Posted August 26, 2017 So I was putting together my CPU for upcoming build, and was wondering, should I go with an X299 Chipset CPU like the i7 7740X or should I go with the kinda older X99 I7 7700k. If you have other CPU suggestions please also say them here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 26, 2017 7700K is on z270 chipset and was released in january of this year btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted August 26, 2017 Just saying, but the 7700k is 1151. Also, the 7740X and 7700K are exactly the same die, so you'd be paying up for a bigger socket and a better motherboard.

As stated here they are the same thing, but you pay twice as much for the 7740X motherboard, with NO extra benefits or technologies on the board - seriously, none!

Plan on playing games like Star Citizen with it. in this case i recommend the AMD ryzen 1700 or 1700x. they have 8 cores and 16 threads and cost about as much as the 7700k but will have similar performance in games that are cpu intensive and can utilise that many threads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 26, 2017 Author So in conclusion to this, some people are saying wait for new processors, others say go with the old ones on the motherboards that wont cost your kidney. I think I may go with the I7-7700k Then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's really good. 2 minutes ago, TheCherryKing said: The Core i7-7820X is a good option. It will be release shortly. If you're going to pay $600 then you should get Threadripper.

If somebody wants a part from a specific brand I respect their preference instead of busting their balls to get a competitors product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not at all, the only thing that is different is the chip (obviously) and the motherboard since it is a different socket. but motherboard manufacturers implement the same technologies and bells and whistles you could want on both amd and intel sockets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be willing to switch to AMD, if the performance is much much better and stable, and its cheaper for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
