So I'm still on 3rd gen i7 3770k and in a dire need of upgrade. Have been very out of touch from hardware market.
Recent Meltdown/Spectre etc has not been kind either.
So my choices are following. As soon as next Intel and AMD processors are out this year,
1. Buy the better one between Intel or AMD (probably will be 3rd gen ryzen).
2. Don't bother with latest. Buy something 2nd hand (with warranty) for much cheaper and upgrade again after two years.
So I need some price estimates for choice #1 (with appropriate mobo and 32G RAM) and for choice #2 (with mobo + 32G RAM)
Note: I already have DDR3 32G RAM. So need new if DDR4.
I don't need CPU cooler. Have Noctua D15.
What I need is massive CPU power.
Suggestions are welcome.
