i cant start a conversation or send over trust, not sure if i drop a hint it may get me suspended

I wonder when 5900x and 5950x will be available to buy for a regular price

Not sure anyone knows the answer to that! Sounds like supply is likely to be very limited for some time though so probably not any time soon.

Hi all,

I have recently purchased NVIDIA RTX 3090 FE and as my current spec is very weak for such a good graphics card I want to get a new Intel 11th gen processor for which I need a new Motherboard and maybe RAM as well?

My Current spec is
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z170X Gaming 3 Intel Skylake ATX
CPU: Intel Core i7 6700K 4.0GHz
Graphics Card: NVIDIA RTX 3090 FE
RAM: 16GB (2x8GB) 3000MHz Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4
PSU: RMi Series RM1000i 1000W '80 Plus Gold' Modular

PC is being used for gaming, Internet browsing, watching movies.

Questions:
1. Which Intel 11th gen processor should I get?
2. Which gaming motherboard should I get?
3. Should I get new RAM as well? I want 16GB, any advise?

I have already spent a lot on new graphics card and PS5 as well so do not want to spent a lot on those if possible.

Thanks in advance

I have a question for you. How on earth did you get one!?

If your gaming at 4K then pick up a 11400F with a B560 for £250 and it’s job done, you paid a lot for the gpu so no sense overspending on a CPU which will offer no extra performance than this one at 4K.

your current ram will be fine as well unless you find you need more capacity.

You can't mention competitor's on the forum as the forum is run and paid for by overclockers.co.uk the shop.

Would be best to edit out the above post, so you do not a warning or suspension.

got it from @@@@, was very lucky I guess, actually was aiming at RTX 3080


6 core? I wan my upgraded build to last for 3-4 years at least really so I do not need to upgrade anything any time soon so looking at i9 10850k at the moment

A modern 6 core should be fine for 3-4 years with 4K gaming.

You are the luckiest person on earth to get a 3090. I would suggest you to go with AMD Ryzen 5900 with 32gb DDR4
