Budget (including currency): 3000 Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Adobe Premiere, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Large Spreadsheets, Large File Editing, 4K Video Editing (down to 1080p), Gaming, Other details: Existing PC Specs (3 Years Old) Ryzen 9 3950X Stock Speeds on a ROG Crosshair VIII Formula 64 GB GSkill at 3600mhz Samsung 970 EVO Plus M.2 NVME X 2 Aorus 360mm Radiator EVGA Geforce 1080Ti (purchase list below) I'm a content creator and occasional gamer. I use my PC a lot especially when editing and batch processing large 24mb graphic files (100's at a time). I am also editing gopro 4k footage as well as Sony 4K footage and then encoding them to 1080p. My thought process with the 3950x was that the additional cores would rock my world. However, when editing in premiere I ran into a lot of issues encoding videos and having video effects encode on my timeline without actually triggering an encoding. I realize that this is probably because of my video card. My issue is that I left the PC building game after this build and have not kept up with what is going on. Intel Series processors and AMD/NVIDIA gfx are all alien to me and after watching a bunch of LTT videos i'm still not sure what to buy or even if I need to buy. I'm thinking the i9 processors because i will get a lot of single core performance and can't knock 6ghz boost. I'm not lacking for storage on my existing drives as I use a lot of external storage. I tend to buy the higher end parts as I keep my rigs on average for around 5/6 years and then its upgrade mom time. Used hardware does not go to waste in this house and i'm not scared of spending some cash on high performance parts that will get me 4/5 years before I feel the need to upgrade. I'm only on 3 years with this rig so I guess I'm not too far off but would like some advice. Option 1 Go Intel i9 - Mobo- Vid Card and xfer the case and storage Option 2 Upgrade the GPU and wait on w/e comes next Option 3 Buy a barebone pre-config rig (cyberpower etc) and xfer in my storage etc. I dont think i need anything more than a 4080 or maybe even a 4070TI but yall tell me. oh and thanks!

I hope this is the right place...

I prefer a System with 4 Possible Access points or ability to add a 4th. ( Router + Access point upstairs) - 2 Access Points Downstairs Hopefully someone can help!

I have an origin PC as well and while I went back and forth with dropping over 5k for a system (including accessories) it was totally worth it. They put more work into the system than I would have even if I was doing the work myself.

Thanks so from what i gather maybe I'll shoot for 900 and then negotiate something a little lower. Of course I will clean and blow it out throughly including the fans and dust filters. years ago I bought an electronic duster for like 60 bucks and its powerful as hell. I always blow out my hardware on a regular basis and there's no smoking in my house so it's super clean. I did good cable Mgmt and I don't think I mentioned the included 256gb Intel ssd (which was faster than the Samsung at the time according to microcenter and cheaper.) I wasn't planning on selling anything here but thank you all for the feed back!

What's my old computer worth? What you guys think a fair asking price is ?? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/sxx4yc the case and stuff is in excellent condition and I have all the extras for the mobo etc (if that makes a difference.) im hoping to sell that and my Dell 34" 3440 x1440 or w/e display to put towards a Asus predator 34".... Thanks in advance !!!

Now I'm having ragrets about skyfart

I'm doing more gaming than editing.

I feel that goin with the x99 is what's currently the best and not necessarily what the future is. If the 6700k is the best right now..... In a bit better 6000 series with more cores will come out. I could upgrade the processor and stay current. With x99 I think I have another year at best. From some reading this seems to be the core sentiment. I have a quadcore cpu right now and haven't maxed it out I think. However, as I'm invested this much into a "custom" PC I might as well go balls to the wall. I wouldn't get the 5820, I'd probably got with the 30 for more lanes. I'm heavily leaning towards the rampage v if i go back to x99... I'm just afraid of buying current hardware that has adapted features of newer tech vs buying the newer tech which has native support. This is my thinking but I may be misinformed...

My current PC is a sandy bridge from like 2009. I have been building PC for many years but this time around I wanted to buy something where j wasn't responsible for RMA and hardware issues etc. After I priced out the parts in newegg it came to within a few hundred bucks without any of the support. So build it cheaper advice taken but but not something I want to deal with now.

(Looking at 3-5 years before overhaul) Should I spring for a second 980ti in SLI? I'm taking Linus advice and going with 1 powerful single card. I figured what I pay for the second card I can use in a year to get another single powerful card. Since my board supports it ... Should I get another m.2 ssd and raid0 it for the ultimate in speed? Any board or processor change? Should I just go back to x99 because skylarks sucks ? The PC is bought and paid for but I can still make changes.
