Which CPU and MB to get

[Holmes2468]

I'm looking at upgrading from my older Intel i7 4790k to either a i7 7700k or a Ryzen 7 1800x CPU. I had also been trying to debate on getting a i7x cpu as well. 

 

 

The reason why I'm debating in the upgrade is that the AMD A10 in my parents computer is going bad and I was going to rotate my old parts into their computer.

There's no need to upgrade. You'll not see any significant benefits from upgrading to 7700K, however if you're upgrading to 1800X then you'll see huge jump in multi performance.

Obligatory "wait for coffeelake" since it releases tomorrow.

You would not see a big difference with a 7700k, but something like a 8700k or 1800x (although a 1700 would be better price/performance) would increase your multi-threaded performance.

No, I'm upgrading to giving my i7 and MB to my brother. Then his i5 and MB to my parents computer. 

 

 

Unless you know a good value build for a computer that is for internet browsing. The monitor is a 3440x1440

I was kinda looking at this combo if I went with the 7700k.

I see. You're only gaming or doing other stuff?

 

If you're doing both gaming  and editing etc. Then 1700 will be best for you.

 

If you're only gaming, get the 8700K once it's out, but wait for reviews first. Don't buy 7700k. It runs hot unless you delid, so I suggest to wait for reviews.

I have 1800X and I'm more than happy, playing at 4K and all. But that's me, you're different since you most likely have 100Hz panel or something, which 1800X would achieve but then again, it's all up to you.

I game with mine. My gpu is a GTX 1080 and I run a 3440x1440 ASUS Swift with g sync.  

 

My old LG ultrawide monitor went to my parents. I've been also debating on upgrading them at a Ryzen 3 instead but that would mean that I will have to buy a graphics card for them.

For 1800X, Asus Strix X370-F (i "sorta" have, waiting for its arrival), Crosshairs and Gigabyte Gaming 5 or K7.

According to a few sites, the 1800x would be a improvement over the older i7 4790k.
