Looking at options for a new build and i'm kind of set on a 3700x for a all gaming mitx build (650w built in psu btw)

now i'm going to be running at 1440p with a vega 56 for now and replacing that down the line with whatever AMD throw out next round and switch to 4k at that point.

i mostly prefer to play strategy games, (hey for FM2020 and Stellaris and a bit of cities skyline atm )

i've specced my build up with a 3700x which seems to be the best bang for buck, but now i'm torn.

do i spend a bit more and go 3800x which doesnt on paper offer a major upgrade, spend a lot more and go all in on a 3900x for an additional £140 and did into 12 core goodness or do i save a few quid and go for a 3600x


regardless of what option i go for its going to be a massive upgrade over my old sandybridge but just curious to get peoples thoughts on the different options..........

whatever i get will definitely be in a MITX format built into an inwin A1 with its built in 650w psu and on a x570 Auros Pro MITX board

decisions decisions,
