birthday shopping spree

hey all!

This Friday is my birthday and i have decided to spoil myself with a cpu upgrade (have been waiting on it for at least 4 months...)

so, my current rig is as followed:

intel core i5-7600k - oc to 5.0ghz

msi gtx 1080ti armour oc

16gb 2666 dual channel (two 8 gig sticks)

msi z270 krait gaming

corsair h110i cooler

corsair rm750i psu

alianware aw3418dw running 3440X1440 120hz

 

 

so, i am planning on upgrading my cpu and motherboard, along with my memory...

 

i have two main options:

1. ryzen 7 3900xt with x570 motherboard - probably the Asus ROG CROSSHAIR VIII HERO AM4

2. intel i9 10900k with Asus ROG STRIX Z490-A GAMING LGA1200

 

for ram i am planning on getting Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 2x16GB DDR4 3200MHz CL16

 

any thoughts or recommendations for which one to go with?

or should i wait the up to six months until zen3 goes out...

 

thanks :)

your current rig looks fine, if you wanna go such high end setup, waiting is more worth it

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

Wait for Zen 3. It's a month away. A 3900X/10900K would be a waste of money.

are you sure? i herd they announced it will take up to six months about 3 weeks ago...
