I am building a pc and buying the parts piece by piece. I originally bought a 7700x but returned it and got a 7800x3d. I was set on this chip but recently I have been thinking of getting the new 9900x. This would mostly be a gaming PC but would also be using it as a personal computer. Tasks would include browsing the web, work Tasks that would probably be things like using Microsoft Word PowerPoint etc and possibly very casual beat making. Are the extra cores that much better for working?
