I'm trying to decide between two processors for my gaming setup. Should I go with the Intel Ultra 7 265k for $380, or is the Ryzen 7 9700x for $350 the better choice? I play a lot of CS2 and Fortnite, so gaming performance is key here. What do you guys think?

Honestly, if it’s just for gaming, skip the Intel Ultra altogether. Hardly any advantage there.
I'd definitely lean towards the Ryzen 7 9700x. If you're focused on gaming, it's more efficient and gives you better performance for the price. Intel Ultra just doesn’t make sense for a gaming rig right now.
Plus, it's often cooler and more power-efficient.
Consider also looking into the Ryzen 7 7800 or even the 9800x3d if you can stretch your budget. Those can give amazing performance too!
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll check those out.
Yeah, those newer models can really boost your FPS!
Exactly! The 9700x is a great choice for your games.
