I'm unsure where to go for my next Windows 7 build. I've had the e8500 running XP for a while but fancy using 7 for a bit and play some games that are on Steam that don't like modern hardware or don't support 4:3 like MOH airborne and Brothers in Arms and Condemned.
I'm turn between these CPUs and whilst I am leaning towards the x3 because it is 'interesting' the board I have only had two RAM slots so I'd be limited to 4GB of RAM.
Any of these builds would be paired with an SSD and a graphics card with about 8800GT performance. For some reason I have an 8600GT, GT340 and 4830 all of which perform similarly with the 8600 being a bit slower obviously.
Ryzen 3700X | 16GB 3600MHz RAM | AMD 6800XT | 2Tb NVME SSD | Windows 10
AMD DX2-80 | 16MB RAM | STB LIghtspeed 128 | AWE32 CT3910
I have a vacancy for a main Windows 98 PC
