I have three AM4 PCs currently. It is not an addiction I could stop at anytime. I think this is the right thread for a question like this.
Server - X570 3700X 64GB DDR4 3200 ECC
My PC - B550 5900X 64GB DDR4 3600 RTX 3080 at 4K 120Hz
Kid PC - B350 1700X 16GB DDR4 3200 (running at 2666 because Zen 1 IMC) RTX 3070 at 3440x1440 144Hz
I want to retire the 5 year old 1700X. I think it is limiting the RTX 3070 in a few games. A 5700X seems like the logical replacement when the B350 gets a BIOS update.
But I could instead put the 5700X in the server and then move the 3700X to replace the 1700X. Wouldn't have to wait for a BIOS update then. Would a 3700X limit a 3070 much at 3440x1440?
Or I could wait for the 5800X3D and shuffle all the configurations. 5900X seems like a good server CPU (more threads for VMs) and 5800X3D would be great for my PC. And it'd only be $150 more.
What would you do in my scenario? Not upgrading is always an option but... not my style.
