Gone are the days AMD processors used to run hot. Now the new AMD Ryzen chips are best chips around with more cores/threads to price/performance ratio. AMD Ryzen chips are the best in multi-threaded applications while Intel still reigns in single-threaded applications. Intel is costly both regarding Mobos and processors when compared to AMD Ryzen.

PS: You need after market CPU coolers for Intel while AMD Ryzen provides its own stock coolers which are more than sufficient.

Acer KG271 27 inch LED is a AMD freesync monitor won’t it be an issue with Nvidia GPUs ?
