  1. I used the 5820k OC'd to 4.5 since I bought it 3 years ago (that's probably why it died too) and it worked like a charm. It was very rarely slow when using tons of demanding apps (like photoshop, after effects, vegas etc.) and streaming. I do intend to overclock just a bit, maybe 10%. Current cooler is NZXT Kraken X62. And for your last question, I am from Romania .
  2. So my old PC decided to die a little too soon, can't figure out if it's the motherboard(R5E) or the CPU(i7-5820k) that's not working anymore and decided to no try and repair/replace what's broken and instead upgrade to a newer generation. I will keep everything I had except for the CPU and mottherboard. It had a 1080ti, 1000w Corsairs PSU, 16 GBs of RAM and some SSDs+HDDs. What I need is an advice on the CPU-MoBo. Should I go with the intel x299 and 7th gen i7-7820x or i9-7900x or should I go with z370 and the i7-8700k. I usually use the computer for gaming on a 1440p@160Hz monitor. I also stream sometime and do some video editing for YouTube(Sony Vegas/After Effects) and also use it for programming. Budget: £1000. I will post below a list of parts that I considered buying and their pricing where I am, maybe it helps. CPU: i9-7900x - £679 i7-8700x - £327 i7-7820x - £420 Motherboard: Asus TUF X299 MK1 - £225 Asus Strix Z370 - £153 Asus Strix X299-XE - £274 Feel free to give any kind of advice and/or other parts. Thank you. EDIT: words
