It seems you're stuck with the same setup forever.
It seems you're stuck with the same setup forever.
Let’s be honest, your issues stem mostly from yourself. You keep pushing AMD while insisting on Intel, and you’re also upset about the current state of Intel. That’s a classic case of conflicting beliefs. AMD would definitely be the better choice for you, no matter what you think. Whether you agree or not, it’s up to you to decide.
To continue, @AhmedIlyas here’s an overview of what a build would resemble with Intel or AMD. I’ve left out details like GPU, case, PSU, etc., as they remain consistent across all configurations. Intel would look like this: PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price CPU Intel Core i9-10980XE 3 GHz 18-Core Processor $1129.99 @ Amazon CPU Cooler Noctua NH-D15 82.5 CFM CPU Cooler $89.95 @ Amazon Motherboard ASRock X299 Steel Legend ATX LGA2066 Motherboard $257.89 @ B&H Memory G.Skill Ripjaws V 128 GB (4 x 32 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory $449.99 @ Newegg Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total $1927.82 Generated by PCPartPicker 2020-08-28 03:01 EDT-0400 AMD would be similar: PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price CPU AMD Threadripper 3960X 3.8 GHz 24-Core Processor $1349.99 @ Amazon CPU Cooler be quiet! Dark Rock Pro TR4 59.5 CFM CPU Cooler $85.90 @ Amazon Motherboard MSI TRX40 PRO WIFI ATX sTRX4 Motherboard $389.99 @ Amazon Memory G.Skill Ripjaws V 128 GB (4 x 32 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory $449.99 @ Newegg Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total $2275.87 Generated by PCPartPicker 2020-08-28 03:03 EDT-0400 In this scenario, the AMD build is pricier, but it offers significantly more performance. You receive 24 cores versus 18, and each core is more efficient and powerful. To further reduce the cost of the Intel build, consider a lower-end extreme edition processor with fewer cores, but I strongly advise against it—since you’re already investing heavily in memory and a motherboard, it’s best to opt for the superior components.**
Thanks! It really makes a big difference. The funds are almost fine.
