I also have been watching the reviews, seems like intel is still best gaming platform. I am not interested in gaming, but the applications that i use most of the time are dependent on single core performance. I was not aware of this fact when i built my pc more than 1 year and a half ago with ryzen 7 1700x and radeon pro wx 7100. I thought the number of cores was important. No issues apart that i had to RMA g.skill flarex 2400mhz ram modules and at the meantime i took team dark pro c14 so that my mind would be at peace. I got rtx 2080 strix OC edition when it launched as the radeon pro wx7100 was not meeting my expectations. Long story short, now i have a professional GPU lying around altogether with flare x ram memory modules. The thing is that i don`t need to utilize a 750w pc for daily tasks. If a core i5 is better for cad work than an octa core ryzen, i thought that building am even smaller pc with a 450w psu at most inside a small case, would also look good on the desk. So, what do you think, should i build an intel platform or go on with ryzen ?


Right now i am in favour of ryzen 3600 as  it is only 65w,  whereas intel 9600k is 95w. What do you think?
