It sounds like budget isn't an issue, so I'd be watching reviews on the i7 12700 and 5800X3D.
Zen 3 with 3D V-Cache vs Alder Lake x86 hybrid, Fight!
www.tomshardware.com
For gaming, tomshardware had 5800x3d 13% faster than the 12700k at 1080p, 7% faster at 1440p, against the 12900k it was 9% and 5% faster respectively
Below also worth a watch, again, conclusion, recommendation is wait for new components as coming out soon but if can't wait, if building purely gaming rig, 5800X3d way to go, if want good all round performance
i have a good budget for it and im going Z690/ddr5/i7 for her. 6950XT if i can squeeze it in.
yer, none gaming 4k.
cheers all.
Seeing lots of yt about rtx 4090 being launched early, poss July. Not sure I'd be wanting to drop over £1k on a gpu at the end of it's 2yrs cycle with new gpu's on horizon which are reported going to blow current gen out the water.
Agress with lee32uk, DDR5 not worth the price/performance atm
However, if you are doing it, and it does increase performance, though not by the same ratio as price increase, the below board is meant to be excellent, as is on offer away for £252.93 (so £167.06 saving), which goes a long way to offsetting the cost of the Ram. Review of board at bottom
My basket at OcUK:
Total: £419.99 (includes delivery: £0.00)
