question X299

[Dr,Mike]

Hi everyone. I'm planning a build of a new computer,
And wondering what I can expect to get from a x299 motherboard, and if it's worth the money to buy one?

What CPU do you intend to use with an X299 motherboard?

 

Welcome to the forums

depends on if you are going to use it for multithreaded tasks. if you only want gaming, go 7700K, or if you want gaming and some editing stuff, go ryzen.

[themctipers]

not really unless you want maybe 5% better IPC over ryzen

in not in to amd, so im try atleast to get I7 and 1080 gpu on it. I have looked on a gigabyte motherboard http://www.gigabyte.se/Motherboard/X299-AORUS-Gaming-9-rev-10#kf

That morning when you wake up and realise you need a more original account name...

 

X299 is only good value if you are running heavy AVX2/AVX512 workloads, otherwise Ryzen is much better value.

If you do not care about cost and willing to spend nearly twice as much for 20-30% more performance, then go for it.

It doesn't matter if you're "in to" AMD or not. depending on your use case and/or budget, it can be a better option by miles.

But seeing as you still haven't stated your use case, its hard to judge...

CPU is not very heavily used for 4k gaming, focus your money on the GPU.

For VR and streaming an R7 1700 would be a good choice.

okey thanks. I think a gtx 1080 ti would be good for 4K or what do you think?

[Princess Luna]

Yeah for what you want you should instead get a x370 board with the ryzen 7 1700, throw the 1080ti on it and you're set for all you listed.

 

When buying Ryzen you need a good and reliable 3000~3200mhz memory ram.

okey I got it thanks
