So, my 4690K is still here. and my feet are firmly itchy now...
Been saving into the "PC fund" for years now and I think it's time to upgrade.
I considered splurging on a new "2080" GPU or whatever when it comes around but I figure that my 1080 can handle everything I throw at it in 1440p. I don't think the 2080 would as comfortably handle everything in 4K. o no real need for upgrade there. (Basically I am not upgrading my GPU until I go 4K and I'm not going 4K until a GPU can run 4K as comfortably as my 1080 des 1440p).
So CPU it is.
I really am leaning towards Ryzen because of more cores/threads, company ethics and supporting the "underdog".
But in truth, all I really do now is surf the web, watch youtube and a bit of gaming. Am I just throwing my money away either upgrading, or buying Ryzen? Does it make more sense for me to sit tight or buy Intel? I used to edit videos but not so much nowadays. I don't stream. I just can't think I would make use of all 16 threads.
Not sure what I want to do...
