I'm setting up a new PC and am deciding between AMD or Intel. I have a very strong graphics card, which means I can handle demanding games like Rainbow Siege at 70fps in 4K and 120fps at 2K on my older 6-core i7 5820K CPU.

Your outdated CPU can handle OC up to 4.5GHz, which is great for a 2070 system. Otherwise, go with an R7 3700X or Intel 9900K.

Your old i7 5820k isn't working right now. You're thinking about getting a new motherboard and looking for an alternative processor instead.

Pick a Ryzen 5 3600, it’s enough without a powerful CPU like a 3700X or 9900K

Ensure you have a minimum of 9600k, an R5 3600, and an i7-8700 for optimal performance.

If your only goal is to play games with a high refresh rate, these i7 9700KF models are available at great deals right now, making them a strong choice for gaming in the 2070s price range.

I'd prefer to hold off on the Intel i9-10000000780000000000K model or any similar one.
