Unless you are self employed, will you get paid more for doing said work?

Informing yourself of a new expensive purchase will save you money.

Concluding - you should carry on looking at upgrades...much more interesting:cool:

I would like TPU or ComputerBase to do at least a 16+ game bench with the latest patches, I bet the gap between the 3900X and 9900K is less than 3% now (2080 Ti @ 1080p).

At stock sure but this is overclockers, stock is something normal people do when they buy a PC in-store at Rumbelows.

9900k is the honey badger of this generation of chips, corrupting your soul you with all sorts of juicy promises of 5.4GHZ all-core and 4900mhz RAM clocks. It will be a fleeting affair until the 5.5GHZ bins arrive next year.

3900X is the dependable marks and spencer decision, great at lots of stuff, you might even want to marry it and keep it for a number of years. Once you get depressed looking at the honey badgers gaming scores you can always keep running Cinebench to re-assure yourself of a purchase well made.
 
I think I may be going AMD first time for a long while , just been catching up on the news about the AMD Ryzen 9 3950X , it`s reported to cost $750 when it comes out , not sure what that will convert to in pounds.
The motherboard on the x570 are a lot more than for the INTEL I9 .

Didnt see intel are about to drop their prices then? Waiting would've been the no brainer.

To be honest it usually takes months for the prices to actually come down in the real world and it's going to be what 30/40 quid? I mean OC having been charging pretty much the same price since day one for the 9900k. For the sake of 30/40 quid I can't be bothered to wait 2 or 3 months. Not like it's cost me full price as I've sold my previous mobo and cpu that offsets it by about 40%.

Nah fair play, I'm a wannit now person. They were only £400 a few weeks ago and the 9900KS is about to drop. Like you say, 'when' the prices drop, could be waiting for ages. Enjoy your monster CPU anyway and I hope it's a golden one.

We will see, I tend not to be that bothered about getting the max so I only overclock slightly, by this I mean I will be happy enough if I only get 4.8/4.9 out of it.

Over at Kitguru they got 8pack demoing some new intel OC'ing software that does it all for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKF074M87MQ

Performance maximiser. Leave it to test your system for 3 hours and come back and it'll have tested and OC'd your CPU.
