Well DF showed that Ryzen is bottlenecking 3080 depending on the game and resolution but Zen 3 could change that. So... Wait for Zen 3 or get Intel 10th gen.

But one thing that you may want to think about is RTX IO. Depending on how the SSD thing turns out, it could be a nothing burger or might actually have an affect on performance, specially with PCI-E 4.0 vs 3.0 SSD speeds. Since Nvidia even mentioned the benefits at their press conference, it's certainly going to be used, just the question of what speed the SSD will need to be. So I'd wait for Zen 3 at least to see how the cpu turns out.

I very much doubt I will ever feel the need to improve my build by swapping out a 4GB/s SSD with a 7GB/s SSD. I refuse to believe there is any kind of meaningful difference, even with RTX IO.

Looks like AMD is gonna reveal Zen 3 on October 8th. If they release it a week or two later then I can wait that long. I will not wait for December or later.

Most likely not but all I am saying is, if Zen 3 within a few % points and gives you PCI-E 4.0, maybe just keep the RTX IO in mind before making a purchase. If it's like 10% or more, then yea, getting the Intel is like no question.

Also your ability to get a 3080 at launch will show your ability to get zen 3 cause both are gonna be out of stock within minutes guaranteed. When 2000 series launched, that shit was out of stock for months and it was one of the worst series of cards in terms of Value.
