Hiya guys,

Simple question really, I've an itch and with the deals on currently I'm tempted to move to an AMD build, maybe it'll pair better with my 7900XTX ..(something I'm telling myself :p)

Currently spec
13700kf
Asus strix Gaming E Z790
32GB DDR5 Gskil 6800 C32
Sapphire Nitro x 7900xtx

Was hoping I could keep the Ram and see the cpu and mobo on MM.

I've had them both for about a month.

Am I mad, should I just wait for the new platforms?

To clarify, I'm having absolutely zero issues gaming with my current system.

Just tempted to try AMD on the cpu side again, it's been a while.

Cheers
 
It's as I thought, a resounding no :p

Game at 1440p on a Rog Strix XG32VQ, case is pretty new, 011 Dynamic evo.

I was tempted by a 4k panel, or ultra wide, maybe I'll take another look there.

Thanks chaps, I'll find the cure for this itch somewhere else.
 
If you wanna throw your money away,go for it. I'm looking for donations so kids don't need to suffer this Xmas without a powerful PC. Send your details.
Haha, it's not about throwing money away really, maybe it's an OCD thing and I just like having all AMD rather than a mix I don't know.

Think I'll just wait and see what happens with the next round of updates.
 
Go for it. Fastest gaming CPU whilst drawing less power, what's not to like? If you want to minimise any bottlenecking of your 7900 XTX, you'll need a VCache CPU. ;) Source.

I knew you'd be along ;p how long do we think the AM5 platform has left? I know the z790 is dead now with the 14th gen.
And that gif is from one of my favorite films, so you're winning!

End of the day OP it's your money, if it makes you happy for 5m go for it. Logic doesn't always play a part in these things.

Cheers Noxia, i've already ordered :p

I'm in no rush to build it, still figuring out which motherboard to use ( not the Aorus extreme lol)

Appreciate all the opinions guys thanks, wasn't about saving money on electricity, or saving in general, just fancy trying an AMD cpu.

Don't really do any productivity, I'll use video editing software for my racing footage, but I don't care if it renders 10 minutes slower.

Enjoy your build, and accolade of being part of the elite master race PC club, it is far from lonely in here :D
I'm both honoured and humbled to be welcomed to such a prestigious club! :p
Now You need 4090 to push 7800x3d more
I'd been tempted, but I've used team green for many years before my 6900XT and now the 7900XTX, just fancied a change after so long.
Didn't use Ray Tracing so not really missing much.

see what happens in 24 though.
You might as well sell the 7800X3D and upgrade once the 8800X3D / whatever it's called comes out.

Now that you've you are going with an AM5 system.
I'll see about that when it's released.
