sell the parts individual you'll make more search ebay for sold listings for each part

look for PCI-Express 3.0 x4 newegg has much better searching features

nvme m.2's are much faster, i would recommend the samsung evo 960 series Max Sequential Read Up to 3200 MBps Max Sequential Write Up to 1900 MBps

thats what i suggested two 14 cores for 399 v3

personally i would spend more on video cards and ssds 6 percent gain for 60 percent more cores

the 7900x thats pre-overclocked by intel competes in most real world tests with threadripper without the loss in gaming performance

plus 5960x easily overclocks to 4.5 to 4.6

haha cinebench is not real world, ....vegas pro...adobe premier.... handbrake

threadripper loose a lot in gaming and gain almost nothing compared to a 3 year old intel 8 or 10 core part in content creation and encoding

28 cores and 56 threads with similiar ipc to threadripper a fun build maybe not so pratical

the question is can you get one for retail $229

1.3volts @4.4 should run 99 percent of 5960x's .....i have mine 1.3 running @4.5 with load-line configuration set max i would send screenshots but i have an asus motherboard there are plenty of guides on youtube for your mobo

overclock it and get a 1080ti

I am unfamiliar i haven't owned similiar hardware since 2012
