Hi Guys.
So I have watched a few videos and done some research about the latest cpu's and I still don't know what to get.
I currently have a i7 4790 and want to upgrade my cpu since 1440p is not running that well anymore - I am in two minds trying to decide between the i9 11900k and the Ryzen 9 5900X since they are my max budget - That is also the only ones I did research on - If there are cpu's which give a similar performance but at a lower cost then please, let me know.
I had a chat to guys at Wootware and they recommend the ryzen above the intel and says it is better yet gaming videos on Youtube show the i9 having a very very slight edge, and in some cases the 5900X is better although I have noticed the i9 using way more Watt.
I am not familiar at the current state as to what is "good" and which one will be the most future proof for the next few years, that is why I am rather asking you guys.
If I do go for the i9 11900k, is it possible to grab the ASUS Rog Strix Z490-E Gaming with it or should I def get a Z590? Is a z490 going to give me issues? I really really like that MB
In the case of Ryzen, I have never used AMD before and have no idea which range motherboards to get.
The RAM I currently want is G.Skill F4-4000C18D-32GTZN Trident Z Neo 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4-4000MHz CL18 1.4V - Is this good RAM? Would anyone suggest any other ram.
Budget is as follow: 10k cpu, 4k MB, 3.5k RAM
Regarding CPU Cooler - I currently have a Hyper 212X - Guy from Wootware said it will be no good for the new cpu's - He suggested the Scythe or something? I prefer an Air cooler (I also dont overclock)
