So I'm planning a build right now but can't decide on CPU
I'm teetering between a i7 8700k and Ryzen 1700X
I stream and game.
But I'm a gamer first and foremost.
My current CPU is a 4790k, but I want more power.

Id wait to a new gen comes out whit all the current cpus afffected by this intel scandal i woid not rush out and buy anything at the moment

 

[Joseph Schindler]

Terrible timing with pretty much every graphics card well over their msrps some by as much as 2x or more, wouldn't rush it either

 

[Jordan Harris]

The 4790k is a very powerful cpu still

 

[Brandon Ramos]

Already ordering parts for the 8700k

 

[Alexa Towers]

Trident Z RGB is pure sex

 

[Eduard NA]

I'm a i7 user but I'll say you should go for Ryzen boi

 

[Benjamin Picknell]

4790k is powerful as fuck

 

[Adalid Fuentes]
