For 68 quid I can understand you going for that.
Well 68quid without selling the game would you like to buy it from me lol
For £68 it really is a no brainer tbh, GJ!
Going to try and sell the game that came with it Assassins creed valhalla looks like thats a £50 game to buy at the moment.
I'd probably have bought it from you if it supported SLI!
1080ti sli niicee
It's often unsupported but extremely good when it is, I'm still pretty much always GPU bound in games on a 5 year old CPU (my PC churns through electricity like we had a free green energy revolution 30 years ago). Here's hoping we get decent affordable next gen GPUs.
haha yeah i bet! erm be interesting on what the price / performance will be on the next GPUs to be honest.

Yes, that upgrade would definitely be a complete waste. Spending that much money and not gaining loads in performance. You should definitely wait until the new 4000 series comes out. I made a similar thread a few days ago and this is what I was suggested!
I’m not expecting a massive difference between the 12c 24t chips. The biggest gains will probably be between 8 cores and under.
I would agree also. 3900x definitely better value per core than 3800x. It’s really a matter what you need. If you are looking for 4000 series chips within the next year then don’t bother, hold out till 4000 chip prices drop enough.
but if you going to settle on 3900x for the long term. Then it makes more sense. You won’t notice the gaming performance gain now but who knows what happens after 3yrs or 5yrs.
I bought a new 4c/8t 4770k some 7-8 years ago when 2c/4t or just 4c CPUs were mainstream and now that CPU struggles with things I want to do like video editing. So I have moved on to 6c/12t as a stop gap before I decide whether 3900x or 4700x is for me.
I went with it cost me £68. I do have a game to try and sell so will cost me even less.

I wouldn't upgrade now. That CPU is still great for most things. Personally I'd wait until the 4000 series come out and see how much better they are...
went with 3900x glad i did and tbh when new 4000 series come out i will be getting one to par with the 3080 if i can land on a 3080 this month!
