already have the 2080 ti and the 3700X?

 

if not, wait for the 3070 and maybe 4th gen Ryzen

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

So I just want to know if a ryzen 7 3700x will bottleneck a 2080 ti 

I will be useing this computer for blender and gaming ultra settings 

No, (or yes? Depends on how you mean it) for 95% of things.  Two of them are some kinds of video production and playing a few types of games on very small monitors at very high refresh rates though. 
 

So more or less not enough info. Very good chance you’re not an edge case, but if you are to answer one would Need to know what sizes of video production and which kinds of games 
 

@Fasauceome has the best suggestion though if it can be followed.  

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

It's depends on the type of game, but generally, the most stress on the CPU comes from handling frames from the GPU, if you're running at 1080p in something like CS:GO and pushing 500fps, yeah, that can put a lot of stress on the CPU, but normally, you're going to be getting a card like this for AAA games at 1440p or higher, and the framerate is just not going to be high enough to significantly tax the CPU. Even if it's a game that actually uses the CPU, the 16 threads on the 3700X are going to be plenty.

 

However, unless you already have the 2080 Ti, you should wait for the 3070. Same or slightly better performance for a *much* better price.
