This is why I always recommend budget 50-60 or at most 70 usd mobos.
You would want to upgrade your ram to 16GB with 3200-3600 rated speed. And if you want to upgrade your GPU, I'd say wait for the new stuff latrer this year. I'd also tell you to wait for Ryzen 4000, but if you must upgrade your CPU, maybe something like a 3700x would be good if you're using it for gaming.
You don't have to wait. Everything is available right now
So now you give even a flying fuck about value?! YOU?!

Motherboard is still undecided. Most of the boards I was interested in are sold out.
For GPU, I am waiting with a trigger finger for the RTX/GTX 3080 TI. 1500 bucks locked in for that POS alone.
Suggestions are welcome.
Actually it does matter. It might not matter for performance, but it matters for what you want to buy. If you want to keep your PC viable for gaming for longer than 1 year, it's simply smarter to go for an 8C/16T CPU at this point, or even a 6C/12T rather than an 4T/8C. If you don't mind upgrading every year or so, that's another story. But that's not how most people operate. Not only is it financially taxing, it's pretty much stupid.
32gb might be a bit of a a stretch but it's fine. 3900x is also a stretch but it's fine
But fractal meshify C is too small for those components. It's a good case but it's got so little space inside that GPU have hard time breathing.
I've went down 6-8c degrees on gpu going from fractal define c to phanteks p600s. Cpu should be fine in fractal though.
As for mobo - I have 3700x and x570 is a must. what x570 is Your choice. I've got gigabyte elite and it's running 2xNVME drives great
That's precisely why it's too early to evaluate the potential value of the 3300X vs. the 3600. Since we don't know how long the 3300X will last, and how much extra time the 3600 will buy you.
Cousins build final touches have arrived thanks to newegg. Time to start building
Building is part of the fun.Cousins build final touches have arrived thanks to newegg. Time to start building
I’ve been learning slowly. I didn’t build my PC but going to build my cousins PC
Replace the cpu with a SSD. You won't regret the secret sauce.
Unfortunately I didn't get this feeling with my PC. Hopefully I get it with my cousins PC And I hope I don't fuck shit up ;p
Awesome. That’s the info I hoped to hear. Sounds like I’m in a great spot. I’ll wait. Mini ITX build here. Thanks.
the delay is pretty much right now, Nvidia cancelled their show in march,. I would expect it to come out later this year.
It can be the case both that better CPUs are available, and your current CPU will be adequate for many years to come. Isn't that the point of recommending the 3300X in the first place?
It doesn't matter if they "look bad" if they have adequate performance in the applications you want to run. The i7 2600k looks bad compared to modern CPUs, but it can still run many (maybe most) games at 60 FPS. When it launched in 2011, games weren't taking full advantage of 4 cores / 8 threads, so you could have bought a i3 2100 for a third of the price while only dropping ~20% performance. Does that mean going for the extra cores turned out to be a waste?
It's possible we will face the exact same question if there is a 4 core Zen 3. Go for 8+ cores or try to survive as long as possible with 4 cores.
Come on, Nvidia, and reveal the nee gpus + pricing!
I would wait with a lot of upgrades around the corner, prices are going to drop. If I couldn’t wait, I’d upgrade the CPU.
There's no point upgrading if you're happy with your current performance. Otherwise it depends on the game and resolution. At 1080p you are likely to be somewhat CPU limited, while at 1440p+ you should be mostly GPU limited. But if you don't have a fast refresh monitor the extra frames above 60 FPS will be wasted anyway.
Keep that gpu its good. Get rid of the cpu but be patient
yeah i was thinking of upgraded the cpu i have a 144hz monitor and i want to get better frames for it.
yeah i have a 144hz monitor and i really want the frames.
yeah i want more frames for my monitor but i really want to upgrade something soon.
