cpu choices, who wants to help?

[Rough]

I run a I7 8700K and flat out love it  pc boots up in under 20 seconds, gaming is out of this world any game fully maxed out

i run a 4790k stock clock, 16gb ddr3, msi rx580 8g, 512gb nvme m.2 ssd, and a bunch of storage. win 10

my computer does a cold start boot in 13 seconds. from completely off to waiting for my input at the desktop

 

have zero complaints about the 4790k.

like i said, i might as well go ryzen instead of intel because i need a new motherboard anyway.  ryzen seem to be a much better value. performance is way up there unless i want to spend 1000+ on a cpu.

 

For all I know Ryzen will want the rather expensive DDR4 RAM, will not take DDR3,

Ryzen 3 chips announced worth looking into.

I run a i7-5820K and wish it was faster.  =(

update: this is what i settled on, only regret was i forgot to check if the motherboard had opitical out. this one doesnt. 

so far its been a beast. but im ready to upgrade to the new ryzen already.  lol

That should work for most tasks without issue. The new Ryzen chips look good from the reviews I have seen.
