Ryzen 5800x or Intel i9 10850K

Hi guys,

I am trying to buy a new PC as my i7 5930K is starting to show its age. I am torn between the Ryzen 5800X and the Intel i9 10850K. They are similar in price. I was thinking of the Ryzen 5900X but it is now way too expensive compared to the 5800X or the i9. Some inputs from owners of the mentioned cpu would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

ah my email alert for some reason was not going off! I am mainly going to use it for gaming. I currently have the i7 5930K which is serving me well but worried that pairing it with a 6900XT will hold back the gpu. It is currently running at 4.5Ghz under water. Going from 6C 12T to another 6C 12T does not feel like an upgrade so that was why I was looking at the two cpu. 5900X is amazing but overpriced.

Decided to not upgrade CPU. Just bought a GPU and my wallet is so light that I want to cry.

Thanks guys. The weekend deal of the 5900x sealed all dilemma. I went for AMD as I wanted to use SAM with my 6900XT. The price difference between the 10850k and the 5900x due to the offer was around £100. I know that £100 is not by any means small but I think it was worth the extra.
