s builds).

 

P.S: dont mind if the item is out of stock, Also the tax in the uae is 5% of what u buy I will be listing the builds without tax

A 3700X + 2080 Super will do much better in games than a 9700K + 2070 Super.

I would consider the Kingston A2000 a better SSD over the P1

Can't recommend that PSU. Get a Corsair RM850X/RM750X instead.

I don't have an opinion on this case, so be sure to read a review or two to see if it's decent (especially airflow).

that would bring the total to around 7212 AED not bad, but I was just wondering wont isnt intel 9700k better at preformance than 3700x? and if so is it possible to make a intel 9700k rtx2080s build?

The 9700K would be a bit stronger in games today, by a factor of up to 5-10%. 

But it might just be better to consider a 10600(K) rig, as that matches or beats either CPU in games. You would need an LGA 1200 (400 series) motherboard though.

 

But I don't see that CPU on the website you linked.

i would look at a 10600k if you were to consider intel.

Can you use a PCpartpicker list please?

 

As for the Intel vs AMD, my rule of thumb is that a similar or slightly better performing Intel system is always about $200 more expensive when you factor in the motherboard and cooler. While something like a 9700k is 5% better for gaming, because the whole config is about $200 more expensive, that means you compromise on the GPU, hurting the experience. On the AMD side you can have similar gaming performance at $200 less, not to mention awesome productivity performance. This means that you can get a more powerful GPU then you could on the Intel side, when you account for budget.

thank you all for your recommendations Im gonna go with the amd build and im gonna change the psu into a 700 watt and the ssd into a 500gb one and getting 2tb hdd and maybe going to change the case I'll make a new post when I buy the build

make sure it's a good quality unit. 550-600w should be enough for any current system. look at the PSU tier list in my signature and pick something tier B+ or A

yeah sure ill buy one of em

Get a b550 board.

Those cases have bad airflow and that will lead to higher noise.

whats the difference between the 2 mother boards oh also dont worry about the case ill probably get the corsair one listed in the Intel build or a one that has good air flow but regarding the mother boards whats the difference
