mdizzle3 got a reaction from Gohardgrandpa in how long do you wait to buy a CPU after its release?
Preorder and then send back if benchmarks aren't good enough. Then I'll order something else

On a CH7 you're gonna want 2x16GB.

2x16gb is usually recommended if you're buying new.. It'll give you room for future upgrades as well..
4x8gb will work but you have a higher chance running 2x16 at higher speeds than 4x8gb.. Less stress on the memory controller and all that..

The 3000 compat bios was launched 1 month ago, new boards should be fine.

Not at launch they wont be. You will need to perform a BIOS update on it to be compatible. However, the Crosshair VII does have a BIOS flashback that allows you to flash the BIOS without a CPU installed.

mdizzle3 got a reaction from James300 in X570, X470 or B450 for a mid-tier build
Valid point.
My use case is more CPU heavy rather than GPU.
I mainly run VM work but would like to game on the rig too.
Thought I'd be better off with a x470 board with great VRM rather than a low end 570 board.

Ive been looking at this too.
I am starting from scratch and was thinking of getting a mid/high end x470 (decent VRM) with the 3800x or 3900x.
I plan to run stock speeds (maybe a slight OC)
RAM Probably 3400 ish
GPU will be the new Navi or Vega 64.
I thought the x470 borard were getting some PCie 4.0 support?
