  1. Agree
    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.

    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?
