Hey everyone, I’m looking to upgrade my rig and I’m a bit stuck on choosing the right CPU for gaming.

I’ve seen a lot of mixed opinions between Intel and AMD lately. Also wondering how much difference the best motherboard for gaming makes when paired with a high-end processor.

Any recommendations or experiences you can share?

I think the best is still the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D though you might want to check benchmarks of the higher end Intel CPUs as they may have slightly better single threaded performance which can benefit some emulators.
