Current setup"
Intel I5 2500k (OC 4.3 - 4.5)
Asrock P67 Pro3
DDR3 16GB
GTX780
Above hardware is still pretty good for me but many times I can feel its limitations. I saved especially for upgrade but don't want to kill my wallet.
I'm into photo editing, blender and a little bit of gaming. My hobby and pleasure not pro work.
I'm a linux user so AMD setup is preferred because of compatibility.
At the beginning I've been thinking about 3900x and in year or two replace to 5900x (or something near). But after quite a lot of research I started to think about 3700x.
Prices (polish prices recalculated to USD):
The whole setup:
Asus Tuf Gaming plus Wi-Fi x570 (no PRO version in Poland) - about 265 USD
or
Asus Strix x570-e - 398 USD (much pricier but I love better LAN/WiFi parameters)
3700x - about 372 USD [5600x has similar price - about 400 USD but it is hard to get]
or
3900x - about 525 USD
GPU
Few days ago Radeon 6xxx was in my head but it seems that instead of suggested 500 USD it's going to be near 800 so...
Maybe 5700 XT. Not sure yet.
RAM
HyperX 16GB or 32GB 3600 CL17. Depends on the mobo and CPU
What do you think?
I'm waiting for Black Friday but if I won't ba able to get any discount should I upgrade with current prices?
I ms sure that performance jump will be huge.
