Well that is very good question , i was out there in the market and could have easily picked the AMD Ryzen , now what held me back was clearly the IPC performance over the intels offering , Ryzen is a beast of a CPU and a very good setting platform for AMD , but it still falls behind (in GAMING only) to the intel i7 and then my OCD kicks in too , even if i got the ryzen it would have to paired with a Nvidia GPU because clearly AMD is still a sitting duck in the GPU department .bro why didn't get AMD Ryzen ? ..........
Intel with Nvidia
AMD with AMD (imo it is a crime to pair a AMD CPU with a Nvidia GPU )
Just my 2 cent.
