Quite a stupid move by AMD who gave us those awesome CPUs in the past 1.5 years! But whatever :} Is flashing BIOS the same for all brands of 5700 (because it's the same chip)? Or for every brand it's different because the board is different?

Really? How come? Did they use the same chip but locked (?) some of its processing cores from some reason?

True, but if it's such a significant improvement, the 100$ might be in the threshold. I think it might be worth it

Forgot to ask you: I know I said that AMD have drivers issues and Nvidia equivalents might be better, but isn't the 1660 Super major downgrade from 5700XT?

Thank you! It's also nice that those beasts wattage is only around 400W! What would you consider a good margin between the wattage seen on PcPartPicker to the PSU wattage? +100W? +150W?

Thanks! Yes there are a few things I want to change: -I need WiFi connection, so perhaps a motherboard with WiFi, or you prefer I buy a WiFi card for that? -About the storage: I'd like it to be more reputable, like the 860 Evo -I think that for 3d stuff I'll need 32GB of memory (2x16GB set). And if the price difference is very little, I'd prefer a known brand, maybe HyperX or Vengeance? -About the 5700XT, I heard that the Nvidia equivalents are better nowadays or that's not true? (I want best compatibility with my softwares)

Sorry, I just realized I accidentally clicked "Mark as Solved".. I guess it prevented you from replying?

Thank you! Because one build is for helping a friend. Softwares used: 3ds Max, Revvit, Autocad. pretty much the same work load, but different budget

I need your help for 2 builds, budgets are: 1000$ for one PC and 1500$ for the second PC. Both PCs will be used for 3d rendering / other 3d work and gaming. If the budget was 2000$ I'd go with the Ryzen 3900x and 2080 Super. But at those budgets there are too many options and I'm not sure what should I build. *By the way, would that matter if the PC was only for gaming or only for 3d stuff? Or with todays tech it wouldn't change the build (at those budgets) Thanks

This is an awesome build, but I just checked it and where I live the price is 1500$ for that (including the rest of the necessary items, compared to the 990$ build)?.

You know what, Until 1-2 years ago, I'd say this dual Xeon made sense, but now it seems that the AMD CPUs are much more worth it after what you just showed me. I feel like AMD is actually showing us the true cost of CPUs and exopsing Intel. Looks like the lack of competition until recently made Intel sell us crap for high price. Thank you AMD, keep giving Intel this beating

Less for gaming, more 3d work. I wonder what's the real life difference between DDR3@1866 and DDR4@2400 for example Thanks! And what about 2 CPU connectors? Also, about the NVME: Do these old motherboards support NVME? Do you have any other Xeon to suggest at this price range? Hopefully the many cores will compensate Assuming 3700x gets 2100 in Cinebench R15 and the dual Xeons get 2900, will AVX2 matter? I mean doesn't the final result matter? I know it will matter when you compare it to 3900x, but when you have 800 difference in Cinebench, doesn't it show how it's going to perform in other 3d softwares?

I just thought about building this PC from used parts (some are new): CPU: (used) Dual Xeon E5-2695v2 ~300$ CPU Coolers: (new) Two CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo ~60$ Motherboard: (used) Dual socket LGA-2011 server motherboard (ATX) ~180$ RAM: (used) 8x8GB Samsung ECC REG DDR3 1866Mhz ~120$ (Is it really that cheap?Anything wrong with it?) Storage: (new) Samsung 860 1TB Evo SATA 2.5" ~110$ PSU: (new) Corsair RM750x ~120$ (Or TX750m instead? Does it really have 2 CPU connectors?) Case: (new) Corsair Carbide 275R ~100$ Total ~990$ Assuming all parts work, do you see any compatibility issues? What do you think of it? What would you change? I think it will score around 3000 on Cinebench R15, and not to mention that it's very good for multitasking compared to desktop CPUs at the same price range, or I'm mistaken? Let me know I'm really interested in this build Will it bottleneck any of the newer GPUs if I added one? Thanks!
