So I'm looking for more parts for my new build. Does anyone really think it's worth to go AMD just for PCIe4? I really don't want to spend money on Zen2 when there is a perfectly fine 10900K. And I really don't want to wait for a Zen 3 that may or may not come this year unless I really have to.

Also, there are apparently no white mainboards for either Intel or AMD, I hate people.

Fine for what exactly?

For just gaming, a 10600K would be amply enough. The difference is measurable, but within just a couple frames.

For productivity, a 3900X is much better and cheaper at the same time yet not much slower in gaming. And you could upgrade to Zen 3 later this year, which most likely will finally also take Intel's gaming crown away.

I know you don't want to wait, but with Ampere, Big Navi and Zen 3 practically just around the corner, I'd say now is a pretty bad moment to start a new build.
