I've got a rtx 2070 but the rest of my parts are like 10yrs old. I'm mostly interested in what CPUs are worthwhile and why as there seems to be some pretty significant differences . Like do I bother with something like ryzen 7 for rendering or should I pick a more common CPU?
Better CPU's a definitely worth it for code compilation/creating builds. On one project there was an hour difference between my i7 building compared to a co-workers i5.
