CPU Question!

[fantasticCG]

Best CPU choice to go with a 1080ti possiblely an RTX Card 2080.

1440p 144hz

Games to be played Pubg, Dota2, BFV, overwatch, mainly FPS. Also online poker, YouTube, music library, literally nothing else.

Define 'best'?

If price or an available upgrade path is any consideration, then it would have to be a Ryzen 2700X. Otherwise an 8700K or above, if all you care about is maximum FPS.

Best value, for the tasks at hand, high FPS would be good, but is t that more dependant on the gpu?

6-8 core cpu

8 or 9 series cpu, very interested in Ryzen 2700x?

Thanks guys for the input! Never tried AMD before! I like the sound of those mobo’s good for 2 more generations

Ryzen 7 2700, is a 16-thread 65W relatively cheap processor, and its motherboards can be upgraded with 2! future generations of faster processors.
