Q: Is Intel finally dead?

A: I would say that for the price and performance, AMD Ryzen is the best CPU on the market right now.

Q: I would like to buy a ryzen 3900x When this item will be on stock again?

A: Word on the street is that October 1, 2019 is when Ingram Micro, a big distributor, will have the Ryzen 9 back in stock. That would make the first week in October the likely time that competition escalates again for this product, and prices begin to come down. If you look around the Internet, you'll see really high prices by those doing arbitrage. Once AMD gets these into the distribution network and everyone can get them (like all of the major retailers), then you and I will be able to get this CPU. Now, that is still a month away, and samples (or teasers) will possibly trickle in and be snapped up due to the high demand. This is on purpose to get the demand up and to allow the fab to catch up. AMD of course wants to take advantage of the holiday rush, so they will do their best to get them on some boats soon. I can wait, as I went ahead and used a Ryzen 5 2400G until I can get the Ryzen 9. I'll just have an extra CPU and cooler once I upgrade.

Q: What motherboard works best with this.

A: For the best experience you'll want to get a motherboard with the latest x570 chipset. There are some reasonably priced models available from Asus among others.

Q: I have only the case, a Rosewill Thor. Besides the AMD RYZEN 9, 3900x 3rd gen., what else would I need to complete this package, and work in this case, and or will it work for this case?

A: you would really need to do some research on what other components you require to complete your build. The most important item (my opinion) would be the motherboard. It would have to be compatible with your cpu and your case. Once you find the board you want, go the the manufacturer's website and make a list of items you will need like memory and crosscheck for compatibility.

Q: would this work well with a asrock b450m basic motherboard or will their be vrm issues. pretty sure the website says it supports it

A: ASRock b450 supports Ryzen 3000 series CPUs and provides Restricted features for the 3900X. I would use a 550 or 570 Motherboard! Skyhawk

Q: Would this GPU work well for 3D modeling and game development? Taking a class soon and will need my new PC to be able to handle my assignments.

A: This is a CPU not a GPU. A 12 core/24 thread CPU. You will still need to pair it with a GPU in the system you build. That said, as a CPU will handle 3D modeling programs like Blender very well. Excellent power for the money.
