So I am trying to figure out the best combo to build where i can upgrade and carry this build forward over the next 5-6 years. So I currently have a 1070 gtx video card, because of cost, i know in about 2 years i will buy a 2nd and run SLI to keep up on video games and that should push it to that 6 year mark before i have to make a large video card jump. I currently run 4 SSD hard drives, and would like to add an m.2 as boot drive, but from what i have read the m.2 robs from my pcie lanes, and in a few articles i have read the same about running SSD. So running SLI for video cards with a CPU that has only 16 pcie lanes will be a problem i think. I could be wrong, but I want to make sure moving forward that I get the best set up I can without breaking the bank. Do I get a threadripper 1900x cpu? Or will the intel 8700k coffie lake do the job? I know I should pick a chipset from the most current release to push my build to lasting the 6 years, but which? This build will be air cooled to start, and will be upgraded to water cooling for the over clocking next year. Any help would be appreciated.
