Should i wait for gen 3 CPU to be back in stock or buy a gen 2 CPU.

[justinislit]

So i was planning on building a a new PC for gen 3 but i heard from some people that gen 3 won't be back in stock constantly until March of next year. Same thing with new GPU. I had my eyes on 5900x because of 12 core which im going use for cad and some gaming too. If I brought a CPU it would be a 3700x or 3900x. Should I wait for a couple months or just go ahead and buy a CPU.

 do you need the pref now? Then buy now. Are you willing to wait for a lot more? Buy then.

If you know you're going AMD, then I would advise purchasing the MB now. You can always wait for a Zen 3, or if you need it sooner, go for a Zen 2. The concern being that once Zen 3 in stock, those will fly off the shelf along with MBs to support them.

 

The only problem is there is a limited return period. So if you find out you have a problem with the MB, you might have to talk with the vendor rather then just return it from the store you bought it from. So keep that in mind too.

Just buy x570/b550 and a super cheap zen 2 processor then upgrade to zen 3 whenever they come in stock
