I'm pretty pumped. I last upgraded to the most mature quad core and waited as long as I could stand.
I love AMD but can't do it, all I do on my pc is game so best gaming fps is my only decision criteria here. Hilarious coincidence is that I just recently got my settlement check from https://www.amdcpusettlement.com/ for my long gone turd, the fx8350. Not interested in waiting for zen 3, but if it's a show stopper when it drops I'd switch.
From what I can tell the new gen of intel boards supports very fast ram speeds and that some games benefit from ram clock. So I am going to try ddr4-4500 CL18 over a kit of ddr4-3600 CL16. See what happens. Both are an upgrade over re-using my present ddr4-3200 CL15.
It's only another ~$100 to go 10900k over 10700k but I reason that I'll be able to keep the i7 cooler easier with 2 fewer cores and thus stay at higher clocks longer.
I do not understand the giant motherboard market right now, there are so many options it's a little nuts to years past. The high end options are fucking retarded!! Pay the cost of a cpu, or full tier gpu upgrade, to upgrade to the high-end tier mobo that will net <1% performance??? Simply a dumb proposition there. I considered the Strix Z490E but it is sold out, $100 more for a Maximus Hero for no assured gains... skip. So I decided to go Gigabyte Aorus Z490 Ultra, may even have better power than the Strix E. The evga Z490 FTW looks good too but isn't out yet... w/e
Recycling my 1080ti and will hold off a generation or two. I would love a fast AMD card to come out so I can use freesync2....
