The 2700 is much slower at FP intensive tasks, plus is limited by dual channel ram. If going Ryzen it is Zen 2 where similar cash could only get you a 6 core.
 
Having said all that, for the same cash I would rather get a new 6 core Zen 2 (~£190 for CPU leaving ~£160 for nice mobo, or a bit less if you upgrade cooler which I'd recommend). The bigger caches mitigate ram bandwidth for many workloads.

you could try screen resolution/ advanced settings / uncheck "hide modes this monitor can't display" box

He bashes display manufacturers for adding multiple screens together and applying it to the vertical resolution metric. For instance two 4k screens =/= 4k, and three 4k screens =/= 12k.
 
Yet he puts the very thing in his video thumbnails to clickbait. I understand Youtube channels have to be clickbaity, but I don't see how you justify about complaining about the same tactic you utilize to increase your own revenue.
 
This is just one of the many ways he manipulates thumbnails, and one of the main reasons a lot of people can't take him seriously at all.

Uhh... I don't think that you appreciate how little overclocking effects 'life span'.  Unless you're going for extreme bleeding edge kinda stuff, an overclocked CPU will last years and years.  I mean, easily, a DECADE.  My 4930K overclocked to 4.6ghz is 4 years old, it'll go for some time still.  My 3770K overclocked to 4.2ghz is somewhere around 5.5+ years and it's fine.
 
Unless you're doing something borderline insane, an overclocked CPU will last as long as it would have without overclocking it.

Trust me overclocking makes a difference.

Well Goodbye Respawn, you will be missed.

Really don't see issues with Windows 10 on my side. 
Switched as soon as the free upgrade was available.

Under water at 90*C with at least twice the price.

Except for the fact that it completely eats into the sweet, sweet Xeon money printing machine which they wanted to avoid at all costs, sure. Or the fact that they announced the 14, 16, and 18 core parts at Computex before they even began significant design work on cutting the Xeon it was based off of down in a kneejerk reaction to Threadripper. Hell, I'd give it even odds that the entire Xeon W line was a response to Epyc.

If you do a workload that can take advantage of 18 cores then you will still benefit from much more cores rather than higher clock speed, which means that you can get EPYC for the same price of the Intel 18-core and you will get much more performance for your workload.
Not to mention that Threadripper at least supports ECC.
Paying more is not always getting better performance for your money. And being enthusiast has nothing with buying the best/most expensive stuff.

this would be the only use case for a 7350, I'd say go for it

First off this is my first post on LTT as a relatively recent PC convert, so uh... hi.
 
I need something clearing up in my head, not because I'm thinking of buying (I'm fancying Threadripper) but just because I can't get my head around it and the numerous other sources I've read seem to give completely conflicting information. 
 
x299 motherboards are ideally built with 44 PCIe lanes in mind, so I know putting a 16 lane CPU in there is going to disable a lot of features. My confusion comes from the additional chipset lanes. If a board has 3 M.2 slots, and is configured to give all 16 lanes of a 7640x/7740x to the top expansion slot (GPU for example), does this render the M.2 slots completely useless, or are they still connected through the chipset? If they are connected through the chipset, would putting 3 M.2 SSDs in RAID 0 be bottlenecked by said chipset? 
 
Further to this, if you went and put a 44 lane CPU in later, would this allow the M.2 slots to connect straight to the CPU rather than the chipset, or are these slots always going to use the chipset regardless of CPU lanes available? 
 
So much confusion on this platform as a newbie it's unreal 

As far as I understand (So I might be wrong) the CPU lanes are directly wired into the CPU socket itself giving lower latency and faster communication with the CPU itself. The chipset lanes go through the southbridge and up to the CPU adding some additional latency but still having the full bandwidth. So if you have a chipset that provides 16 or 20 lanes and a CPU that provides 16 lanes then your GPU would get 16 lanes from the CPU and the M.2 slots would get their lanes from the chipset but wouldn't be bottlenecked exactly but there might be a few nanoseconds of added latency.
 
It also depends on how the board is wired. Sometimes there might be an M.2 slot wired to a physical PCIe slot and would thus make use of those lanes instead of the chipset lanes.
 
To add onto that even the 1080Ti doesn't need the full x16 lanes, you could put two GPUs in there and each would operate at x8 (PCI 3.0 of course) and still be fine. You're talking maybe 1 FPS difference.
 
 
Edit:
Just to put it out there, for a newbie to the PC side of things, you seem like you've got a solid grasp on stuff so far  

Im not that hard into it but maybe this helps you out a bit:

To really know how a board will work you will have to download the manual and read it to find how the RAM, PCIe, sata, M.2, USB is effected by CPU choice and stuff.
 
I personally do not recommnd  a 7640X or 7740X at all.
 
He goes over 3 Motherboards and what is effected if using the 3 tiers of CPU's.
 
I would wait for X399 TR, if it also has a "low core" part like a 4c or 8c part that could fit your needs. (besides High FPS gaming) BUT it will have 64 PCIe lanes so you can throw GPUs and NVME drives at it with out worrying about it.
