AMD 3900X RETAIL AT £399.95 (£349 in store) FOR OcUK 20th BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION !!!

Looking to upgrade some parts in my current system, Ryzen 1700X, Crosshair VI Hero, Team Group Vulcan T-Force 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C16 3000MHz RAM. These will be going to a second PC. Not sure about the RAM though as the second PC still has Kingston Fury Black 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4 PC4-21300C15 2666MHz Dual Channel Kit which should probably be okay for second gaming PC with a AMD 390X running at 1920x1200.

Is the 3900X worth the extra over the 3700X? What mobo would you pair it with? Will be using a Vega 64 GPU and 27" 2560x1440 monitor, probably going for a Freesync LG850... will also be watercooling the CPU.
 
Well I bought one of these last night, now what to do with my 3800X :confused:

I'm planning to build my daughter a PC to play sims 4 at Christmas, not sure to keep the 3800X and use that or sell it and see what CPU’s are around then. I was planning on getting something like a 3400G and save not having to get a graphics card, as it's only sims she plays.

Depends on what you do with it now.

I just game, but at £350 in store it was silly to go for anything else. I'm sure those cores will exercise themselves over the next 5 years
 
Should this come with a cooler and fan?

my OC built system has a 3900x with an AIO, yesterday i needed a cooler and fan for another project and assumed (if its supposed to come with one) they would have put the unused parts in the box but its not in there.

Yes it should come with a wraith cooler, my 3800X did.

I did something similar tbh. Started out with a 3700X and ended upgrading to a. 3900X for the higher clock speed and extra cores. My main usage is football manager and that game does actually benefit from extra cores when processing the results of other football matches.

Using the stock cooler here and it does a sterling job only 1-2 FPS behind the best AIOs.

Mine will be under a full custom loop, so hoping for good temps.
