Buying a new pc

[Omer6543]

Hey, I am going to buy a new PC very soon and I am going to use it mostly for unity, gaming

This is the specs that I built https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HwT6DZ

The RTX 3090 I already have from my old pc I don't want to upgrade (planning to upgrade to RTX 5000)

 

I already have ram and storage  (bought them at a very good sale)

 

I am not sure if should I go for intel on amd (the prices are a bit the same

because :

amd -

1. Ability to upgrade the cpu so if I want in the future

2. lower power usage

intel -

1. better performance

2. high power usage (because electricity cost is a bit high in the country that I live)

3. can't upgrade anymore

what do you think?

Thank you

If you're gaming?  Get the x3d.  If it's for work?  The X is the better choice.

 

If you're doing both, you can pick.  If it's JUST gaming?  The 7800x3d is the clear winner.  (The X3d chips are also crazy low power draw.  Capping at like 125W, vs waaaaay more on the other chips.) 

 

Intel won't have any upgrade path after 14th gen, so don't bother.  (and 14th gen is kinda lame anyways)

Does the 3DX of the 9750 have a lower power draw than the x ? Is there a huge difference ?
It both but mostly for work

I'd say the 7950X3D is the best because it has both lower power consumption and you only really lose like 0.1 of a minute or 0.2 of a minute in a blender render

Yes

no, only very slightly worse in blender but better in compression

If I want to get the 3d version I would need to add 160usd from the x  does it worth it?

about memory and storage 
I already have corsair 7200hmz 34cl  and 2b storage I got them at a very good sale
and the nzxt color + case because aesthetics and good performance 

is there a reason that you changed both of them?

Check the benchmarks and see if it's worth it for you.  For gaming X3D chips are /the best/.

 

They smack intel 14th gen silly still.
