Amd Rzyen 9 3950x VS 10th Gen Intel Core i9-10900K

Hi I'm currently running a amd rzyen 5 and want to upgrade but can't choose between these to. Im running a 2070 super gpu and 32gb 3400hrz ram. Generally just looking to make the best set up for gaming. so the question between these two what would be the best and why? Thanks in advance for all feedback,

10900k is the better gaming cpu but why are you looking to upgrade? What resolution/fps are you playing at?

Im running 144 fps and cant recal the resolution of the top of my head normally its on the highest possible. Just looking to upgrade as I'm a bit of odd person and want a white motherboard as my whole build is white based and thought may as well upgrade the cpu to

Why not get a 3900x and put the difference into a better gpu which will probably give you more performance.

3080 due for release soon

Whats wrong with the 2070 super?

Same thing that’s wrong with your Ryzen 5

(sod all!)

Nothing as long as it meets your requirements.

What's wrong with your ryzen 5 ?

Obviously the 3950X, even more so if it’s a drop in upgrade.

If money isn’t much of a concern then maybe an 8 pack binned 10900, really highend Z490 and proper water cooling setup?

Just get a white x570/b550 mobo then and upgrade to 4th gen ryzen when it comes out if you feel the need.

Unlikely to see much gaming performance difference with a new cpu (above 1080p anyway) , much better off getting a stronger gpu if you want to run games maxed out - wait for next gen though as it’s just round the corner now
