i already am using a 1650 OC i just need help cuz dum

[Jonathan Lee]

Any reason you're going for 10th gen intel? 12th gen isn't much more expensive and way better imo.

[Dr0idGh0sT]

Whyy? What is a point of paying 709 USD in this combo?

 

 

[terabase]

You never said what this build is for.

11900K is probably one of the worst value CPU of recent years. I'd go with 12700K (12900K if you're a heavy multitasker). Here is what I would recommend:

 

PCPartPicker Part List

CPU: Intel Core i7-12700K 3.6 GHz 12-Core Processor  ($418.49 @ Newegg) 
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black 82.52 CFM CPU Cooler  ($109.95 @ Amazon) 
Motherboard: MSI PRO Z690-A WIFI DDR4 ATX LGA1700 Motherboard  ($239.99 @ Newegg) 
Memory: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory  ($152.99 @ Newegg)

Total: $2946.37

I'd go 6900xt over 3090 mainly due to price. Their performance is relatively the same except for ray tracing.

[Jonathan Lee]

Or alternatively AMD:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 3.7 GHz 12-Core Processor  ($483.99 @ Newegg) 
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black 82.52 CFM CPU Cooler  ($109.95 @ Amazon)

Storage: Samsung 980 Pro 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive  ($179.99 @ Amazon) 
Video Card: ASRock Radeon RX 6900 XT 16 GB OC Formula Video Card  ($1559.98 @ Newegg) 
Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow ATX Mid Tower Case  ($79.99 @ Newegg)

thank you, alternativly the graphics card isnt what im scared about since i think i can work around the price (using a bot tho i dont scalp) but wouldnt it be better to use an i9 over an i7?

[Jonathan Lee]

Depends on your use case. The i7-12700K will beat any 11th gen processor so I wouldn't worry about it. The only difference between the i9-12900k and 12700k is that the i9 has 4 extra e cores. The e cores is not really useful for gaming applications, but if you're work load is more heavily multi-thread it will help. If you also tend to have a bunch of other programs running at the same time it can be beneficial. For most people though, I would say the 12700K is plenty for today and the future.

 

For your information:

 

i9-11900k is 8 cores, 16 threads (not much better than i7-11700k)

 

i7-12700k is 12 cores, 20 threads (8p + 4e cores)

i9-12900k is 16 cores, 24 threads (8p + 8e cores)

Right now, it's more like what flavour of ice cream do you like? Both are good and within spitting distance of each other. Ryzen 5000 series is at end of life so probably is more stable, while the 12th gen intel is newer architecture and might have some teething issues. If you're looking a pure performance though, intel 12th gen is the best.

[terabase]

what works with an rtx 3090 better?

 

[Jonathan Lee]

either one would work well with the 3090, but I would lean towards the 12th gen intel because it's faster.

so like can u give me a good build to save up for/ buy?

[Jonathan Lee]

what do you need the computer for? 

 

are you a heavy multi-tasker? (i.e. running a bunch of programs at the same time)

 

single or multiple monitors?

 

what resolution do you plan to run? (1080p, 1440p, 4k)

 

how long do you want to keep the build before upgrading stuff?

 

hard to recommend a build without knowing any of these factors. I'd just go with my first post if you want to be safe:
