If a dude was building a pure "enthusiast" grade gaming pc... would this be the "top of the line" processor? I know Intel has had some serious issues recently, but I've not taken the time to read and get up to speed just yet. I'm just curious who wound up at the top of that dog pile... strictly from a gaming perspective.

The 9800X3D will likely be one of the best gaming CPUs around but wait for reviews obviously, it may not necessarily be worth the money over the current king - the 7800X3D. Early leaks showing it may be 10% or less improvement in games.

AMD CPUs have been the no brainer for gaming PCs for a hot minute. GPUs too, if money is an issue at all. Nvidia still has the absolute highest performance but the cost on their cards are just not worth it.

Awesome, thanks for the info. I'm not planning on building tomorrow or anything. I never adopt the first iteration of anything, it's gotta pass a sniff test first.
