AMD Vs intel

[aoaaron]

I'm either going to buy a GTX 1080ti or a RTX 2080.
I am currently on a 4670k/8GB RAM and think it might be worth upgrading them.


I now do video editting and photo editting, the 4670k sucks at 4k video editting.

I mostly game though and emulation is a thing I sometimes use.

What are my options, intel versus AMD?

Whatever you buy will be good for one and great for the other.

The i7 8700K is the best gaming chip on the planet, as well as emulation, but on 4K editing you'd be better off with a Ryzen 8C/16T if it's able to use the threads.

Thank you! Is there anything coming out in the next few months to make me smart to hold fire? I don't mind upgrading in pieces.

to be fair i've never upgraded my CPU... its always just been a new rig so I'm not sure if upgrade path really matters to me...
