New PC build

[andreboy70]

Goodmorning guys, I have been having an issue.

Something that makes me unable to sleep at night.

 

I want to build a new gaming computer.

I need to choose if I'm either going to go for the intel 9th gen (preferably the octa-core with HT)  or the AMD zen 2 series (the Ryzen 3000 series, preferably the top CPU)

I also have not made my mind up to either go for liquid cooling (AIO) or Air cooling (Bequiet dark Rock pro 4 preferably)

 

So why I'm upgrading/replacing:

Its becoming slow in games and I plan to buy a 3440x1440 HDR monitor (my LG 34uc88 has died and since then send back and money was refunded)

To make it short i just want more performance.

 

Specs of my current PC:
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z170x Gaming 7

CPU: I7 6700k Cooled by scythe mugen 4 (arctic silver 5 thermal paste) also OC to 4.4 Ghz ,CPU does not reach above 60 degrees

Ram: 16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 2400MHZ

GPU: Gigabyte Gtx 1070 Xtreme Gaming

PSU: Corsair RM750

Case: Corsair AIR 740

Storage: SSD: Samsung 850 evo 500gb HDD: 1x WD black 1tb and 1x WD Blue 1tb

 

I am a bit of a corsair fan as you might see. (the mouse has since then been replaced by the corsair glaive RGB if your curious :D)

I just like corsair since they have good quality products and I've never had any issues with them.

 

 

Some pictures of my PC from some time ago: Warning this does incluse a kitty cat. (also the cable management was not chaotic on the last picture, something I have fixed since then.)

 

 

My budget is around 3000 euros (3500 if I save up to the max) for a new or partially new computer.

As a new case I'd prefer a airflow oriented one, also from time to time I go to a lanparty (like once or twice a year)

 

Please help me guys...

 

Kind regards,

André

True but i'm just not sure which one would be better to wait for.

Zen 2 > Coffeelake

 

But why Coffeelake? 9th gen Intel will be out when Zen 2 is out. At that point you could swing either way, depending on how tight your budget is.

Oh, thanks for noting that, I believe the 9th gen is coffee lake refresh, right? since I meant those. Sorry

Correct. It is supposedly launching at the beginning of Oct 2018 but nothing is set in stone.

Whiskey Lake is a refresh of Coffee Lake is a refresh of Kaby Lake is a refresh of Sky Lake.
