I'm going to be ordering parts for my upcoming build in a couple of weeks and have been going back and forth concerning cpu's. I'm going to be only gaming @ 1440p and running some background applications like discord,TS, wiki's, twitch videos,and such.
I know KB is the more optimal choice for gaming but intel's shady practices with their TIM's (and their general ****tiness milking the community ) is making me want to delid them and apply liquid metal. I know it voids my warranty and I could potentially damage the CPU but it's a risk I'm willing to take if I get the 7700k. While Ryzen 7 at 1440p performs pretty much the same or at most 10 fps behind if paired with something like 3200mhz ram.
So what would you guy's suggest? Should I go with a delidded 7700k or with a Ryzen 7 chip. And also it is probably worth noting that the cpu will be paired with a 1080ti and a g-sync monitor. And, I'm not looking to upgrade the cpu and mobo for at least 4 years.
And one of my worries with going with AMD is that most of the games I play are older games that only rely on 2 cores and all the benchmarks I see online are of modern games. And that when newer titles are released I could almost guarantee a smooth(er) launch with better otpimization if I go with Intel, since that's what most developers support. Idk, maybe I'm just paranoid
Appreciate it,
