cpu second thoughts

[JohnLee19869]

I have bought the 9700x for my first pc build. i got it for £242 in the amazon prime thing but it wont be sent till 15th October so plenty of time to reconsider things, having second thought about it should i consider paying the extra and getting the 9800x3d, the main reason i sent for the 9700x is the difference in price(the 9800x3d is £160 more) but the difference in price is not that important if you factor in how long i hope it last in this machine but mainly because i saw somebody going on about stuttering on their 9900x3d and so i did the worst thing i could do and searched for stuttering and the 9800x3d and there were loads of people having problems and they seem to mainly be people with x3d cpu's, now i now there are many factors involved like drivers and bios settings and even mouse settings but it put me off and i wanted to take less risk in cost and stress so went for the cheaper possibility less risky option but now i have ordered it and have 1 week to think not sure. help please.

yeah go 7800x3d, 9800x3d unless its within 50 of the 7800x3d is usually not worth it

 

and the 9700x is usually terrible value relative to the 7800x3d and 7500f as you probably wont see a notable gain over the 7500f in triple A non cpu intensive stuff and it wont even come close to the 7800x3d for the really cache dependant/cpu heavy games say msfs factorio etc.

ok thanks for the reply. the 9700x was £242,9800x3d is £400 and the 7800x3d is £330.
