Hi,

I was wondering if the Intel® Core™ i7 7820X is good for gaming or not? As some people say that is it terrible and others say thst it is good . My GPU I will use with the Intel® Core™ i7 7820X is going to be the Nvidia GTX 1080 TI .

Will this be good for gaming or not ?

Just for fun i kinda rebuilt that 3600$ Build and well... It would probably cost you 2800 so more then 800$ less.
And Alienware isnt even mention some of their parts like Motherboard and PSU or Graphicscard manufacturer. These are probably cheap ass stuff :D

Anyway if you wanna take a look, here it is:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: Intel - Core i7-7820X 3.6GHz 8-Core Processor ($555.00 @ SuperBiiz)
CPU Cooler: Corsair - H60 (2018) 57.2 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($69.89 @ OutletPC)
Motherboard: ASRock - X299 Extreme4 ATX...

But I am also interested in making videos as well like rendering and that . And using photo shop. So would the Intel® Core™ i7 7820X be better for this or not ? I will be gaming but also using video rendering tools like Sony Vegas .

Would the AMD still be a better choice?

Vergilangleos does make a good point about the nvidia rtx series releasing in a week and intel coming out with new cpu's soon. The 7820x and Ryzen 2700x will perform about the same in all tasks.

But again will it be more money and more expensive ? Buy this also comes to mind I thought the GPU is the most important in games ? And as I was planning to go for the Intel 7280x . And my GPU.will be Nvidia GTX 1080 TI .

So will thst be crap for gaming . And for the build it will cost me £3479

This system would be excellent for gaming. Period.

Are there better gaming solutions, especially for the money? Yes.

in gaming gpu is more impotant thats why i recommend wait a few weeks and get nvidia rtx series , gtx1000 wont supprt ray tracing in games
in cpu intensive workloads cpu is more important thats why intel 9th gen will be superior to 7820x and also will cost less

3 grand + is a lot to spend.

Anything better than an I5 /R5 and you will hardly notice the difference in games, the video card, RAM and Drive will make a bigger difference.

If you are going to game and do the occasional Photoshop/video go Intel, if you are going to do a decent amount of productivity work go AMD.

True the new Nvidia cards are imminent, but there is always something new due and if you waited for every new thing nothing would ever get bought.

If it were me, I would build my own using the R2700X, a fast Nve SSD, and Lots of RAM.

PS
No modern PC for personal use needs a 1500 watt PSU

But what is bad about this build of mine ? Is it the CPU or GPU. As I am going for the Nvidia GTX 1080 TI. Is this not a good choice?

The only noticable difference is the pocket killing price tag!

Wait for the new 9th intel Generation and get that processor. X299 is more like a "throw your money into the campfire" thing.

Nothing is "bad" about any of it.

It's just a colossal waste of money, when equal or better solutions are available (or shortly will be) that will be better and/or cost less.

The point is, that if you wait a few more months you can get WAY more performance for nearly the same price (probably cheaper). Its not worth going for the 7820X with its 700€ (what ever this is in USD) if you can get latest an greatest Intel Desktop 9th gen with same Core/Threads for probably 400-500 USD. Motherboards are also way cheaper.

The PC you posted isnt bad, but it is far away from beiing a good value/performance pc excpecially with new tech coming veerrryyy soon!

Would a Intel® Core™ i9 7900X (10-core, 13.75MB Cache, up to 4.5GHz with Intel® Turbo Boost Max 3.0) be a lot better then the Intel® Core™ i7 7820X (8-core, 11MB Cache, up to 4.5GHz with Intel® Turbo Boost Max 3.0)

A lot better? No, not really. You'll see little (if any) practical performance difference with most uses, like gaming. Unless benchmarking, you will notice no difference in how the system performs.

It seems you want to buy a very high-end pre-built system. If so, go for it.

If you want to build a system, you can certainly build a gaming beast for less money that the aforementioned system.

Really a matter of what you want to do.
