What's the best CPU to get brehs?

That’s a difficult question. Depends on what you want to do. You want to just game or are you looking for something capable of more intensive tasks as well? You trying to jump into DDR5 or are you looking to stick with DDR4?

I am still using I7 4790k so whatever cpu I am getting will be a new motherboard as well. I want it for gaming

 

[BujuBoombastic]

For what purpose?

Any recommendations for an
high end gaming laptop?

Looking to cop one for my
nephew. Willing to spend up to
$1200.

I tend to stay in the i5 lane but you asked for the "Best" so...

I think this should be able to play most shyt on high settings. the most you can usually get with that budget is a 3060 atm

You already have a graphics card?

Yeah running a 6750 XT.

 

[Mister_DoItNice]

Yeah running a 6750 XT.

You could get yourself a 5800X3D. AM4 boards should be available at really good prices and you don’t have to worry about paying the premium for the jump to DDR5.

@AkaDemiK Post your new build for the bruhs

ROG just did a livestream for their new 4090 Matrix GPU. No pricing or anything. Basically just looks like a liquid cooled card with a metal frame and they used liquid metal on the core. They’re claiming they used the highest quality binned chips and this is the fastest 4090 you can buy. I don’t see how that’s possible though when Galax released the 4090 HOF earlier this year and that is capable of pulling 1200 watts.
