Thanks for the Support! I’m not going to link the 4 core CPUs here. Yes I tested them, but if you don’t already own them, pass and get a 6 core, 12 thread CPU instead. The price difference is minor and you’ll be glad you did. The only 2 Intel CPU’s that I’d buy today are the i7-8700K and i9-9900K, depending on price and if you want 6 or 8 cores. — Intel CPUs — i7-8700K - @Amazon - @Newegg i9-9900K - @Amazon - @Newegg — AMD 6 Core 12 Thread CPUs — Ryzen 5 2600 - @Amazon - @Newegg - @EBay Ryzen 5 2600X - @Amazon - @NewEgg - @EBay Ryzen 5 3600 - @Amazon - @Newegg - @EBay Ryzen 5 3600X - @Amazon - @Newegg - @EBay — AMD 8 Core 16 Thread CPUs — Ryzen 7 2700 - @Amazon - @Newegg - @EBay Ryzen 7 2700X - @Amazon - @Newegg - @EBay Ryzen 7 3700X - @Amazon - @Newegg - @EBay Ryzen 7 3800X - @Amazon - @Newegg - @EBay Scythe Mugen 5 - ———— — Shopping Links (Affiliate Links Support Us!) — Amazon B&H Newegg Walmart EBay BackBlaze EwinRacing - Use Code TECHDEALS for 30% Off Win 10 Pro - $15 - - Use Code TD20 for 25% Off — Game Store Links — Humble Fanatical GreenManGaming — Follow / Support Us — Patreon - Twitch - Twitter -
