CPU Recommendations

[m0ody]

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to build a bit of a monster gaming/streaming rig and I'm stuck on Intel/AMD... AMD is looking like the stronger gaming processor but any advice on a top spec processor would be very welcome. Looking at getting CPU water cooling, going in a rig with a 3080. Thanks

5800x 8 core or 5900x 12 core would be the best options imo with an x570 motherboard and 32gb of ram .

Tried to link my build from a website to build specs but it was starred out

Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI) ATX AM4 Motherboard

Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory

Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI) ATX AM4 Motherboard

Something like that setup?

Yes but i would get the Msi x570 tomahawk Wi-Fi its one of the best value motherboards.

5800x should be enough but the 5900x is a beast and those extra cores may come in handy .

What resoloution you gaming at ?

Currently 1080, finally looking at this RIG to see what I can push to though!

X570 tomohawk with a 5900x and some decent 32gb 3600mhz CL16 ram would work really well.

I’m running the same but with a gigabyte Aorus b550i mini ITx board and it works fantastically

A lot of people recommending the Tomohawk to me so I think imma take your guys advice and grab myself a tomohawk

What do you think the fit of the tomahawk would be in a NZXT H510 Elite ATX Mid Tower Case?
