I am building a computer, and need help for CPU choice

I am trying to build a PC to competitively play games like Fortnite, and Warzone at above 240 fps in even intense scenarios. I have a 240hz monitor btw. I am on a budget though, and have narrowed my choices to the 9700k, and the 3800x. Nobody lecture me about price to performance, because AMD wins, but I want to know if the Intel chip will perform a lot better when overclocked. Cooling is no problem as I have a Deepcool Assassin III. Which will perform better in extreme framrates: the 9700k overclocked, or a 3800x.

Who told you that AMD CPUs didn't perform well when overclocked? Just get the 3800x. Also, your graphics card is gonna play a bigger part into what framerates you get.

Well overclock doesn’t matter to much in some cases and just look at the price the amd is more worth it more performance maybe you can’t reach super high ghz but it has more threads

Reminder⚠️

I'm just speaking from experience so what I say may not work 100%

Please try searching up the answer before you post here but I am always glad to help

well many modern games cant scale well in more than 8 threads

if it was useful give it a like :) btw if your into linux pay a visit here

My graphics is fine. RTX 2080. I didn't say AMD didn't perform as well overclocked, sorry for the misunderstanding. I know AMD overclocking doesn't improve it a whole ton, and I want to know if the 9700k, when overclocked, performs better than the 3800x, overclocked or not.

Thank you mahyar, but I narrowed the choices down to these for that reason, and price. The 9900k is just a better binned, hotter 9700k.

I don't know, but honestly you would probably be fine with either and get super high framerates. I would personally go AMD because they have a much better value and are probably just gonna be be best in the long run.

I haven't bought a motherboard. I am waiting to choose CPU. I planned to use Asus ROG z390e for Intel, and X570 TUF for AMD.

I kinda did want to go with 10th gen, but the 10600k does perform slightly worse due to only 6 cores in those two games I mentioned. I would be willing to try if you could prove it performs better. I am considering 10700k, but only if it performs a good bit better than the 9900k.

if you are only gaming (even producvity), the 3800x is not worth it, save your money and get the 3700x

10600k has hyper threading and is based on newer architecture

3800x is only 30-40 bucks more expensive, and I am kinda leaning towards Intel.

Actually mahyar, it is still the same architecture as Skylake I am pretty sure.

New socket, more power consumed, better thermals, and same architecture as 5 years ago.

Better upgrade path as in next gen you mean? I guess if I got a cheaper one now, I could upgrade to a better one later.

Better 11th gen I mean. What motherboard would you suggest for heavy overclocking?
