Take a look at the RIPJAY and RIPGN videos on the tubes and what they use for overclocking.

for VMs, 2990WX will destroy the 7980xe.
also, "programming" doesnt require 18c, or even 8. streaming would work fine on a 2950x, and video editing, the 9900k reigns supreme. This is what i would do. Get a 2950X content creation box, and a seperate 9900k "Gaming" rig, then use the 2950x to stream your 9900k.

the 2950X is half the price, and within 10-15% of the 7980xe, depending on the workload, and has more PCIe(64 vs 40), only thing threadripper loses out on is thunderbolt 3.
use the saved 1000$ to get a workstation class GPU instead of a "gamer"
aka Quadro P5000 instead of 1080 ti, RTX titan (blah blah blah, sometimes professional drivers help, and nothing wrong with slightly better gaming perf) instead of a 2080 ti

Thank you all for your great reponses and technical info,, Thanks all

Yes me too!! i been thinking that exactly, to wait on 2020 new releases because these sound promising both AMD and Intel side... but for me that means settling for something less phenomenal right now as I'm currently stuck with a badass laptop, so I'm going around in circles as I need a system right now. The only thing I'd pick for workstation is 7980XE, preferably a delidded one, but that seems out of question right now

Somewhat. I just like the temps low.

No worries. I wanna get a laptop though. RTX 2070 in it or something would be nice.

You'd expect that from a major die shrink though, with some improvements of the architecture...

For gaming on 1440p 144Hz yea been speculating about this too, as to whether the CPU or GPU will become the bottleneck. I hear divided opinions in both user comments and reviews... If CPU won't make a diff on gaming at this level, I could just as good go for the Threadripper will it provide me more cores and not be limited to 64GB ram as with the 9900K which are both not great to look forward to. It's such a difficult choice to make right now.
 
Intuitively both GPU and single core CPU performance matter in games fps regardless of resolution played, so on the one hand I'm hoping for someone to confirm this to be false, while on the other hand I'm trying to decide what matters more to me.
 
The idea of settling with 9900K right now only to wait for a workstation in the future doesn't seem to satisfy me either, because I'll be sacrificing workstation needs in favor of gaming... for at least a whole year.
 
But the 9980XE from what I've heard/read... seems like a horrible choice and not worth the money >< they need to bring back 7980XE ..lol
 
at least until they got something better

It's never too late. Everyone needs LOVE.
 

same lol and im girl... have a cat too cant find love
 
give up on love, find the hottest CPU instead which can't reject you and maybe provide for a better future / profession / skillz than lovers do
or maybe they come some time when it's time for them to come, so in meantime focus on the things that make you come to life
 
starts with an idea, ends with creation. the belief that we need something/someone disempowers, but if we focus on what's possible ..life begins XD

PG279Q and XB171HU are going to be your best bets, but get the XB271HU with an IPS panel

I used the Asus pg279q for a while and I really liked it. Switched to the pg27uq because I wanted higher res and didn't even realize at the time that the best thing about the monitor is it's HDR. 

If you rich,you can chose Xeon W-3175X....?

Technically right now is not Next Gen.  It's not worth spending soo much money on a system when PCIE 4 is about to come out.
 
No one knows how PCIE 4 will play out and I expect a quick jump to PCIE 5

theres not really a "best" for virtualisation. it depends on your use case.
 
the 9900k has 8 cores, if you ran 4x VMs with 1vCPU each you've still got at least 4 full physical cores completely spare for the host OS. which is like still having a 7700k there! ANd i say at least as you still dont lose the core when you allocate it to a VM, it's all shared.
 
for most home users it will be fine, and if you were doing heavy virtualisation of many servers then you wouldnt be looking at consumer grade stuff anyway you'd be looking at real servers with proper processors.
 
hell a few years ago we used to run VM Hosts with 2x dual core Xeons so youre talking 4 cores, 8 threads at like 2Ghz... that would still run a dozen light VMs!

Just got the MSI MEG Z390 ACE and threw it in my 570X. Works well and has all the features you could want. I'd recommend against the Godlike or any E-ATX board. I don't think you can fit any E-ATX mb in the case, and if you can, it won't be worth it IMO.

I can't find more info either, but it seems like there's something wrong with techpowerup's test. I mean, why the hell would 2700X beat the 2950X in a multicore work considering the 2950X is practically a pair of 2700X glued together? It's not suffering from the memory connection problem like the 2990WX and 2970WX do. Even at worst, it should be doing the same as the 2700X, minus the frequency difference. Also no numbers on skylake-x even though techpowerup reviewed the 7900X earlier on.

9900k does well in all but VM where it falls behind TR and Skylake-X, it's the best choice you can go to. Ryzen isnt as consistent in performance for video editing, not looking forward to 3rd gen Ryzen changing that.
 
Learning the art of overclocking simply means using all of those platforms

You could just get a Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Elite and call it a day. It's the cheapest board carrying this VRM. There's still the Pro if you want more bling. the Godlike and Xtreme are the two best boards currently available, but that's plenty overkill.
 
That's just because of Intel's architecture. SSDs are all connected to the PCH sharing the low bandwidth there, unlike Ryzen which has 4 dedicated PCIe lanes from the CPU for the M.2 slot for PCIe drives.
 
depends on what you want from the system
 
but you have the Gene right? 

It has never been easier to buy a Z390 motherboard.
 
There's only 2 rules:
*Avoid ASUS at all cost, EXTREMELY overpriced junk, you're only paying for ROG branding not components.
*Buy any Gigabyte motherboard from the Aorus line up, best value and quality.
 
That's really it... if you wanna go all in go with the Aorus that fits your budget.

No need for that. Just copy the permalink from PCPP, then paste it into the post.
