Ryzen 9 3900X or 7C3800X
Consider upgrading to the 9 3900X for more power, but weigh it against your current needs. Your B450M board supports a Ryzen 3rd gen, so the 3900X offers extra horsepower if you're tackling heavier tasks. The 7 3800X is a solid choice too, but the 3900X might be worth it for the added performance.
It's beneficial but ensure the board's power supply can handle the load. We've got a tier list for AM4 boards in the forum—verify it first. If it works, go for the 3900X. The additional cores are really helpful for your needs.
Having more cores boosts video rendering speed, but it's influenced by your budget.
Honestly, choose between 3700x and 3900x. You should opt for 3900x only if it matches the price of 3700x. Also, consider whether you earn from videos or it's just a hobby—go with 3700x if it's a hobby, 3900x if you can make money. Also, ensure you have top-quality RAM, ideally Samsung B-DIMM.
3800x won't help much at 3700x. Video editing needs cores, not single threads. Workload-wise it's fine at 3900x. 3950 is possible if you manage it. More cores work better. A 3700x will run okay. If you can't justify 3900x, don't expect a 3800x either. Choose the 3700x instead.
Consider the 3900x path with the mentioned VRM power supply. Besides that, examine your PSU carefully—review the tier list in the forum, understand single vs multirail configurations, and recognize that labels like "600w" or "bronze" don’t necessarily reflect real wattage or CPU/GPU performance.
I believe I’ll receive a size of 3700x or 3800x. What are your thoughts?
