Should I get a core i7 10700K or Ryzen 7 3700x for an RTX 3080 build

Hey guys,

I am planning on building a PC with the new RTX 3080 and was wondering what CPU to buy. I am crossing between the Ryzen 7 3700x or the i7 10700K. I game mostly but also want to stream and video edit. What CPU should I buy.

If you primarily game, 10700 Non K. The 10700k is around 400$ wheras the 3700x is 280$ most of the time. Hard to compare them price wise, but performance wise Gaming still prefers clock speed.

what resolution do you game at?

 

if it's high res like 1440p or 4K then maybe 3700x if it's a lot cheaper for you to get, since you wont see much of a difference anyways

intel is better for high FPS, in more CPU bound scenarios.

 

but consider waiting for oct 8th Zen 3 announcement at least.

I game at only 1080p

Not really much point in a 3080 then.

I planning on gaming at higher resolutions in future though

If you plan on doing 1440p 144hz or 4k 60+ go with the ryzen cpu and the 3080. If your at 1080p the 3070 should be fine.

If u need it now and arent on a tight budget. 10700k. If budget matters then 3700x since its like 130 usd cheaper. If you can wait a month or two then ryzen 4000 something.

10600K/10700K, or wait for Zen 3

My budget is about $2000 to $2100.
